5 XWiki provides fine-grain access to virtually every element through an API that is based on HTTP semantics, i.e., a RESTful API. In this page you will find all the details to take advantage of this API and the instructions to use it at its full potential.
6
7 = Accessing the service =
8
9 By defaut the XWiki RESTful API entrypoint is rooted at the following URI:
10
11 {{code}}
12
13 http://host:port/xwiki/rest
14
15 {{/code}}
16
17 All the resource references described in the [[XWiki RESTful API Documentation>>#HXWikiRESTfulAPIDocumentation]] should be intended relative to this URL.
18
19 For example the, the ##/wikis## resources on a server running on ##localhost## on port ##8080## can be retrieved using the following URL : ##http:~/~/localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis##
20
21 = Dataset =
22
23 This section contains a brief and high-level description of the XWiki data set that should serve as a basis for presenting resources and their associated operations.
24
25 XWiki has **pages** organized in **spaces**. Each **page** is available in multiple **versions** (its **history**) and **translations**. Translated pages have their own **versions** and **history** which are independent. Each page might have **attachments**. Each attachment has its own **history**. Attachments are shared among all the different translations of a page (i.e., the same set of attachments is the same regardless of the page language). Pages can have one or more **objects**. Objects are instances of a **class** that contains a set of **properties**. Some objects might be directly exposed as first class entities, such as **comments** and **tags**. Objects, as attachments, are shared among all page translations.
26
27 = Understanding resources and representations =
28
29 "An important concept in REST is the existence of resources (sources of specific information), each of which is referenced with a global identifier (e.g., an URI in HTTP). In order to manipulate these resources, components of the network (user agents and origin servers) communicate via a standardized interface (e.g., HTTP) and exchange representations of these resources (the actual documents conveying the information)." ([[Wikipedia>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer#REST.27s_central_principle:_resources]])
30
31 Resources in XWiki are pages, attachments, objects, properties, spaces, and all the //things// we described in the previous section. XWiki has a default way of conveying the information about these resources, i.e., by providing well defined XML representations that contain all the information associated to the resource in an XML format. This format is described using an XML Schema Definition file that can be found here: [[http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-rest/src/main/resources/xwiki.rest.model.xsd]]
32
33 Of course the same resource can be represented in many different ways. This is yet to be documented.
34
35 Another important aspect of representations is that they contain useful information for linking related resources. This is a realization of the //Hypermedia As The Engine Of The Application State (HATEOAS)// principle. In XML representations this information is conveyed through the ##<link>## tag. This tag has two important parameters: **rel** and **href**. **rel** specifies the "semantics" of the link, while **href** is the URI of the linked resource.
36
37 For example, in the representation of a page, we can have links to the comments, tags, attachments which are independent resources associated to the current page. These links are provided in the XML representation of a page and allow a client to navigate to related resources... Like we do every day when we click on a link in a web page.

40
41 == Relations ==
42
43 The available relations that you might find in the XML resource representations are the following:
44
45 |=Rel|=Semantics
46 |{{{http://www.xwiki.org/rel/wikis}}}|The representation containing the list of virtual wikis.
47 |{{{http://www.xwiki.org/rel/spaces}}}|The representation containing the list of spaces in a wiki.
48 |{{{http://www.xwiki.org/rel/pages}}}|The representation containing the list of pages in a space.
49 |{{{http://www.xwiki.org/rel/translation}}}|The representation containing a translation of a page.
50 |{{{http://www.xwiki.org/rel/page}}}|The representation for a page.
51 |{{{http://www.xwiki.org/rel/space}}}|The representation for a space.
52 |{{{http://www.xwiki.org/rel/parent}}}|The representation for the page that is parent of the current resource.
53 |{{{http://www.xwiki.org/rel/home}}}|The representation for the page that is the home of the current resource.
54 |{{{http://www.xwiki.org/rel/attachmentData}}}|The representation of the actual attachment data.
55 |{{{http://www.xwiki.org/rel/comments}}}|The representation of the list of comments associated to the current resource.
56 |{{{http://www.xwiki.org/rel/attachments}}}|The representation of the list of attachments associated to the current resource.

70 Relations are defined as URIs in order to provide a sort of namespace. Currently these URIs are not links to real web pages but, in the future, they might point to descriptions of their semantics on actual web pages (or other kinds of representations).
71
72 == The "HATEOAS" Graph ==
73
74 In order to better understand the relations among resources you might have a look at this [[graph>>attach:XWikiHATEOAS.pdf]] that pictures all the resources available in the XWiki RESTful API and the relations among them. In this graph, nodes are [[URI templates>>http://bitworking.org/projects/URI-Templates/spec/draft-gregorio-uritemplate-03.txt]] representing classes of resources. Edges are the possible links that you might find in a representation of a given resource, and their associated relations.
75
76 This graph shows that by starting from the API entry-point a client can navigate and discover all the resources just by following the links provided in representations (and by knowing their semantics). This was exactly the way how this graph was generated.
77
78 = Interacting with the XWiki RESTful API =
79
80 The XWiki RESTful API is accessible through HTTP so, in principle, you can use every client that is capable of "speaking" HTTP in order to interact with it. Even a web browser!
81 If you want to write more complex programs you might download an HTTP library for your favorite language (e.g., [[http://hc.apache.org/]]).
82
83 Java users might take advantage of the [[JAXB>>https://jaxb.dev.java.net]] framework and its [[XJC binding compiler>>https://jaxb.dev.java.net/jaxb20-ea3/docs/xjc.html]] in order to generate domain object models directly from the [[XML Schema Definition>>http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-rest/src/main/resources/xwiki.rest.model.xsd]], and use them for serializing and de-serializing XML representations.
