Invoke Mashables or Mashups

The form for URLs to invoke MashZone NextGen mashables or mashups using the REST API is:

http://app-server:port/mashzone/edge/api/rest/mashable-mashup-id/operation-id[?input-parameters-if-any&presto-parameters-if-any

mashable-mashup-id = the ID of the mashable or mashup to run. See Use Mashable/Mashup Technical Specs for information on obtaining artifact IDs.

operation-id = the ID of the operation in this mashable or mashup to run.

Many mashables, such as syndicated web feeds, have a single operation. Mashups also have a single operation.

input-parameters-if-any = add input parameters as query parameters in the URL when the mashable or mashup uses the HTTP GET action.

paramA=valueA&paramB=valueB

presto-parameters-if-any = optionally, add any MashZone NextGen Headers/Parameters to the URL to control processing, request specific information in the response or pass additional information to a mashable. Some of the most common MashZone NextGen parameters include:

x-p-anonymous to have this request treated as a guest user, with no authentication required.

x-p-resultFormat to have MashZone NextGen return the response in CSV, JSON or XML formats.

x-p-paginateStart and other pagination parameters to have MashZone NextGen paginate the result and return one 'page' of data.

See Working with theMashZone NextGenREST API for a basic example of using this API.
