REST API

[erictice]

In using the REST 3.0 API I am finding that the documentation is somewhat incomplete.  For example, in the rules services the Add Action Item Queue would logically have a number of inputs, but they are not listed as they are under content.  Is there a more detailed doc out there?

You are not the only one finding it incomplete.

And mostly there is even no example given.

Somewhat frustrating…  :x

Yes.  It seems that they want the community to update it as they ferret out the answers.  I will do some of that.  It would be helpful for people to add examples of how to implement the services.  I will add how you might call it from Java to some as I get farther along to assure that others don't have the same problems.

I would rather tend think they want to sell training lessons.  :wink:

Hi guys,
that has nothing to do with "selling training sessions". You don't receive a full API documentation in an official training.
You're using Open Source Software & OS is build on contribution. If you miss sth. –> add it.
This wiki content (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Repository_RESTful_API_Reference) is simply generated by calling http://<host>:<port>/alfresco/service/index/all.mediawiki?url=/api&desc=Public
JSON Input, of POST commands isn't listed because it is not part of desc.xml-files. This is a weakness, but you'll find all you need in the source code (js and ftl-files).
Cheers, jan

To add something I would first need to find out or find somebody who knows how to do/solve an actual/particular problem…  :wink:

cheers, jan

Apart from the attached smiley to the comment you are referring to, you are right - I should not blame Alfresco for the fact that there is still a lot to do. Thanks for the reminder. When I really start blaming, it looks different - so I shouldn't either start.

Have a nice day.

d'accord  :wink:

BTW: I have added the appropriate notes to the documentation.
