No, there is no API exisiting (not yet at least).

Create an API would not be very complicated.
Some Web Services could do the job and save() method of all classes will generate controls and persistence instructions.

But the real "hard trick" is securing this API.
It should not be wide open so that anybody calling the API could damage any data.

Hi and thank you for your reply.

The security is not a major problem for now in my context. And, using a similar system of session is maybe enough for the tasks I would like to do through the API.
I had a quick look to the code and saw the save() method.
So I have a question about the API : IYO, how do you see the API like ?
This is how I see it:
Because it is PHP, so a good thing would be to create a dedicated PHP server page POSTing (or GETing for the example) some data.
example : https://my.projeqtor.project/api.php?account=my_account&password=my_password&item=activity&action=create&parent_id=id&name=my_coding_activity&description=some_text&[...]
So, I think it can be easy this way.
Then, the second part is data retrieval. I have thought about using SQL views to prevent any change in DB but it requieres some MySQL driver. I would prefer something more flexible.

What do you think ?

regards.

Hi,

I would be in favor of Web Service in REST mode.
It would look like what you describe, but with parameters in Post in XML or JSON format.
It is important that login account and password are not in the url, because url is always in clear text ,even in https transaction.

The data retieval does not need views or alse : as it is always on server side, there is no constraint.
But what is important is that Web Service MUST control that user has the rights corresponding to his request (never trust the request).

It could be : https://my.projeqtor.project/webservice.php
The good practice is to use http method to match service mtehod : for instance GET to retrieve data, POST to create/update data.

It is very likely that V4.1 will bring first version of API.

(just with GET method at first)

Hello all !

New to Proteqtor and enjoying the learning - excellent functionalities and the documentation is perfectly detailed, Bravo! 🙂

We will be using it in combination with our Tiki and Drupal installation on shared LAMP.
We will be using REST API to communicate between the different installations; easier without any PHP coding.

As we are going through the different posts here, we wanted to know if the functionalities (READ/WRITE using REST API) can be implemented now (we are in v4.2.3) ?

If so please share the topic numbers here, so we can prepare a nice HowTo (happy to share with you).

Thanks in advance for all your help & advice! 🙂

Read API to read data from ProjeQtOr exists in V4.2.
You'll find documentation in the online manual.

Write API is planned in V4.4.
