: Getting Started Overview offers easy access to the data in the Technopedia catalog. The API exists on top of Technopedia in BDNA’s cloud infrastructure, and is easy accessible via http. This document assumes the end user is familiar with web services and API methodologies. New data in Technopedia is updated nightly and made available via the API shortly after the update. Details Technopedia Architecture is based on REST-ful web service architecture. Each table in the Technopedia catalog has a unique endpoint (see Table 1 below). Additional endpoints have also been created that provide the software and hardware information in a flattened structure. Response Formats Each endpoint provides data in 4 response formats: JSON XML YAML JSONP The default response format is JSON. The response format is defined in the request, as detailed below. Authentication Authentication to is based on a username and API key. The username and API key must be passed as an HTTP Authorization header. The authorization header must be formatted as follows: Authorization: apikey : Example query: curl -H ’Authorization: apikey foo:19765acd5546655c1a2888’ ’https://api.technopedia.com/api/v1/manufacturer/?format=json’ Delta Update Each endpoint has a parameter last_download_date”. The value for this parameter must be in the format YYYY -MM-DD. This parameter causes the endpoint to return the delta (new/modified) data since that date. Example query: ’https://api.technopedia.com/api/v1/manufacturer/?last_download_date=2013-12-01’ The above query would return all manufacturers added or modified since 2013-12-01. Pagination makes it easy for users to paginate objects using limit and offset. The default pagination values are limit=20 and offset=0. Example query: this will return 50 objects at a time ’https://api.technopedia.com/api/v1/manufacturer/?limit=50&offset=0&format=json’ Endpoints A complete list of all current endpoints is available at https://api.technopedia.com/api/v1/?format=json . Table 1 below includes the endpoints as of the writing of this document Endpoint Schema Each endpoint’s schema can be viewed by typing schema” after the endpoint URL. See example- https://api.technopedia.com/api/v1/manufacturer/schema/?format=json . This will provide the full schema as well as the filtering meta-data. Performance For best API performance, we recommend the pagination limit to be below 500. Default settings The following are the default settings that apply to all endpoints.
