JSON Service

The JSON Service packages a folder's content for use as a REST service

Any folder in any of SAEON's portal environments can be accessed as a JSON service. This service is easy to use: just add /jsonContent to the end of any folder. Examples:

 

A list of all the stubs in the Egagasini Personnel folder:

http://skp.dirisa.org/repository/Egagasini/personnel/jsonContent?types=Stub&depth=1

 

A list of all the custodians in the SAEON Data Portal:

http://data.saeon.ac.za/jsonContent?types=Custodian&depth=1

 

A list of all the news items in all of the portals hosted by SAEON (data.dirisa.org is the root site containing all other sites):

http://data.dirisa.org/jsonContent?types=News%20Item&%20depth=-1

 

The Item Types (types=) supported include

page

stub

news item

custodian

file

image

event

window

etc.

 

The 'depth' parameter determines whether subfolders are returned or not.

-1: All subfolders

0: Root folder only

1: Root plus 1 set of child folders

etc.
