Hello
We have the following use case :
We would like to interact from a Tulip apps to a software install locally on the computer that run Tulip player. This software have API open for integration.
What is the best approach for Tulip to call those local API? Custom widget?

Thanks for your help,

Hi @Nicolas -

The recommendation from our team is either:

  1. Use an OPCH within the same network as the player computer - the Player cannot act as a connector host (by design, it would change its security posture)
  2. Work with your IT department to request making the API public

You could do port forwarding without an OPCH, either with Edge (ECH) or have a computer there that can forwards the traffic from CCH, but we would only recommend this for single point use cases with low frequency.
