Connect with OneHash via Rest APIs

REST API

OneHash generates REST API for all of your DocTypes out of the box and can be used to seemless integration with other systems.

Authentication

There are two ways to authenticate through REST API. Token based authentication and password based authentication.

1. Token Based Authentication

A token is a pair of API Key and API Secret. First, you must create an API User and then generate the keys in the API Access section in the User form.

The token is generated by concatenating api_key and api_secret with a colon : Pass the string token api_key:api_secret to the Authorization header in the request.

fetch ("http://<base-url>/api/resource/:doctype', {
headers: {
"Authorization" : ‘token api_key:api_secret'
}
})
.then(r => r.json())
.then(r => {
console. log (x) ;
})

2. Password Based Authentication

Password based authentication relies on cookies and session data to maintain authentication in subsequent requests. In most cases, the library you are using to issue REST calls will handle session data, but if it doesn't you should use Token based authentication.

fetch ('http://<base-url>/api/method/login', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Accept': ‘application/json',
'ContentType': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON. stringify({
usr: ‘username or email’,
pwd: 'password'
})
})
.then(r => r.json())
.then(r => {
console. log (x) ;

})

Listing Documents

To get a list of records of a DocType, send a GET request at /api/resource/:doctype. By
default, it will return 20 records and will only fetch the name of the records.

GET /api/resource/:doctype

Response

"data": [
{
"name": "b57566801a"
},
{
"name": "bé3b71d£37"
},
{
"name":"lfeadafora"
},
"name": "4cadccée0e"
},
]
}

You can specify which fields to fetch in the fields param. It should be a JSON array.

GET /api/resource/:doctype?fields=["field1", "field2"]

You can filter the records by passing filters param. Filters should be an array, where each
filter is of the format: [field, operator, value]

GET /api/resource/:doctype?filters=[["field1", "=", "value1"], ["field2",">", "value2"]]

You can also provide the sort field and order. It should be of the format fieldname asc or
fieldname desc. The space should be URL encoded.

GET /api/resource/:doctype?order_by=title%20desc

You can also page the results by providing the limit_start and limit_page_length params.

GET /api/resource/:doctype?limit_start=10&limit_page_length=20

CRUD Operations

OneHash generates REST endpoints for CRUD operations for all DocTypes automatically. Make
sure you set the following headers in your requests so that you get proper JSON responses.

{

"Accept": "application/json", 
"Content-Type": "application/json",
}
