Basics
Data Types

  1. Date is passed like:
      value : "2012-04-23"

    DateTime is passed like:
      value : "2014-05-19T18:25:43.511"

    DateTimeUTC is passed like:
      value : "2012-04-23T18:15:43.511Z"

    Boolean values are passed like:
      value : true
      value : false

    Numbers are passed like:
      value : 22
      value : 3.141592

    Strings are passed like:
      value : "some text"

Basic Response

 

If the response is different than GET and error is not a default(for example when resource is not found, or the Token is not provided) API error the json is returned. It always contains:

{
  IsSuccess: Boolean,
  ErrorMessage: String
}

If the request was successful the "IsSuccess" is set TRUE.

If there are errors the "IsSuccess" is set FALSE, additionally there may be a custom message in "ErrorMessage" field.

 

Basic Request

  1. Each API request has to have "Authorization" header with value Token and "Content-Type" header with value "application-json".

    Content-Type: application/json
    Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yM[...] 

     

IMPORTANT! Each Request to API has to meet the Basic Request requirement.

 

Authentication

Method

Path

Description

 POST

 /api/token

 Obtaining token.

Obtaining a Token

Endpoint responsible for authenticating provided credentials.

 

POST /api/token

 

The user has to POST x-www-form-urlencoded user credentials together with "grant_type" (for now only "password" grant type is supported):

username: user_identifier
password: password
grant_type: password

Together with header:
"Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

If the authentication request returns an error "401 - Unauthorized", it most likely means that the user is not in group API and is not authorized to use API (User can be added to group API by editing a system datatable SYSUSERINGROUP).

When User is authenticated successfully the endpoint returns the json containing "access_token", together with "token_type", who requested it and expiration information.

{
  "access_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAxLzA0L3htbGRzaWctbW9yZSNobWFjLXNoYTM4NCJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6ImFkbWluQHRlc3QucGwiLCJ1bmlxdWVfbmFtZSI6IkFkbWluaXN0cmF0b3IiLCJodHRwOi8vcWFsY3dpc2UvY2xhaW1zL2RiaWQiOiIxLUxpc3QtU1lTVVNFUi1BRE1JTkBURVNULlBMIiwicm9sZSI6WyIqT3duZXIiLCJBRE1JTklTVFJBVE9SUyIsIkFMTCIsIkRFU0lHTkVSUyIsIlVTRUxPQ0FMQVBQUyQiLCJBUEkiXSwiaXNzIjoiUWFsY3dpc2UiLCJhdWQiOiIqIiwiZXhwIjoxNDk5OTg0OTQzLCJuYmYiOjE0OTk5NDE3NDN9.u0PeBG5nDHnhVooXSQ_X_Rgq5riV4ybETs_7db6L8YcDLG3IMw6zprD--gQ7FqRC",
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "expires_in": 43199
}

"access_token" and "token_type" are the most important. They are used to create the Token value that should be stored by the Client using the API.

 

Create a Token

 

Concatenate values "token_type" with "access_token" from /api/token JSON response.

IMPORTANT!: The "token_type" with "access_token" have to be space( " " ) separated.

Example token:
"bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAxLzA0L3htbGRzaWctbW9yZSNobWFjLXNoYTM4NCJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6ImFkbWluQHRlc3QucGwiLCJ1bmlxdWVfbmFtZSI6IkFkbWluaXN0cmF0b3IiLCJodHRwOi8vcWFsY3dpc2UvY2xhaW1zL2RiaWQiOiIxLUxpc3QtU1lTVVNFUi1BRE1JTkBURVNULlBMIiwicm9sZSI6WyIqT3duZXIiLCJBRE1JTklTVFJBVE9SUyIsIkFMTCIsIkRFU0lHTkVSUyIsIlVTRUxPQ0FMQVBQUyQiLCJBUEkiXSwiaXNzIjoiUWFsY3dpc2UiLCJhdWQiOiIqIiwiZXhwIjoxNDk5OTg0OTQzLCJuYmYiOjE0OTk5NDE3NDN9.u0PeBG5nDHnhVooXSQ_X_Rgq5riV4ybETs_7db6L8YcDLG3IMw6zprD--gQ7FqRC"

Token is the way that the user is authenticated and authorized on the server side. Each API Request which requires authentication has to have it as "Authorization" header.

POST /api/getrecords/{name}

 

Explanation:

This method needs a model which contains rows with single or composite keys for rows. Those rows that have matching records in a provided by {name} definition are returned in a JSON.



