Programmer : Mashup Programmer : Using the Mashup API : Using the HTTP Mashup API
 
Using the HTTP Mashup API
The Mashup API can also be queried directly through HTTP GET at the following URL:

http://<HOSTNAME>:<BASEPORT+10>/access/feeds/<page name>
Page parameters can be given just as normal HTTP parameters. Subfeed parameters have to be prefixed by the subfeed id.
The following pages and subfeeds are available:
• page: search (parameters: q)
◦ subfeed: bi (id: bi, parameters: page, per_page, etc.)
• page: details (parameters: id)
◦ subfeed: bi (id: bi, parameters: page, per_page, etc.)
◦ subfeed: flickr (id: flickr, parameters: tag, latitude, longitude, etc.)
Note: To output a JSON string instead of the default XML output format, add &outputFormat=json at the end of you query.
A few sample requests are:
• http://<HOSTNAME>:<BASEPORT+10>/access/feeds/<page name>/?q=disney
• Page parameter and pagination:
http://<HOSTNAME>:<BASEPORT+10>/access/feeds/<page name>/?q=disney&bi.page=2 http://<HOSTNAME>:<BASEPORT+10>/access/feeds/<page name>/?detailsid=42
• Page parameter and image tags:
http://<HOSTNAME>:<BASEPORT+10>/access/feeds/<page name>/detailsid=42&flickr.tag=disney
Note: Adding a <class name> parameter after <page name> allows you to target more specific information, and thus avoid adding query restriction parameters.
For details of the output, see Using the Atom Output Format.
