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
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¶mB=valueB
presto-parameters-if-any = optionally, add any
MashZone NextGen
