Examples of REST API

[alaninmcr]

Hello everybody,

I was wondering if there are any examples of use of the REST API
available. I cannot see how to get the authentication working.

Thanks,

Alan

It's OK everybody I figured it out (with Donal Fellows's help).

In case anyone else gets stuck:

You need to POST to your_site/rest/accesstoken with the Content-Type set
to application/json. In the body have a JSON document with the email
(user account) and password, such as:

{
'email' : 'Administrator',
'password' : 'AdminPassword'
}

This then returns a JSON document which includes

{
...
"sessionId": "SessionId",
...
}

You take the sessionId and use it as the X-ICE-Authentication-SessionId
header in subsequent calls.
