Resources:
The WMS Collection Management Service API allows access to the following resource:
All of the actions that can be performed are done so by interacting with a RESTful collection URL. The specific URL to use will depend on the customer and installation being used. The action to be performed will be determined by the HTTP Method verb that is used - GET, POST, PUT or DELETE - and the URL that the request is sent to. Responses will be sent in a combination of the HTTP Response body - for rich data - and in the HTTP Headers - where applicable. Status information for the request will always be sent in the HTTP Status code using the standard HTTP Status code definitions.
Interaction with these resources can be mapped to the following HTTP methods:
| http method | api action |
|---|---|
| GET | Read a collection or an item |
| POST | Create an item |
| PUT | Update an item |
| DELETE | Delete an item |
Please note: All requests to the API require that the principalID and principalIDNS parameters be included with the URI. ex:
?principalID=660ecd7d-3d1b-4433-abcd-ae843b716ec0&principalIDNS=urn:oclc:wms:da