84
85 If you use this approach (Apache HTTP Client + JAXB) you will find yourself writing some code like this:
86
87 {{code language="java"}}
88 import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
89 import javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller;
90
91 import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
92 import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;
93 import org.xwiki.rest.model.jaxb.Page;
94
95 ...
96 HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
97 JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance("org.xwiki.rest.model.jaxb");
98 Unmarshaller unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();
99
100 GetMethod getMethod = new GetMethod("http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/WebHome");
101 getMethod.addRequestHeader("Accept", "application/xml");
102 httpClient.executeMethod(getMethod);
103
104 Page page = (Page) unmarshaller.unmarshal(getMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream());
105 {{/code}}
106
107 And you will have all the information about the Main.WebHome page in the Page object, without the need of handling XML directly.
108
109 Because of the wide variety of HTTP frameworks available we don't provide a full tutorial about using them. However, in order to show you how to interact with the XWiki RESTful API, we will use [[curl>>http://curl.haxx.se]]: a standard command line HTTP client that provides an interface to all the functionalities of the HTTP protocol.
110
111 By using curl, the previous example would have been:
112
113 {{code language="xml"}}
114 $ curl http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/WebHome
115 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
116 <page xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org">
117 <link rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/space" href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main"/>
118 ...
119 {{/code}}
120
121 == Authentication ==
122
123 The XWiki RESTful API supports two types of authentication:
124
125 * **HTTP BASIC Auth**: You provide your credentials using the Authorization HTTP header
126 * **XWiki session**: If you are logged in XWiki and you use the cookies provided by the authentication mechanism, you will also be authenticated to the XWiki RESTful API. This is useful, for example, when you are interacting with the API using the XMLHttpRequest object of a browser using Javascript.
127
128 If you don't provide any credentials the XWiki RESTful API will recognize you as a XWiki.Guest user.
129
130 So if you have, let's say a Main.PrivatePage, and you try to do:
131
132 {{code language="none"}}
133 $ curl -v http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/PrivatePage
134 ...
135 < HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
136 ...
137 {{/code}}
138
139 You will get an Unauthorized empty response.
140
141 On the contrary, by specifying Admin credentials you gain access to the actual page:
142
143 {{code language="xml"}}
144 $ curl -u Admin:admin http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/PrivatePage
145 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
146 <page xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org">
147 <link rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/space" href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main"/>
148 ...
149 <content>Only admin can see this</content>
150 </page>
151 {{/code}}
152
153 == Sending representations ==
154
155 Many resources are modifiable, so you can send representations in order to change the state of those resources (e.g., pages).
156 All modifiable resources accept XML representations that conform to the [[XML Schema Definition>>http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-rest/src/main/resources/xwiki.rest.model.xsd]]. However, some other representations might be accepted as well (see the following sections).
157
158 Resource update is usually done by using the PUT method, while resource creation is done via PUT or POST.
159
160 For example, in order to create a page you might do the following:
161
162 {{code language="xml"}}
163 $ curl -u Admin:admin -X PUT --data-binary "@newpage.xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/NewPage
164 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
165 <page xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org">
166 <link rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/space" href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main"/>
167 ...
168 <version>1.1</version>
169 <majorVersion>1</majorVersion>
170 <minorVersion>1</minorVersion>
171 <created>2009-03-21+01:00</created>
172 <creator>XWiki.Admin</creator>
173 <modified>2009-03-21+01:00</modified>
174 <modifier>XWiki.Admin</modifier>
175 <content>This is a new page</content>
176 </page>
177 {{/code}}
178
179 Where newpage.xml is an XML file containing
180
181 {{code language="xml"}}
182 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
183 <page xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org">
184 <title>Hello world</title>
185 <content>This is a new page</content>
186 </page>
187 {{/code}}
188
189 The page has been created and is accessible. Subsequent PUT requests to the page URI will modify its content.
190
191 == Overcoming browser limitations ==
192
193 As said before, it could be useful to send information by using browser's XmlHttpRequest objects. However, currently many browsers only support GET and POST methods, so it is impossible to send, for example, PUT requests. In order to overcome this limitation you can override the HTTP Method by specifying a ##method## parameter in the URI query string.
194
195 In the previous example, if you send a POST request to the ##[[http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/NewPage?method=PUT]]## it will be interpreted as if it were an actual PUT request.
196
197 This overriding mechanism allows the interaction with the XWiki RESTful API by using any kind of browser.
198
199 == PUT vs POST ==
200
201 In the following sections you will see that sometimes resources are created by using PUT and sometimes by using POST. The general principle is that if the client is responsible for choosing the resource URI then PUT is used. If it's the server that bears this responsibility, then POST is used.
202
203 To be clearer, when a client wants to create a page it knows **where** that page should go, so it is able to communicate the server the target URI. PUT is used.
204
205 A client, on the contrary, cannot know beforehand what will be the URI of a comment, since comment URIs contains the ID of the comment and this information is generated by the server. In this case the client will do a POST and the server, in response, will communicate the URI it generated for the newly created comment.
206
207 = XWiki RESTful API Documentation =
208
209 In this section you will find the documentation of the whole XWiki RESTful API.
210
211 **application/xml** representations refers to the XML Schema Definition at the following location: [[http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-rest/src/main/resources/xwiki.rest.model.xsd]]
212
213 Resource URIs are specified using [[URI templates>>http://bitworking.org/projects/URI-Templates/spec/draft-gregorio-uritemplate-03.txt]]. Bracketed elements are formal parameters and should be instantiated to actual values in order to retrieve the associated resource.
214
215 == Root resources ==
216
217 By defaut all the resources of the RESTful API are rooted at the following URI: ##http:~/~/server:port/xwiki/rest/## (depending on where your XWiki is running)
