Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] REST API with Libro by Conversight

[Bill Erickson]

Mike, I just rechecked some earlier conversations and confirmed they are
using JSON.  I don't know if they are using the IDL as a stone tablet or a
living document, though.

Hi Mike,

I can't say for sure what they're doing.  (I asked if they'd open source
it, no dice there).  I showed them some code that was using the JSON output
and talked about the IDL.  I looked at the XML output too, but unless I'm
missing something, it seemed like you still needed to use the IDL to
explain the array positions -- I didn't see a way to generate field names.
Maybe that's just the RPC gateway?

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] REST API with Libro by Conversight

[Mike Rylander]

Hi Bill,

Do you know if they're using the xml output format to avoid having to learn
about the IDL mapping?  I'm mostly curious about external use of various
OpenSRF entry points, and where any effort might be best spent.

Regards,

Mike Rylander

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] REST API with Libro by Conversight

[Bill Erickson]

Hi Lynn,

We've done some work with Conversight at KCLS.  In our case, they are using
standard Evergreen APIs via the osrf-gateway-v1 and a Supercat feed for
MARC records.  This should not require any local changes.

We did create one small API tweak to support a certain work flow for them
(including lost items in a certain patron items out call) that I'd be happy
to share.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] REST API with Libro by Conversight

[Floyd, Angelia Lynn]

We have had several conversations with Conversight about Libro, and adding it 
for several different libraries.  They prefer to us the REST API for access, 
does anyone have Evergreen set up this way?  That may be able to  help me.

Thanks.
