Purpose

Data upload (and download) can be done using various mechanisms : 

...

This document describes the data upload mechanism via the REST API method, where users can upload a PGP encrypted XML file.

Using the REST API

To test the API you may use a tool like Restlet, a plugin for Chrome browsers to test API calls before you deploy. The server responds with a HTTP code 200 in when succesfull, but may the response body may contain detailed error messages.

...

• Server name should be https://staging-dataupload.wmda.info
• For production you will need https://dataupload.wmda.info

SAMPLE Request

First test the connection by using the right path and fetching the metadata : it should result in a response 200 OK.

• Look carefully at the path : here we use ion0999, that should be replaced by your ION.
• You may notice that we add the filename to the path: depending on the library you may need to add that

Upload

Now we know the path is correct and we can do an upload using cURL: 

...

curl -i -X PUT -H "Authorization:Basic d21.....uZT=="   -T "./test.pgp"  'https://staging-dataupload.wmda.info/api/v2/io/ION0999/'

You may use the API also to fetch your reports : Use the following endpoint to fetch an array with filedescriptors:

https://staging-dataupload.wmda.info/api/v2/fs/reports-ion0999/?children=f
