API Automation

Our next major release to the SRP HTTP Framework introduces some major improvements to the way resources and APIs are created. The HTTP Framework Setup form has been heavily extend to support new features. The most significant of these is the Resource Manager, a visual tool that allows developers to define endpoints and automatically generate API templates with the click of a few buttons!

Authentication in a Box

While the SRP HTTP Framework has also supported HTTP Basic Authentication and has made it easy to embrace other methods of authentication, it had never ship with an out-of-the box authentication management tool. We have rectified this by including a Web Accounts module. Users can now be created with expiring passwords. The SRP HTTP Framework authentication service has been significantly updated to provide support for Web Accounts while making it even easier to support other methods as well. Also, unsuccessful authentication requests are now tracked and the system can be configured to automatically go into containment mode based on a predetermined number of invalid passwords.

APIs are the new Services

As a way of embracing the awesomeness and convenience of our new enhanced BASIC+ syntax, we've added a new statement: GoToAPI. This effectively eliminates the long and complicate Case statements that were required to route each HTTP method and endpoint combination to an appropriate GoSub label. For example:

GoToAPI else
   // The specific resource endpoint doesn't have a API handler yet.
   HTTP_Services('SetResponseStatus', 204, 'This is a valid endpoint but a web API handler has not yet been created.')
end

Return Response OR ''

end api

API Contacts.ID.PUT
   KeyID   = EndpointSegment
   HTTP_Resource_Services('PutDatabaseItem', 'CONTACTS', FullEndpointURL, KeyID)
end api

API Contacts.ID.DELETE
   KeyID   = EndpointSegment
