The REST-API to fetch the content is based on the content part of the [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/open-collaboration-services open collaboration services API]. Right now the following calls are implemented:

'''CATEGORIES'''

The [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/open-collaboration-services#head-bc4b00b0f4e7121df53cdd3a8d0c71a62b30a465 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 [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/open-collaboration-services#head-bece9f40fa226bfd6dab67769e1750925a416f95-2 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

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 [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/open-collaboration-services#head-8adf4754e5f65b3d851400de09c52409f7a15031-5 specification] yet. Work is ongoing.

'''Open issues'''

Related to the [[Task:Single_sign-on 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 [http://www.salmon-protocol.org/ salmon protocol] for that. But this is still work in progress.
