Rest API (version 11)
Introduction
Rest API is located in /api/ path of the deployed application. For instance, Rest API of pdmap project that can be browsed using http://pdmap.uni.lu/minerva/ will be located here: http://pdmap.uni.lu/minerva/api/
Rest API tries to follow API Design Guide by Google.
All API calls (except login) must include MINERVA_AUTH_TOKEN obtained due login process.
Quickstart guide
To use API first we need to login:
curl -X POST -c - --data "login=anonymous&password=" http://pg-sandbox.uni.lu/minerva/api/doLogin
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 55 0 55 0 0 1774 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 1774{"info":"Login successful. TOKEN returned as a cookie"}# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# https://curl.haxx.se/docs/http-cookies.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.
localhost FALSE / FALSE 1496934071 MINERVA_AUTH_TOKEN xxxxxxxx
The response creates an authentication token and puts it into a cookie MINERVA_AUTH_TOKEN=xxxxxxxx
. When using console curl command this cookie must be attached to every query that follows.
When we have authentication token we can access information about december release of PD map project:
curl -X GET --cookie "MINERVA_AUTH_TOKEN=xxxxxxxx" http://pg-sandbox.uni.lu/minerva/api/projects/pdmap_dec15/
Specification
