Concept - IOM REST Web Services

Introduction

Intershop Order Management (IOM) uses Representational State Transfer (REST). The present concept gives some basic information about the IOM's REST service handling.

This concept is primarily intended for all developers implementing a project or working with the core product of IOM.

General

Authorization

IOM supports basic http authentication only. Please configure your clients to use this authentication method. A very simple method to send REST requests on the command line can be realized using wget. The example also shows, how to configure this client to use basic http authentication (--auth-no-challenge).

wget -q -O- --auth-no-challenge  --http-user=<user> --http-password='<password>' \
http://<hostname>/<REST URL>

Allowed HTTP Requests

The following requests show the general existing HTTP requests. Not all requests are required for each service.

  • POST- Creates or updates a resource

  • PUT- Updates a resource

  • GET- Retrieves a resource or list of resources

  • DELETE- Delete a resource

Typical Server Responses

  • 200 OK - The request was successful.

  • 201 Created - The request was successful and a resource was created.

  • 204 No Content - The request was successful but there is no representation to return (that is, the response is empty).

  • 400 Bad Request - The request could not be understood or was missing required parameters.

  • 401 Unauthorized - Authentication failed or user does not have permissions for the requested operation.

  • 403 Forbidden - Access denied.

  • 404 Not Found - Resource was not found.

  • 405 Method Not Allowed - Requested method is not supported for the specified resource.

  • 503 Service Unavailable - The service is temporary unavailable (e.g., due to scheduled platform maintenance). Try again later.

Response Examples

Response Envelope Example

All API responses will be returned by the following JSON envelope. Errors, and exceptions are only present if they occur:

200 OK

            "validUntil": "2014-12-19 11:25:00",
            "resvId": "sdfdk43ß445lksld0394",
            "items": [