Model (Array of objects):

[
  {
    "KeyField" : value,
    "KeyField2" : value2
  }
]

 

Example:

[
  {
    "TYPE" : 1,
    "NAME" : "cheapProduct"
  },
  {
    "TYPE" : 2,
    "NAME" : "secondProduct"
  }
]

POST /api/getrecords/TEST-TABLE

 

Gets 2 rows from TEST-TABLE, with given ids, first row key(1, abc), second row key(11, abc)

 

 

Add new records

Add one or more records.

 

POST /api/record/{name}

 

Explanation:

Saves the records provided in the model to definition with {name}.

 

Model (Array of objects):

[
  {
    "KeyField" : value,
    "KeyField2" : value2,
    "Field" : value3
  }
]

key - column name

 

Example:

[
  {
    "TYPE" : 2,
    "NAME" : "newProduct",
    "COUNT" : 331
  },
  {
    "TYPE" : 2,
    "NAME" : "newerProduct",
    "COUNT" : 241
  }
]

POST /api/record/PRODUCTS

 

 

Update records

Update one or more records.

 

PUT /api/record/{name}

 

Explanation:

Updates the records provided in the model. If the record is nonexistent it does NOT create it.

 

Model:

[
  {
    "KeyField" : value,
    "KeyField2" : value2,
    "Field" : value3
  }
] 

The row to be updated is determined by the key values, they can not be updated. Only the other values which do not belong to the key are updated.

 

Example:

[
  {
      "TYPE" : 2,
      "NAME" : "newProduct",
      "COUNT" : 1337
    }
]

PUT /api/record/PRODUCTS

 

The row defined by composite key(2, "newProduct") will have updated non Key Column "count" value to  1337.

update or insert records

Upsert (Update or Insert) multiple records.

 

PUT /api/recordupsert/{name}

 

Explanation:

Updates or inserts the records provided in the model. If the record is nonexistent it is created it, if it exists it is updated.

 

Model:

[
  {
    "KeyField" : value,
    "KeyField2" : value2,
    "Field" : value3
  }
] 

For the records that exist, the row to be updated is determined by the key values, they can not be updated. Only the other values which do not belong to the key are updated. Records that do not exist are created and added to definition with {name}.

 

Example:

[
  {
      "TYPE" : 3,
      "NAME" : "someProduct",
      "COUNT" : 300
    }
]

PUT /api/recordupsert/PRODUCTS

 

If the record exists the row defined by composite key(3, "someProduct"), will have updated non Key Column "count" value to  300. However if the record does not exists it will be created instead.

Delete all records

Delete all records from definition.

 

DELETE api/deleteallrecords/{name}

 

Explanation:

Deletes all the records that are currently in a definition with given name.

 

Example:

DELETE  /api/deleteallrecords/USER-LIST

 

 

Delete single record

Delete single record.

 

DELETE /api/record/{name}/{recordID}

 

Explanation:

Deletes an exact record identified by ID,  from definition with given name.

 

Example:

DELETE  /api/record/USER-LIST/1

 

 

Delete multiple records with given keys

Delete selected rows.

 

DELETE /api/record/{name}

 

Explanation:

This method needs a model which contains rows with single or composite keys for rows. Those rows that have matching records in a provided by {name} definition are removed.

 

Model (Array of objects):

[
  {

    "KeyField" : value,
    "KeyField2" : value2
  }
]

key - name of the column containing key
value - value of a key for given row and column

 

Example:

[
  {
    "TYPE" : 2,
    "NAME" : "valuableProduct"
  }
]

DELETE /api/record/TEST-TABLE

 

This will delete from TEST-TABLE the row with composite key(2,"valuableProduct")

REMARK!: Not all values of columns for the row are necessary, it is enough to provide only row values of columns which are marked as keys.

Execute action in application instance

Execute workflow Action.

 

POST /api/app/{appID}

 

Explanation:

User can use this method to execute a defined workflow action. There are multiple requirements that have to be met to execute this. User needs to be an editor at current state. Current State has to have defined workflow step for the action trying to execute. 

Remark: It doesn't matter if the action is visible or not, as long as the execution condition is met it will be executed.

 

Model:

Action: String

 

Action is the case sensitive name of the action we want to execute.
{AppID} from URL  is an actual ID of an instance of application(can be viewed for example when visiting a saved instance of an application from the main stream, the ID is part of the url).

 

Example:

{
  "Action" : "actionname",
}

REMARK!: In the multipart/form-data only the name of the file matters, and the file is saved under that name. If the name is a duplicate the consecutive incremented integer is added at the end of the name before the file type to make it unique. (It is best to take a look at what was stored after POST )

 

REMARK!: if address contains dot character for example SECTION1.A1 add / before action parameter
