Home Library REST interface supports the following operations:
- Create Folder: to create a folder in the given parent path;
- List: to list the content of a folder;
- Upload file: to upload a file in a folder;
- Remove files and folders: to remove a file or a folder (including subfolders).
Use cases
Users can:
- use the browser to call API Methods
- implement a Client in different languages

Architecture
API
Get started
Home Library REST is available from gCube 4.1.
Create Folder
To create a new folder:
HL_webapp/rest/CreateFolder?name=$name&description=$desc&parentPath=$path
Where:
- name: the name of the new folder.
- description: the description for the new folder.
- parentPath: the position where you want to save the folder.
Example:
HL_webapp/rest/CreateFolder?name=myFolder&description=myDescription&parentPath=/Home/valentina.marioli/Workspace/MyDocs/
List the content of a folder
To list the content of a folder:
HL_webapp/rest/ListFolder?absPath=$path
Where:
- absPath: the absolute path of the folder to list.
Example:
HL_webapp/rest/ListFolder?absPath=/Home/valentina.marioli/Workspace/MySpecialFolders/gcube-devNext-NextNext/
Upload File
To upload a file, if it does not already exist:
HL_webapp/rest/Upload?name=$name&description=$description&parentPath=$path
Where:
- name: the file to upload
- description: a description for the file
- parentPath: the position where you want to save the file.
If you want to skip mimetype and size detect steps because you already know them, you can pass them as parameter:
HL_webapp/rest/Upload?name=$name&description=$description&parentPath=$path&mimetype=$mimetype&size=$size
You have to attach the file as mutipart content of your request.
Delete File or folder
To remove a file or a folder:
HL_webapp/rest/Delete?absPath=$path
Where:
- absPath: the absolute path of the file/folder to remove.
