On the UniREST Server home page, click the gear icon in the top-right corner to have access to the system settings and tools.
Keys and Server URL
The security Keys are randomly generated once during the UniREST Server application installation. They shouldn’t be changed, but it can be done, for example, if you have reinstalled the UniREST Server and you need to use the Keys generated in the previous installation.
The Server URL is the full HTTP(s) url to the WordPress REST Engine. It’s read by the UniREST Server application and used for communications. Also this parameter shouldn’t be changed, but if your Server has some specific need, you can change it.
APIs Backup
The UniREST Server application offers a basic, easy way to make a backup copy of all your APIs and Database tables structure.
Exporting
To make a backup copy:
- in the “What to export…” menu, select what you want to backup. You can backup your APIs, your Database tables structures or both;
- click the [EXPORT] button. The provided text field will be filled with your backup data. Then, simply copy that text and paste it into a txt file.
Importing
To restore a backup:
- copy the backup text into the text field;
- press the [IMPORT] button.
The APIs will be transferred into your UniREST Server application system. If it already contains some APIs, they will be overwritten with the new ones.
If your backup contains Database tables structures, be careful that those tables don’t already exist or an error may occur. Moreover, keep in mind that only the tables structures are backed up. If you need to make a backup of your Database and data, you should use other tools (e.g. phpMyAdmin).
Access Control Allow Origin
This field allows you to set the HTTP(s) address that is authorized to perform in-server communication. This is mandatory if you are going to develop a project for the WebGL platform. It can be * as well, but it’s not recommended for security reasons. If you aren’t going to develop for the WebGL platform, you can leave this field empty because it’s unused.
