APEX: Meet the rest of the web

Last December at Tech 18 and then again at this year’s UKOUG Midlands Tech Event, I gave a presentation (including live demos) on how to create and consume Web Services in APEX.

I have been asked on several occasions if I could publish a recording of the presentation, so here it is. The video includes the full presentation and the live demonstrations I gave.

It briefly covers the following areas.

  • The structure of Oracle Web Services and how to access them.
  • Creating Web Services with the ORDS API and protecting with the OAUTH API.
  • The updated APEX RESTful Services Interface and how to use it to create / protect Web Services.
  • Using Postman to test.
  • How to create reports and charts over Web Services using Web Source Modules.
  • How to use REST enabled SQL to run SQL queries on a remote database as the source for reports and charts.
