Ali, Almost every doc about DSpace's REST API out there are wrong or outdated. The following one is right, but it is incomplete. I'm trying to find some time to fix it but i haven't managed to do it yet. However, some time ago i've wrote some basic Shell-Scripts to test the API's endpoints and to prepare myself to write the doc.
You can access the files here: https://github.com/BrunoNZ/dspace-rest-requests If you're using Ubuntu, shell-script might be familiar to you, and so it must be quite easy to use the scripts. First of all you have to edit the file "rest.cfg" with your dspace's url, user and password, or leave it how it is to use Dspace's demo site (http://demo.dspace.org/). Then, you get a token by executing: $ ./login And finally, execute: $ ./send_request.sh <TOKEN> <REQUEST_FILE> <REQUEST_TYPE : (XML or JSON)> The request's files are inside "requests" folder. Each file contains a sample form of each endpoind on XML and JSON. For instance, if you want to create a new community: ./send_request.sh "69bd9f3f-c78e-4319-bad3-793dea3bccbd" requests/POST_0_new-communities.sh json If you're using Ruby, we're developing a Ruby Gem to interact with Dspace's rest api. If you're interested, the code is here: https://gitlab.c3sl.ufpr.br/c3sl/dspace-rest-client I hope it helps you!! 2015-05-09 6:08 GMT-03:00 ali esmaeili <a.esmaeili....@gmail.com>: > hi. > i want to add community from REST API to dspace. > i have dspace 5.1 on ubuntu and install rest api properly on local host. > based on > https://jspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DSPACEAPI/POST_communities > > i should insert POST http://path/to/rest/communities.json and then > { > "communityId":"1" > "name":"A test community", > "shortDescription":"Community created with JSON" > } > > but when i insert them in termina,no response get. > please help me to post community truly.tnx > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud > Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications > Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights > Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. > http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y > _______________________________________________ > DSpace-tech mailing list > DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech > List Etiquette: > https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette -- Bruno Nocera Zanette +55 41 9992-2508 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech List Etiquette: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette
