Muster RESTful HTTP API

The Muster RESTful API allows developer to query and interact with the Dispatcher service using HTTP requests parsed through the Muster builtin web server.

The API is available under the /api subfolder of the Web server and it's actually used by the Muster web server itself to provide its user interface.

http://{your.muster.webserver}:9790/api/

Any method call expects an input token required to identify the current user or device session. The /login method is required to authenticate an user and get back the token required for the subsequent API calls that requires an authentication.

In this guide all optional parameters are enclosed in square bracket. All other parameters are required.

All methods support json or xml formats for request/response data.

You can specify format parameters in QueryString or in a Content-Type request header:

QueryString sample:

  • $format=json | xml
  • format=json | xml

Request Header sample:

Content-Type: text/xml | application/json

Muster server analyse the format parameter in this sequence:

  • “$format” in querystring
  • if not provided, the server search “format” in querystring
  • if not provided, the server search “content-type” in request header
  • if not provided, the server sets “json” as default request/response format

All the methods return a ResponseStatus element that's required to check if a call has been successfully or to retrieve the error code and description.

The ResponseStatus object contains a code, a description and a response time:

MemberTypeMeaning
CodeNumberThe HTTP Response status code
TimeNumberA C time value in seconds
DescriptionStringA string describing the status response

The code inherits from the standard HTTP response codes:

CodeMeaningDescription
200No errorThe operation completed successfully
400Malformed requestThe request is malformed or you did not sent all the required fields in the request
403Unauthorised actionAn unauthorised action was denied. This may be returned also if you do not supply an authentication token or a wrong one
401Wrong username or passwordThe authentication attempt failed

For further information you can take a look the following RFC: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

Along with a ResponseStatus member, a typical response will also include a ResponseData member, This is a typical request to login on the web server with the authToken inside the ResponseData member:

http://musterserver:9790/api/login?username=admin&password=mypassword

This is a typical response reported back from the server after the authentication:

Any request may be required to provide data to the server in order to perform a particular action. Data must be encapsulated inside a RequestData JSON encoded POST. The following example changes the password of the user associated with the current authorization token:
