There is very little documentation on useful HTTP API calls; so, I have decided to start documenting some of it here to save some people some time.

Not all Tonido API calls are useful to the average developer, and since PHP is also available, sometimes it is not advantageousness to call the Tonido API for what can easily be done in PHP.

Some documentation is already available via the Tonido Developers site. I only plan on documenting what isn't already covered elsewhere, and only what I personally have felt it worthwhile to look into. Other people can feel free to add what they discover as well.

General:
The API usually returns an xml structure containing return data. This layout may vary from command to command, but this is generally what I have found.


Download File:

• Inputs:
  
  • filepath: path (including file name) to target file to download
  • filename: target file to download
• Outputs:
  
  • type: downloadfile
  • result: 1 for success and 0 for fail (this doesn't really need to be checked because the file will download and you will see it, or it won't)

Upload File:

• Inputs:
  
  • path: Path to upload to
  • expandzip: is for expanding uploaded zip files: 1 = expand, 0 = no expand
• Outputs:
  
  • Success or failure message

Zip Files in a Folder:


***Note: files will be zipped with the following name Tonido_Zip_<zip job id>.zip***

• Inputs (startzip):
  
  • path: Path to folder containing contents to zip
  • time: epoch time in seconds
• Outputs (startzip):
  
  • type: startzip
  • result: 1 for success and 0 for fail
  • message: id for zip job

• Inputs (zipstatus):
  
  • id: id for zip job returned by startzip
  • time: epoch time in seconds
• Outputs (zipstatus):
  
  • type: zipstatus
  • result: 1 for finished and 0 for still zipping
  • message: current files that were zipped (files are separated with the following delimiter: nline_)

Download Folder:


***Note: See Zipping Files in Folder to view inputs and outputs for startzip and zipstatus***

• Inputs (downloadaszip):
  
  • id: zip job id returned from startzip
• Outputs (startzip):
  
  • Todo: (doesn't really need to be checked. Download will start or it won't)

Good start. Also a lot of our XML from the API follows some rules like this.

Thanks madhan. I will update the opening post with the info you provided.
