# Webservice REST These Web services allow you to do HTTP requests to the specified endpoints (VTE\_URL/restapi/v1/vtews/METHOD\_NAME). The requests need POST method, basic authentication (you must set ‘Authentication basic’ into the header which is calculated through a function based on username\* and password\*) and their relative parameters. Each one method will give a JSON response with a status and the data or in case of error an error code and its relative message. **Notes:** • The “id” parameter is always specified as ‘moduleid\* x recordid’ (ex: 2x313) \*: You can get the the moduleid from webservice ‘describe’ method (idPrefix) **Headers:** • Authorization: Basic base64\_encode("username\*:password\*") • Content-Type : application/json username\* (VTE) password\* (User preferences’ Webservice Access Key) Authorization Example: ‘Basic ZmVkZXJpY28ucGVybGluOjB5cm5MRjNhS2RhMDZ2c3E=‘ **Requirements for Apache2:** • Activate apache rewrite module • Set AllowOverride All into the virtualhost file to the vte path folder. Example: ``` Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews AllowOverride All Require all granted ``` **Requirements for Nginx + PHP FPM** As Nginx does not handle htaccess file, some special rewrites are needed in order to handle WS requests. Below an example of nginx conf file: ``` server { listen 80; root /var/www/vtenext/; autoindex off; index index.php index.html index.htm; # Make site accessible from http://localhost/ server_name localhost; location / { # First attempt to serve request as file, then # as directory, then fall back to index.html try_files $uri $uri/ index.html; } # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root # concurs with nginx's one location ~ /\.ht { deny all; } # special folder handling, since .htaccess files are not supported # REST API location /restapi/v1 { rewrite ^(.+)/vtews/(.*)$ /restapi/v1/index.php/vtews/$2; } # PORTAL location ~ /portal/v2/(?!public) { rewrite ^/portal/v2/(.*)$ /portal/v2/public/$1; } # STORAGE location /storage { deny all; location /storage/uploads_emails_ { allow all; } location /storage/images_uploaded/ { allow all; } location ~* /storage/logo/.+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ { allow all; } rewrite ^/storage/(.*)$ /getStorage.php?file=$1; } # PROTECTED FOLDERS location /logs { deny all; } location /plugins/dataimporter { deny all; } location /cache/sys { deny all; } location /cache/pdfmaker { deny all; } location /cache/import { deny all; } location /cache/session { deny all; } location /cache/pdf { deny all; } location /dataimport { deny all; } location /modules/VteSync/VteSyncLib/storage { deny all; } location /modules/Messages/src/attachment_tnef/plugins/attachment_tnef/class/ { deny all; } # SMARTOPTIMIZER # disabled by default, enable it if needed #location ~* \.(gif|jpe?g|png|swf|css|js|html?|xml|txt|ico)$ { # rewrite ^(.*)$ /smartoptimizer/?$1; #} # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000 location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; # With php cgi alone: #fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; # With php fpm: fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; } } ``` **Web Service Methods:**
