Does Rhino has any plugin or api to upload and import image direct to editor

I want to make a mobile app that can push files (images) directly to Rhino using any api or plugin

So my question is : Does Rhino offers any http rest api or something like this, that I can call and push files directly to Rhino and accepting files on Rhino using any plugin or anything else.

Or should I upload files somewhere else for example Google Drive and than make a plugin in Rhino and download files from Google Drive.

thanks !

Hi @adriatikgashiad,

No, Rhino does not have any kind of HTTP api that accepts incoming requests. It is, however, possible to write an plug-in that provides this service. It’s also possible to write a plug-in that poll’s come cloud drive service, as Google Drive. It’s all possible with some work.

so I can make any server using rhino plugin and then connect to that server from other clients, or you mean I just can make plugin that downloads files from some server ex google cloud ?

You can write a Rhino plug-in that listens to incoming HTTP requests…

So Dale just to be clear what do you mean with incoming HTTP requests… u mean that for example computer that rhino is installed is also server ?

Hi @adriatikgashiad,

You asked if Rhino had any kind of HTTP API, which it does not. I assume this mean you want to ‘hit’ Rhino like you would any other HTTP ‘server’.

Am I confused?

this is scenario that im looking for, if it’s possible

It is possible - you’ll have to write the Rhino plug-in that does the listening.
