REST APIs published

Feedback - May 13th, 2008 - Written by Jukka Eklund

Some of the new things available in Mobile Web Server 1.3 beta is a set of RESTful APIs. These APIs provide a direct access to some of the device resources, for example to be used from other web services.

Our first APIs have the following features:
- get Presence information from the device such as calendar availability, time and current profile
- send “free text messages” into the phone inbox

The APIs are documented in our wiki. Go start playing, and of course don’t forget to submit your results in MWS Challenge there is still time!

    Have just installed MWS 1.3 and tested REST API.

    /rest/presence links work great
    /rest/inbox/message does not appear

    Any ideas? Wrong URL in Wiki?

    Any help much appreciated!

    hi,
    is it possible to switch off the integrated mobile site authentication and authorization scheme in these Rest APIs?

    best regards,
    Askin

    @Mark: are you absolutely sure you have correct POST request. It will fail with 404 error if you have incorrect request or authentication is not accepted (you didn’t submit credentials or they were incorrect).

    @_Askin_: No it’s not possible, but you can of course open up Messaging and Presence applications for ‘anonymous’ user ie. everyone. Also then disable filtering on MWS S60 application.

    Hope this helps, development issues might be better to handle at Forum Nokia, there are other experts online too: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=129
