The REST-API to fetch the content is based on the content part of the open collaboration services API. Right now the following calls are implemented:



CATEGORIES

The categories API is fully implemented. An example for the OS2008:

.../categories?parent=OS2008 : 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ocs>
   <meta>
       <status>ok</status>
       <message></message>
       <totalitems>16</totalitems>
   </meta>
   <data>
       <category>
           <id>id</id>
           <name>Multimedia</name>
       </category>
       <category>
           <id>id</id>
           <name>Games</name>
       </category>
       ...
       <category>
           <id>id</id>
           <name>Travel</name>
       </category>
   </data>
</ocs>



LIST

The idea of this call is to get a list regarding to the arguments, given in the specification. The following arguments are implemented:

  • search: searches for a specified keyword
  • categories: filters the list by the specified category
  • page: content page
  • pagesize: items per page
  • sortmode: Possible values are: "new" - newest first , "alpha" - alphabetical, "high" - highest rated, "down" - most downloads

Further the list of fields, which are returned by the request are the ones you find in the example: 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ocs>
   <meta>
       <status>ok</status>
       <message></message>
       <totalitems>1</totalitems>
   </meta>
   <data>
       <content>
           <id>id</id>
           <name>name</name>
           <version>1.0</version>
           <changed>2009-05-06T12:05:13+0000</changed>
           <created>2009-05-06T12:05:13+0000</created>
           <downloads>0</downloads>
           <score>0</score>
           <comments>0</comments>
       </content>
   </data>
</ocs>


GET

The get-method is not based on the specification yet. Work is ongoing.



NEXT STEPS

  • separate ratings and comments


Open issues

Related to the SSO task is the question on how to implement the features, where a log-in is required, like personal rating and commenting. One suggestion would be to use the salmon protocol for that. But this is still work in progress.
