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 :) Le 24/07/2014 02:30, Tomas Cohen Arazi a écrit :
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.

Hi,

+1 to a versioned API. I don't think that I use it for anything at the moment, but I'm not 100% sure about all our apps. I think we might 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.
