ED REST API Operations Reference

This document lists all Middleware REST API operations and describes how to perform them in terms of required and optional inputs and expected outputs. All operations follow a few simple rules:

Most requests require client authentication (HTTP Bearer, client TLS, or HTTP Basic)
The content type of all responses is application/json
Use the appropriate content type for requests that contain entity bodies
1. Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded for POST
2. Content-Type: application/json-patch+json for PATCH
Query result sort order varies by operation but strives for "natural sort order"
20x status on success
40x status on client errors (aka "Your Bad")
50x status on server errors (aka "Our Bad")

Please see the ED REST API Reference for high-level topics such as conventions, authentication, and available resources.

Operations on Resources

Resources can be created, retrieved, updated, and deleted by varying the HTTP method used in an HTTP request:

GET - fetch a resource by ID or query for multiple resources (see subsequent section)
POST - create a new resource
PATCH - update a resource with merge semantics
DELETE - delete a resource

A GET request to the resource collection URI with query parameters is used for a bulk query while a GET to the resource URI is used to fetch a single resource. The following code sample demonstrates the distinction:

# Get a list of Chemistry groups using a "starts with" query and sort results by uugid field
curl $BASE_URL/v1/groups?uugid=chemistry.*&sort=uugid -H"Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
# Get the PID account for user hizzy
curl $BASE_URL/v1/accounts/hizzy/pid -H"Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Response Codes

Code	Description
200	Successful request that contains a response body. Typical result for fetch and query operations.
201	Successful request that created a new resource. Typical result for POST operations.
204	Successful request that does not contain any content. Typical result for DELETE operations.
400	Client provided invalid data or data that violates a policy.
401	Invalid credentials.
403	Client does not have permission to perform requested operation.
404	The requested resource could not be found.
409	The requested resource already exists.
429	Exceeded some predefined limit; e.g. number of requests, value on a resource.

Querying for Resources

Querystring parameters are used for selecting and limiting bulk query results; these are particular to each type of resource and are discussed in detail for each operation on a resouce. Query parameters are canonically lowercase in keeping with REST API usage guideline #2. As a general rule, the fields that would be expected to be used for searching are supported for searching; for example, selecting groups by manager role or selecting persons by department/organizational unit.

Multiple fields may specified for selecting and filtering bulk queries, and they are combined into a single logicial filter expression as follows:

Distinct fields are combined with an AND expression unless otherwise noted (e.g. group roles)
Repeat occurrences of the same field are combined with an OR expression

An example should clarify the behavior. Suppose a client wishes to search for all groups that start with either chemistry.nmr or chemistry.chromatography and are managed or administered by user bob. A GET request to the following URL would produce the desired set of groups:

curl $BASE_URL/v1/group?uugid=chemistry.nmr*&uugid=chemistry.chromatography*&manager=bob&administrator=bob \
  -H"Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

It’s important to note that group roles have OR semantics, so the distinct manager and administrator fields combine as needed to query for groups in which bob is in either role.

Query Result Pagination

Most query-type endpoints support fetching results in batches of arbitrary size. There are two parameters to control the page and number of results returned: page and size. Pagination parameters are optional, but at least size must be provided when using this facility. Sorting is also supported when using pagination.

Table 1. Request Parameters
Path	Type	Optional	Description
page	Integer	true	Page you want to retrieve. Must be greater than 0. Defaults to 1 if not provided.
size	Integer	false	Size of the page you want to retrieve. Must be greater than 0.
sort	String	true	How the results should be sorted. Multiple `sort` parameters can be provided if the results should be sorted on multiple properties. By default, results are sorted by `id` in ascending order. Example sort options: `sort=firstname,asc&sort=lastname,desc`.

Creating a New Resource

The POST method MUST be used for resource creation by making a request to the resource collection URI. All parameters used to create a new resource are provided via application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The following example demonstrates resource creation:

# Create group chemistry.chromatographers, which requires both an administrator and contact
payload = {
  'uugid': 'chemistry.chromatographers',
  'contact': 'connie',
  'administrator': 'albert'
}
headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'

# Response contains empty body and resource URI in Location header
response = requests.post(base_url + '/v1/groups', headers=headers, data=payload)
resource_uri = response.headers['Location']

When a resource is created, a 201 Created response is returned with the newly-created resource URI in the Location response header. A separate request to that URI should be made to fetch the new entity.

