General search

The search facility is available from the following URL:

  http://www.myexperiment.org/search.xml?query=bioaid 

Particular types can be specified by the type query option:

  http://www.myexperiment.org/search.xml?query=bioaid&type=workflow 

Element selection

The elements within each REST response can be tailored to include only the parts of the response of interest. This saves bandwidth and response time!

  http://www.myexperiment.org/workflow.xml?id=20&elements=title,description 

All elements can be returned too.

  http://www.myexperiment.org/workflow.xml?id=20&all_elements=yes 

Versions

For objects that have versions (e.g. Workflows), you may specify the specific version to be worked on by including version in the URI query. For example:

  http://www.myexperiment.org/workflow.xml?id=20&version=1 

Sorting

Index and search requests can be sorted. By default, these results are sorted by ascending creation order but sorting by creation time (created), update time (updated), title (title) and name (name) is also possible. In addition, the results can be returned in reverse order.

  http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows.xml?sort=title 

  http://www.myexperiment.org/files.xml?sort=title&order=reverse 

Pagination

For the index requests, a default maximum of 25 results is shown. This can be raised to 100 by using adding num to the query. A particular page of results can be selected by adding page to the query.

  http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows.xml?num=50&page=2 

Index filtered by tag

For indices of taggable items, the index can be filtered on a particular tag.

  http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows.xml?tag=bioaid 

API version

The version of the REST API that the server uses can be requested by including api_version in the query.

  http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows.xml?api_version=yes 

Error responses

The general format of an error response from the REST API is an XML document with an error element. The code attribute contains a number that determines the class of error. The message attribute of the error element contains a human readable message describing the error.

Example error response

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<error message="Resource not found" code="404"/>
