How to extend REST API plugin?

Openfire Openfire Support

Hi everybody,

I’m using REST API plugin in my Openfire with regular routes and everything runs OK, but now I have to implement new routes.

Which is the best way? There’s any ‘simple and clean’ way to do it?

Will be inefficient add an other server for example with a PHP Framework that provides me a REST API with the new routes?

Thanks!!

The REST API plugin is written in Java. The routes can be easy extended.

Look here to the code: Openfire/src/plugins/restAPI at master · igniterealtime/Openfire · GitHub

Which features do you miss in the REST API?

I think that it’s very complete, but I think in some new features like contacts suggestion based on the users email address, for example. I think that it will be a good idea to extend to API to implement these features.

How do you see it?

Can you explain what you feature should do?

It will search all mails in the same domain (for example: all mails @att.com) and it will returned as JSON or XML to be shown on the client like suggested contacts.

So basically you want a filter by get all user which have an specified email.

This means that I can retrieve all the users and make the filter on the client?

Or can I use regex on the server filters? (API REST) For example:

-Retrieve users with mail equals to: *@att.com

It’s possible?

Thx!!

A filter to get members in a particular group would be nice. I don’t see it in the docs.

thanks

It is not yet possible to get members by group or to filter by email. That need to be implemented.

Hi

I have a same question - in the REST api session part, I need the online users JID, not just the online users number.

If you use /sessions you will get all available Sessions, which also contains the JID.

Thank you,

I find my mistake: I only print the result of curl object, not the actual result of curl call…
