FirstSpirit REST Service Alpha Builds

Stephan Windmüller
  • Updated

    The FirstSpirit REST Service is a web application providing a REST interface. Right now the module is in active development, giving access to several core functionalities. Crownpeak is asking customers to provide feedback on the existing endpoints and returned JSON data.

    Warning:
    • In its current state, the module should only be used for testing and development purposes.
    • This alpha release has not undergone security testing. Do not expose to public networks.
    • Do not use it on a production server.

     

    Installation

    1. Download the latest version (currently 0.0.16-beta) from the Artifactory.
    2. Place a file called fs-rest-service.properties in the lib directory of Tomcat (see Configuration).
    3. Install the module using ServerManager.
    4. A new web application /rest is created automatically. Select the correct web server and deploy the service.

     

    Configuration

    The file fs-rest-service.properties needs at least this configuration:

    fs.rest.host=localhost
fs.rest.port=1088
fs.rest.mode=SOCKET

    Change host name and port according to your local setup. The mode can be either SOCKET or HTTP.

    If the REST service is used as part of a web application, it may be required to configure the CORS origins:

    fs.rest.cors.allowedOriginPatterns=http://localhost:*

    Rate limiting can be configured as follows:

    fs.rest.rateLimit.enabled=true
fs.rest.rateLimit.requestsPerWindow=300
fs.rest.rateLimit.windowSeconds=60
fs.rest.rateLimit.warnThreshold=0.8

     

    Usage

    When the web application is deployed successfully, the base endpoint is available at /rest/v1/. The most simple query is /rest/v1/projects/.

    Please note that each request requires an Authorization header using Basic Auth.

    A list of all available endpoints is rendered using Swagger at /rest/swagger-ui/index.html.

     

    Feedback

    Do you have any questions about the usage? Does the result format not contain what you expected? Which endpoints do you miss?

    Please direct any feedback to the FirstSpirit Community.
