Xdrive Data Services JSON APIs
XDSP JSON API v1.2
The Xdrive Data Services Platform (XDSP) JSON v1.2 API extends JSON v1.1 Gateway.
The new features introduced in this version include:
- Expanded authentication via integration with:
- OpenAuth: member.login method where users can login directly in the API providing their AOL ®/AIM Screen Name or email address and password. Also, developers can use an OpenAuth token and their devIds to login already authenticated users.
- Cookie-less session support by returning in the response the jsessionid and recoveryToken values after a login call.
- Request Chaining, where multiple requests/commands can be chained together, allowing multiple method invocations using a single HTTP POST, implemented via multipart requests.
- Introduction of options that can be included in the request to change the behavior of the request/response independent of the method result.
- Expanded I/O features: true block level access and better transfer monitoring.
- Improved sharing features.
- Introduction of asset publishing features.
- Zipped File Transfers to save bandwidth and time.
The primary focus of this revision is on supporting different types of requests, where the information necessary to invoke methods can be provided using HTTP headers, JSON messages, Cookies, the URL, form data, multipart data, etc.
