HTTP GET
The ACI API allows custom-built applications to access OpenText ACI servers using the following HTTP action syntax:
http://host:port/action=action¶meters
where,
host
|
is the IP address (or name) of the machine on which the OpenText ACI server is running. |
port
|
is the port number that is used to send actions to the OpenText ACI server. |
action
|
is the action that you want the OpenText ACI server to run. |
parameters
|
are the required and optional parameters for the action. |
Example:
Consider the following example:
http://localhost:4000/action=query&text=dinosaurs&maxresults=1
This action sends the query text dinosaur
to an OpenText ACI server (in this case IDOL server), which in response returns an XML result, for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <autnresponse> <action>QUERY</action> <response>SUCCESS</response> <responsedata> <autn:numhits>1</autn:numhits> <autn:hit> <autn:reference> http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?z16358245&z=28 </autn:reference> <autn:id>101927</autn:id> <autn:section>0</autn:section> <autn:weight>97</autn:weight> <autn:links>DINOSAUR</autn:links> <autn:database>0</autn:database> <autn:title>Studying dinosaurs</autn:title> </autn:hit> </responsedata> </autnresponse>
