.. _hostserverapi: Hosting Service API =================== API Basics ---------- The TeamDrive Enterprise Server architecture provides an extensive application programming interface (API) that can be used to: * Script/automate processes that would otherwise require use of the web-based administration console * Obtain information about various entities and parameters (e.g. user names, licenses, storage). The API is based on XML Remote Procedure Calls (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML-RPC for a detailed description). Only HTTP POST-Requests will be accepted. Each request must include a checksum in the URL appended as a parameter. This checksum is created by calculating a MD5 checksum over the request body appended with a server-specific salt value. The checksum value must be provided in lower case characters, e.g. by passing it through the ``tolower()`` function of the respective programming language. On the TeamDrive Registration Server Administration Console, this salt value can be obtained from the ``APIChecksumSalt`` system setting (*"Edit Settings -> RegServer"*). On a TeamDrive Hosting Service, this value is stored in the configuration setting ``APISalt`` and must match the value of the Registration Server this Hosting Service has been associated with. Each request also needs to include a ```` which is the current timestamp converted to integer. The URL to access the TeamDrive Hosting Service API looks as follows: ``https:///pbas/p1_as/api/api.htm?checksum=`` Please replace ```` with the host name of the Host or Registration Server you want to connect to. ```` needs to be replaced with the checksum of the current API request. If you are accessing the API over a local network or a VPN, you can use plain HTTP. However, when sending the data over an insecure network, you must use HTTPS for security reasons. .. note:: API access is verified by the IP address the request originated from. On the Registration Server, check the setting ``API_IP_ACCESS`` (*"Edit Distributor Settings" -> "API" -> "API_IP_ACCESS"* via the Administration Console) and make sure that the external IP address of the system performing the API call is included in the list. On the Hosting Service, the IP address must be added to the configuration setting ``APIAccessList``. Example API Call ---------------- The following shell script example outlines how an API call is generated and how the required MD5 checksum is calculated. In this example ``curl`` is used to perform the actual API call. The result is printed to the console:: #!/bin/sh URL="http://hostserver.local/pbas/p1_as/api/api.htm" CHECKSUM="d3b07384d113edec49eaa6238ad5ff00" TIMESTAMP=`date "+%s"` REQUEST="\ 3.0.003\ getdepotdata\ $TIMESTAMP\ YourUserName\ " MD5=`echo -n "$REQUEST$CHECKSUM" | md5sum | cut -f1 -d" "` curl -d "$REQUEST" "$URL?checksum=$MD5" API Usage Recommendations ------------------------- On your side of the (web-) application, you must ensure that only successfully logged in users can view or change their own data. Users should never be allowed to view data from other TeamDrive Users. Only users associated with your distributor code can be managed with API calls coming from your IP. For users with a foreign distributor code you will receive a URL which must be displayed to the user so that they can login to the website of their distributor. Error Handling -------------- The following errors can occur due to misconfiguration or service failures, they may not return valid XML. Your application should handle these failures appropriately. Wrong Apache configuration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Request: ``http:///pbas/p1_as/api/service.html`` Answer:: 404 Not Found

Not Found

The requested URL /pbas/p1_as/api/service.html was not found on this server.

Error Processing Request

The following error occurred in \'SendCGIRequest("td2api")\' while processing your request: -12996 (-12946). Application errors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Application errors will return error messages in an XML format like this:: 3.0.003 ```` and ```` (optional) are integer values. ```` is a text. Error codes regarding the API will start at -30100 (see :ref:`errorcodes`). General errors with the PrimeBase Virtual Machine or database connection are in the range between 0 and -23000. Programming errors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If a program error occurs, the server will return an error similar to the following one:: Execution Error

It depends on whether you want to use your own Host Server or the TeamDrive Cloud Host Server. If you are using the TeamDrive Cloud Host Servers, you have to send a :ref:`gethostfordepot ` request to the TeamDrive Registration Server. The reply will return a Hosting Service-URL dependant on your distributor code. Send the :ref:`createdepot `\ -request to the returned URL or directly to your own Host Server, if you are using one. The reply will return a depot-document. Send this document, together with a list of usernames, to the TeamDrive Registration Server using the "sendinvitation" request as described above. .. _gethostfordepotRef: Requesting a Hosting Service-URL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. note:: In ```` send "EU", "US", or the IP-Address of the user.
