I was thinking about how to transmit user credentials from the
third-party application to Koha.
Something using private/public keys like Amazon AWS seems the way to go.

Awesome. Thanks, Julian!
As for authentication, I think adding a call to C4::Auth:: check_api_auth()
in rest.pl should probably do the trick.

Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] RFC: /svc/ API
We at BibLibre wrote koha-restful as a third-party application to be able
to
extend it quickly.
Now that things are more stable (the last commit was written a month ago),
I
would be happy to submit a patch to integrate koha-restful into Koha.
But IMO it lacks a decent identification/authentication system before it
could
be integrated. So if someone is interested to work on that, he is welcome
:)

We should do as we usually do: set a new context for URIs (/rest/ ?)
and implement a RESTfull API there, following all the standards, and
versioned from the beggining.
We could use CGI::Application::Dispatch, merge koha-restfull and work
on top of that (it should be discussed whether we agree on the current
API or not), or even do it with a framework, like Dancer [1].
And then have a clear deprecation path for the old API.
Would be happy to work on that if more people were interested.

Ah, right you are, Galen. It does use a socket. Yeah, that should be
trivial to update connexion_import_daemon.pl.
None of our folks use OCLC, but that's good to know.
Going back to my earlier email, MarcEdit would probably benefit from
a richer Koha API as well.

+1 to a versioned API. I don't think that I use it for anything at

have a third-party one that uses it.
Also +1 to a versioned API.
This script should probably also use PUT, but I have no idea if OCLC
Connexion supports that.
I don't believe it matters as far as Connexion is concerned, as it
only talks to connexion_import_daemon.pl via a raw socket.
Since there are an indeterminate number of third-party software
systems using the existing API, I'd recommend versioning and using
v2 to handle things more RESTfully.
MarcEdit is one program I know that uses the current API to inject
records into a Koha database.

Galen
