This document defines the Open-Xchange HTTP API which is used by the new AJAX GUI. The first chapter describes general definitions and conventions which apply to all server modules. All other chapters describe individual server modules.
'''The latest content on this page has moved to https://documentation.open-xchange.com/components/middleware/http/latest/index.html.'''


=== Low level protocol ===
Note: Open-Xchange is in the process of migrating all its technical documentation to a new and improved documentation system (documentation.open-xchange.com). Please note as the migration takes place more information will be available on the new system and less on this system. Thank you for your understanding during this period of transition.
 
The client accesses the server though HTTP GET, POST and PUT requests. The HTTP API is accessible at URIs starting with <code>/ajax</code>. Each server module has a unique name and its own sub-namespace with that name below <code>/ajax</code>, e. g. all access to the module "tasks" is via URIs starting with <code>/ajax/tasks</code>.
 
Text encoding is always UTF-8. Data is sent from the server to the client as <code>text/javascript</code> and interpreted by the client to obtain an ECMAScript object. The HTTP API uses only a small subset of the ECMAScript syntax. This subset is roughly described by the following BNF:
 
Value  ::= "null" | Boolean | Number | String | Array | Object
Boolean ::= "true" | "false"
Number  ::= see NumericLiteral in ECMA 262 3rd edition
String  ::= \"([^"\n\\]|\\["\n\\])*\"
Array  ::= "[]" | "[" Value ("," Value)* "]"
Object  ::= "{}" | "{" Name ":" Value ("," Name ":" Value)* "}"
Name    ::= [A-Fa-f][0-9A-Fa-f_]*
 
Numbers are the standard signed integer and floating point numbers. Strings can contain any character, except double quotes, newlines and backslashes, which must be escaped by a backslash. Control characters in strings (other than newline) are not supported. Whitespace is allowed between any two tokens. See [http://json.org JSON] and [http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm ECMA 262, 3<sup>rd</sup> edition] for the formal definition.
 
The response body consists of an object, which contains up to four fields as described in [[#ResponseBody | Response body]]. The field <code>data</code> contains the actual payload which is described in following chapters. The fields <code>timestamp</code>, <code>error</code> and <code>error_params</code> are present when data objects are returned, if an error occurred and if the error message contains conversion specifiers, respectively. Following sections describe the contents of these fields in more detail.

Data from the client to the server can be sent in several formats. Small amounts of data are sent as <code>application/x-www-urlencoded</code> in query parameters in the request URI. For POST requests, some or all parameters may be sent in the request body instead of in the URI using any valid encoding for POST requests. Alternatively, some requests specify that data is sent as <code>text/javascript</code> in the body of a PUT request. The format of the request body for PUT requests is the same as for sending data from the server to the client, except that the payload is sent directly, without being wrapped in another object.
 
When updating existing data, the client sends only fields that were modified. To explicitly delete a field, the field is sent with the value <code>null</code>. For fields of type <code>String</code>, the empty string <code>""</code> is equivalent to <code>null</code>.
 
=== Error handling ===
 
If the session of the user times out, if the client doesn't send a session ID or if the session for the specified session ID can not be found then the server returns the above described response object, that contains an error code and an error message. If the request URI or the request body is malformed or incomplete then the server returns the reponse object with an error message, too. In case of internal server errors, especially Java exceptions, or if the server is down, it returns the HTTP status code 503, Service Unavailable. Other severe errors may return other HTTP status values.
 
Application errors, which can be caused by a user and are therefore expected during the operation of the groupware, are reported by setting the field error in the returned object, as described in [[#ResponseBody | Response body]]. Since the error messages are translated by the client, they can not be composed of multiple variable parts. Instead, the error message can contain simplified printf()-style conversion specifications, which are replaced by elements from the array in the field error_params. If error_params is not present, no replacement occurs, even if parts of the error message match the syntax of a conversion specification.
 
