The iRODS Consortium is pleased to announce the first release of the iRODS HTTP API.

https://github.com/irods/irods_client_http_api

It is released today as v0.1.0.

It is an experimental redesign of the iRODS C++ REST API originally released in 2021. The primary goal of the project is to make it easy and safe for developers to interact with an iRODS zone. This falls right in line with the goals outlined in the Consortium's roadmap for 2023.

https://irods.org/roadmap

Users of the iRODS C++ REST API will find the iRODS HTTP API simpler to work with and more equipped for building rich applications and managing complex workloads. It also has support for OpenID Connect.

A Docker image has also been published on Docker Hub for ease of deployment.

Hey,

I was just lookin into installing and testing ZMT. In the documentation there is still a reference to the old api, which is archived according to github. Can I use the new api with ZMT, or do i have to install the old one if I want to start using ZMT?

Regards,

Joris

Hi Joris,

Great question.   We have not yet ported/refactored the ZMT to use the new HTTP API.   It still requires the REST API at this time.

Of course, anyone who would like to help with that effort... you are more than welcome!
We expect it to be pretty straightforward... but have not tackled it for real yet.

Terrell
