// Ignition 8.1 API

The live Ignition bridge for AI agents that need proof.

Delivered through a controlled Web Dev runner, the Ignition 8.1 API turns a reachable Gateway into a work surface for an AI agent: inspect the project, validate resources, apply approved work, read logs, and roll back when needed.

API v0.3.224

Gateway visibility

Give an approved AI agent a way to see the project it is working against before it invents paths, routes, tags, or resources.

Validation loop

Dry-run changes, check routes and views, confirm required resources, and catch obvious issues before anything is applied.

Rollback confidence

Create backups and rollback points so iteration feels practical instead of risky or hard to unwind.

DRY-RUN

LOGS

// Ignition 8.3.8 API

Seventy-two fixed actions for Ignition 8.3.8.

The Ignition 8.3 llmImport API is a separate fixed-action enhancement package. It complements the built-in OpenAPI with maintained expression, Event Stream, SFC, Vision, tag, alarm, Perspective, UDT, Jython, runtime, and data-boundary actions without accepting arbitrary executable code.

llmImport fixed-action API

Tag and UDT work

Bounded reads, browsing, writes, history, complex values, and grouped UDT resources.

Alarm workflows

Scoped status, journal, shelve, unshelve, and acknowledgement actions with readback.

Perspective and Vision

Bounded views, routes, project scripts, Named Query expressions, Vision labs, client sessions, and navigation workflows.

Expression and runtime

Expression tags, Event Streams, SFCs, Jython, imports, Java, data, text, networking, Unicode, and exact result boundaries.

Passing fixtures prove only their documented bounded conditions. They are evidence inputs, not blanket claims about every library, scope, or Gateway resource.

Less guessing

The agent can inspect before it builds.

Faster review

Dry-runs and checks make output easier to trust.

Better pages

Tags, queries, styles, and resources come from the real project.

// What the API unlocks

The part of the toolkit that lets AI work against reality.

Skills tell the agent how Ignition work should be built. The API gives it the controlled feedback loop to check that work against a reachable development or staging Gateway.

Apply importable packages

Move from generated Perspective artifacts to Gateway-ready resources with a repeatable review and apply path.

Validate Perspective pages

Check that routes, views, and copied resources line up with the expected project structure.

Browse tags and providers

Let the AI discover tag providers, folders, tag paths, and equipment structure before binding components.

Build UDT-aware workflows

Support reusable equipment models, UDT scaffolds, instances, and member overrides instead of copied one-off tag folders.

Read values and health signals

Use live tag reads, quality checks, alarm status, and historian readiness checks to build pages against real signals.

Read recent Gateway logs

Ask what happened after a change and surface the errors or warnings that matter for the next iteration.

Discover Named Queries

Find query assets and run capped read-only previews so dashboards can be built around real data shapes.

Match existing project style

Discover reusable views, styles, themes, images, and known-good seed components instead of making the page feel bolted on.

Backups, rollback, and self-update

Keep the runner itself maintainable while protecting project work with backups and reversible apply steps.

Inspect native Vision clients

Inspect Vision resources and dependencies, query client sessions, capture native screenshots, check text fit, and run fixed chart or table probes with state restoration.

Included in the Ignition AI Toolkit

Buy the skill stack and the runner together.

The API is strongest when paired with the Perspective Host Builder, Vision Module Skill with built-in Vision Jython, Button Logging, AI Log Assistant, UDT Builder, HMI/SCADA Style Guide, Expression Language, Jython, SQL, and import-zip skills included in the same product.

// The sales difference

It turns AI from a file generator into an Ignition-aware teammate.

Without a feedback loop, the buyer gets files and still has to manually discover every mismatch. With the runner, the agent can verify the real environment and keep improving the artifact.

Without the runner

  • Tag paths get hardcoded from memory.
  • Perspective routes are guessed instead of checked.
  • Errors are discovered later inside Designer.
  • Rollback depends on manual discipline.

With the runner

  • The agent discovers project assets before binding.
  • Views, pages, routes, and resources are validated.
  • Logs guide the next correction immediately.
  • Backups and rollback are part of the workflow.

// The workflow buyers remember

A simple loop: inspect, build, validate, apply, improve.

01

Inspect the Gateway

02

Generate the change

03

Dry-run and validate

04

Apply with a rollback point

05

Read logs and iterate
