u-Platform Knowledge Base : API

General details

API is implemented over HTTPs as a service. Some methods are implemented as GET requests, others are implemented as POST requests.

Generally, any method that modifies data and/or receives important data (like login/password) is expecting POST (or combined) data.

To provide maximum security only HTTPS is supported for u-Slicer API methods.

API URL is https://uslicer.iponweb.com .

Login method:

https://uauth.iponweb.com/oauth2/token/

 

Currently u-Slicer supports APIv2 version:

u-Slicer APIv2

Data format

API methods accept and return serialized data in JSON.

  • JSON:
        is obtained by providing appropriate value in HTTP header, Accept/Content-Type: application/json

 In every API request you can specify the Accept header and API will return output in the format descibed in Accept (different than Content-Type), while still accepting input parameters in Content-Type.

An error response is identified as 400 Bad Request.

To get data back from API one needs to use a parser to de-serialize a response.
Good parsers for the above formats exist for various development environments.