Error Handling

In the case of an error response, an error document is provided in the response body that provides details on the error(s) that caused the operation to fail. The following code snippets provide examples of single and multiple error cases.

Single Error Example

{
  "code": 400,
  "type": "PidStateException",
  "message": "PID must be in the 'To Be Released' state before it can be removed"
}

Multiple Error Example

{
  "code": 400,
  "type": "MultiErrorException",
  "message": "BannerPIDM(12345)::Incomplete person update due to errors.",
  "details": [
    {
      "label": "Address(BannerAddressType(PR):BannerPhoneType(PR))",
      "message": "Invalid syntax for phone number: 95551939440.  Phone numbers must contain only digits and be exactly 10 digits long.",
      "type": "AddressInputException"
    },
    {
      "label": "Address(BannerAddressType(MA))",
      "message": "Invalid syntax for mailStop: abcd.  Mail stops must contain only digits and be exactly 4 digits long.",
      "type": "AddressInputException"
    }
  ]
}

The items in the details collection may be objects or strings. In the case of an object, both message and type fields are always present; label is optional.

Date Handling

Date fields are represented as ISO 8601 date strings of the format yyyy-MM-dd’T’hh:mm:ssX, where X is the offset in +/-hh:mm syntax. Dates are always reported in the America/New_York time zone where the main Virginia Tech campus resides, which allows clients to ignore the time zone when they are in the same locale and thereby simplify date handling. Some examples of dates provided by GET operations:

2016-11-30T07:30:01-05:00 (07:30:01AM November 30, 2016 EST)
2017-01-01T00:01:20-05:00 (12:01:20AM January 1, 2017 EST)
2017-05-05T17:45:15-04:00 (5:45:15PM May 5, 2017 EDT)

Clients SHOULD provide dates with a time zone when setting dates; if the time zone is omitted, then the America/New_York time zone is assumed. All of the following may be used to indicate the date 12:30:00PM January 1, 2017 EST:

2017-01-01T12:30:00
2017-01-01T12:30:00-05:00
2017-01-01T07:30:00Z

Clients MAY provide dates as an integer for convenience, which will be treated as a Unix timestamp measured in seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Note that this may produce unexpected results as the time will be converted by the system to America/New_York time, resulting in times that are off by 4 or 5 hours unless care is taken to accommodate for time zones on the client system. In many cases, however, such rough accuracy is acceptable when handling expiration dates and similar data elements in the Enterprise Directory.

Known Breaking Changes

The following section describes API changes from ED 4.x to ED 5.x. If we deemed the API to be interface compatible, the version number is unchanged; otherwise the version number incremented accordingly. The mailbox and account APIs changed dramatically as a consequence of need to evolve the data model, and these have been incremented to /v2.

General API Behavior Changes

Deletion: DELETE operations now return a 204 instead of a 200. This provides a clear signal that there is no content in the body to read.
Pagination: The parameters start and stop are no longer supported. All clients should use page and size instead. The meaning of the parameters is also different. In ED4 start:stop meant: fetch rows from index[start] to index[stop]. In this version of ED page:size means: fetch a page with -size- number of results:
- Page=1 : Size=20 → fetch the first 20 results (1-20)
- Page=2 : Size=20 → fetch the next 20 results (21-40)

Type Codes

Type codes have changed throughout the API to increase readability. The following table provides a mapping from the ED4 value to that of ED5.

Account Resource API

Version is now v2.
The URI for managing account token credentials is now /v2/accounts/tokens; it was formerly /v1/tokens.

Mailbox Resource API

Version is now v2.
Mailbox fetch and query JSON structures have changed:
- passwordChangeDate and passwordState fields have been removed because mailboxes no longer have passwords.
- nextStateChangeDate is deprecated. An approximation of the ED4 calculation is used.
- routeType which was undefined in ED4 is now RouteType.NONE. The JSON for this field is now "None" rather than null.
Mailbox delete will throw a 404 when attempting to remove an alias that does not exist on the given mailbox.

Password Complexity API

Password rules are now returned in an array, even when type is specified.

Guest Resource API

There is no longer a dedicated endpoint for managing guests. All guest operations have been assumed by either the person API (managing demographic data) and the account API (credential creation/management). See the Invite Guest section above for the new API for sending invites to create guest accounts.
