Reference: RidgeStar-Rest API

Sites with the RidgeStar REST (Representational State Transfer) API (Application Programming Interface) active will be capable of interacting with remote Clients (other websites and/or programs at other Internet end-points), as follows:

The API

The API has been built to generally conform to commonly accepted standards associated with RESTful Servers. This is not to say that the API is 100% a REST implementation, but it has made efforts to adhere to the principles and concepts embodied by REST.

The API is built upon a few basic terms that should be clarified from the outset:

Resource

Identifies a logical set of information available from the API. In this context, a Resource might refer to a single database table, might be a subset or superset of one or more database tables, or might even be simple meta-data available to describe the available Resources.

Properties

Each Resource has one or more Properties that, in turn, have one or more values. Conceptually, when a Resource is the result of a data table, a Property is a data field within the data table and the Property's value is synonymous with the data field value.

Syntax
