controller_api¶
- Module: mod_base
controler_api
processes authorized REST API requests: It provides
an easy way to create API calls to allow computer programs to perform
functions on your Zotonic site.
controller_api
by default intercepts all URLs according to the
patterns /api/:module/:method
and the URL /api/:module
. See
the API services manual for more information.
Authentication¶
See Service authentication on how authentication is done when using this controller.
Creating services at a non-standard URL¶
New in version 0.8.
It is possible to pre-fill the required module and method
parameters so that you can use controller_api
at another entry
point. For instance, the following dispatch rule is valid:
{dosomething, ["do", "something"], controller_api, [{module, "foobar"}, {method, "test"}]}
This would invoke the mod_foobar/services/service_foobar_test.erl
service at the url /do/something,
