API Requirements

Getting Started

The easiest way to start learning about this interface is to try it out. This section shows how to use the curl command line tool to execute sample queries.

Code Block
titleSample JSON Request
	curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" https://iet-ws-test.ucdavis.edu/api/iam/people/ids/search?externalId=1234567890&key=myKey&v=1.0

The response to all of the above requests have a Content-Type of text/javascript.  An example response for the the following the above request is shown below:

Code Block
langxml
titleSample JSON Response

{
  "responseData" : {
    "results" : [
{
 "iamId": "1234567890",
 "mothraId": "12345678",
 "ppsId" : "123456789",
"employeeId": "123456789",
"studentId": "123456789",
"bannerPIdM": "1234567",
"externalId": null,
"employeeId": "12345678901"
"ucnetId":"1234567"
},
{ ...<More results>.... }
 ],
  "responseDetails" : null,
  "responseStatus" : 0
}

JSON Reference

Unlike the core JavaScript interface, the JSON interface is exposed through a uniform URL that contains CGI arguments. Your application can use an HTTP stack of its choosing. In order to use the JSON interface:

  • You must construct a properly formatted URL with all necessary CGI arguments.
  • You must send an HTTP referer header that accurately identifies your application.
    • You must process the JSON-encoded response.

    Request Format

    URL Base Addresses

    The following URL patterns are supported by the IAM Identity Store Core People API:

    URL Arguments

    This section describes the arguments that can be used for search requests.

    The value of a CGI argument must always be properly escaped. This can be done via the functional equivalent of JavaScript's encodeURIComponent() method.

    Required URL Arguments

    The following table lists the required URL arguments.

    Argument

    Example

    Description

    key

    key=your-key

    This argument supplies the application's key. You can sign up for an API key <INSERT LINK HERE>.
    It must be a valid key associated with your application. The key is required for this API to implement quality of service rules for this API. If your application is making too many requests it will be throttled to ensure resources are not overloaded during times of peak usage. Also, by supplying a key we can identify and contact you should something go wrong with your application.

    v

    v=1.0

    This argument supplies protocol version number. The only valid value at this point in time is 1.0.

    Supported URL arguments

    The following table lists the supported URL arguments for each supported URL pattern.

    At least one argument should be provided to perform a search. If multiple search criteria are provided an 'AND' search will be performed to match on all arguments.

    Guaranteed Fields

    The results array always contains the parameters listed in this section, even if the value is empty.

    Property

    Description

     

    iamId

    mothraId

    Legacy unique ID from mothra system.

    ppsId

    PPS employee ID

    studentId

    Banner student ID

    bannerPIdM

    Banner alternative ID for faculty/instructors and students

    externalId

    Unique ID from external systems

    employeeIdUnique  8-11 digit Employee Id – currently PPS employee ID will become UCPath employee ID.
    ucnetIdUnique Id provided by UCOP for each employee, used for LMS access.

    results[]


    results[] contains an array of bulk load result objects, one for each result. Each time the API executes, this property is cleared, and each time a API completes, the array is populated. If there are no results to report, the .length property of this array will be set to 0. Therefore, results will never be null, and you can always safely check for results.length == 0.

    The responseStatus property contains a value of 0 on success and a custom error status code on failure. If there is a failure, responseDetails contains a diagnostic string.
