REST
Oracle Retail AI Foundation Cloud Services has an Outbound Interface to export data (GET request), and it uses REST to
expose data. These web services are REST-based; it is assumed that callers are familiar with the basic REST principles (such
as the usage of HTTP verbs). AC and ASO export web services can serve as a means of obtaining incremental update data from
a specified point in time. All services support the query parameter contentType
and the HTTP header Content-Type,
with supported values application/json
and application/xml
. The query parameter takes precedence;
if no content type is supplied, then application/json
serves as the default. Basic authentication is used,
so you may use any client software that supports it. Authorization is done for ADF-LDAP (OID) mapped roles, and only administrator
roles are used (that is, the calling user must be in a duty that is mapped to the defined administrator roles). JSON/XML parsing
is done using standard JAXB request parameters that are validated before data is fetched.
