[DEV] phpBB API

phpBB API

Description:
That MOD will provide to your board a RESTfull API able to communicate in many format: JSON, XML, HTML. Five output formats are available: serialized, xml, json, HTML and raw.
Two type of key are available:

User key:

• can be created from their User Control Panel (with ACP default configuration!)
• can be set to "read only" mode
• with or without authentication
• allow an administrator's choosen file download upon succesfull authentication

Administrator keys:

• API users Features
• cache purging*
• deleting* users, threads, messages; baning* users
• style managing*
• other functionalities planed 8)
• requesting for DB's datas**
  • 
    (Possibility to exclude API table from DB management fro security reasons evenr with left/right join)

*Thus being a "read/write" access

**Repeat after me:

I'll be very carefully during key's creation with database access. I'm aware that keys should be created only for remote managing, by human or program (bot). I also know well that database's access with advanced permissions can endanger API table.

API will be managed through unique key, thus allowing a better management:

• you can put limitation to requests' count, on day, week or month basis
• you can force key expiration
• you can limit access to one IP address or set of IP addresses

This MOD let your board being accessible for developpers, like executing C/C++ programs for authentication, or using cURL/f(sock)open, and more.
A full knowledge base coupled with a FAQ is included with the MOD. Please read it carefully before posting

Hi,

The API seems to be exactly what I'm looking for! However, I'm not able to install it on a fresh install (not an update) of 3.1 RC3.
First of all the whole directory /includes/db was missing, and and db_tools.php could not be found. I copied it.

Then I got the following error which I was unable to solve:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method phpbb\template\twig\twig::set_custom_template() in /home/bas/development/codefined.com/phpbb/phpBB3/umil/umil_frontend.php on line 71

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Bas

From what you have posted it looks as if you are trying to install a 3.0.x mod onto a 3.1 board - there is no way that it will work. You need to have the extension and it looks to me as if it may have been abandoned.

I don't understand what this is offering

a RESTfull API able to communicate in many format: JSON, XML, HTML?

can you give an example of how it would be useful? the screenshots would normally give a clue but this must be the exception to the rule

If you don't know what it means you don't need it.

Geolim, do you plan to extend this Ext so much that it will be possible to use it to create an AngularJS frontend with all features for phpbb?
