Export API

[Nicholas Ng]

I tried to use the Export API, but when I try to GET or POST, it return me forbidden status, I guess It have to be authorized first only can export?

I'm using ROR technology.

Hi,

Yes you have to authenticate with something like digest auth in order to use the APIs.

Using curl this would looks something like this:

curl --digest -u "user:password" [url]

Can I pass extra params in the API in order to get authorized at once?

Hi Nicholas,

Not currently, though digest auth should be supported by most modern web tools.

Another option is to do an initial login programmatically and get the session id from the returned cookie.

From there, in curl, curl --cookie "sessionid=123123213213" https://server/some/url

Issue here is you then will need to manage the sessionID from here on out once logged in.
