5.1.18 API question

[vpl]

Hi,

I'm discovering in version 5.1.18 these new webserver API.

Fantastic ! exactly what I was looking for to integrate tiddlywiki as a kind of highly customizable and front-end ready system

In the list I see there is no way to get a list of tiddlers based on a filter. Am I wrong  ? Is it coming ?

Thanks a lot

Regards

Hi VPL

I'm discovering in version 5.1.18 these new webserver API.

Fantastic ! exactly what I was looking for to integrate tiddlywiki as a kind of highly customizable and front-end ready system

Indeed, you might expect that one could pass a “filter” querystring parameter to APIs like GET /recipes/default/tiddlers.json and we may add such support in the future.

However, there’s an interesting alternative approach which uses the new rendered single tiddler endpoint:

https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#Using%20the%20read-only%20single%20tiddler%20view

The idea is to create a system tiddler that renders the data that you want, and then to request that tiddler as required over HTTP(S).

For example, create a tiddler called $:/MyTiddlers and the following content:

<<jsontiddlers “[tag[HelloThere]]">>

Then request that tiddler via HTTP:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/%24%3A%2FMyTiddlers

Obviously, this technique requires you to pre-register all of the filters that you need in advance, but it gives you a lot of flexibility as to how the data is represented.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Thanks a lot

Hi Jeremy

Thanks a lot for your answer.

The second approach offer great flexibility at tiddlywiki side.

I'm going to test it.

Thanks very much
