No. This is an action
@request.restful()
def api():
def GET(*args,**vars):
parsed = db.parse_as_rest('auto',args,vars)
if parsed.status==200: return dict(content=parsed.response)
raise HTTP(parsed.status,parsed.error)
return locals()
ix exposes the APIs so it goes in controller. If instead of 'auto' you
choose to define your own patterns, perhaps you should that in a
model:
APIPATTERNS=[
...
]
and then pass APIPATTERNS instead of 'auto'