A simplified conversion specification, as used for error messages, is either of the form %s or %''n''$s, where ''n'' is an array index for error_params as a decimal number. The conversion specifications are replaced from left to right by elements from error_params, starting at index 0. %s is replaced by the element with the current index and the index is incremented. %''n''$s is replaced by the element with index ''n'' and the index is set to ''n'' + 1.
 
Some error message contain data sizes which must be expressed in Bytes or Kilobytes etc., depending on the actual value. Since the unit must be translated, this conversion is performed by the client. Unfortunately, standard printf()-style formatting does not have a specifier for this kind of translation. Therefore, the conversion specification for sizes is the same as for normal strings, and the client has to determine which parameters to translate based on the error code. The current error codes and the corresponding size parameters are listed in [[#DataSizeParameters | Data size parameters]]

=== Date and time ===
 
Dates without time are transmitted as the number of milliseconds between 00:00 UTC on that date and 1970‑01‑01 00:00 UTC. Leap seconds are ignored, therefore this number is always an integer multiple of 8.64e7.
 
Because ECMAScript Date objects have no way to explicitly specify a timezone for calculations, timezone correction must be performed on the server. Dates with time are transmitted as the number of milliseconds since 1970‑01‑01 00:00 UTC (again, ignoring leap seconds) plus the offset between the user's timezone and UTC at the time in question. (See the Java method java.util.TimeZone.getOffset(long)).
 
For some date and time values, especially timestamps, monotonicity is more important than the actual value. Such values are transmitted as the number of milliseconds since 1970‑01‑01 00:00 UTC, ignoring leap seconds and without timezone correction. If possible, a unique strictly monotonic increasing value should be used instead, as it avoids some race conditions described below.
 
This specification refers to these three interpretations of the type Number as separate data types. The types are described in [[#DateAndTimeTypes | Date and time types]].
 
{| id="DateAndTimeTypes" cellspacing="0" border="1"
|+ align="bottom" | Date and time types

|-
| Date      || No  || UTC      || Date without time.
|-
| Time      || Yes  || User    || Date and time.
|-
| Timestamp || Yes  || UTC      || Timestamp or unique sequence number.
|-
|}
 
=== Updates ===
 
To allow efficient synchronization of a client with changes made by other clients and to detect conflicts, the server stores a timestamp of the last modification for each object. Whenever the server transmits data objects to the client, the response object described in [[#ResponseBody | Response body]] includes the field timestamp. This field contains a timestamp value which is computed as the maximum of the timestamps of all transmitted objects.
 
When requesting updates to a previously retrieved set of objects, the client sends the last timestamp which belongs to that set of objects. The response contains all updates with timestamps greater than the one specified by the client. The field timestamp of the response contains the new maximum timestamp value.
 
If multiple different objects may have the same timestamp values, then a race condition exists when an update is processed between two such objects being modified. The first, already modified object will be included in the update response and its timestamp will be the maximum timestamp value sent in the timestamp field of the response. If the second object is modified later but gets the same timestamp, the client will never see the update to that object because the next update request from the client supplies the same timestamp value, but only modifications with greater timestamp values are returned.
 
If unique sequence numbers can't be used as timestamps, then the risk of the race condition can be at least minimized by storing timestamps in the most precise format and/or limiting update results to changes with timestamp values which are measurably smaller than the current timestamp value.
 
=== Editing ===
 
Editing objects is performed one object at a time. There may be multiple objects being edited by the same client simulataneously, but this is achieved by repeating the steps required for editing a single object. There is no batch edit or upload command.
 
To edit an object, a client first requests the entire object from the server. The server response contains the timestamp field described in the previous section. For in-place editing inside a view of multiple objects, where only already retrieved fields can be changed, retrieving the entire object is not necessary, and the last timestamp of the view is used as the timestamp of each object in it.
 
When sending the modified object back to the server, only modified fields need to be included in the sent object. The request also includes the timestamp of the edited object. The timestamp is used by the server to ensure that the object was not edited by another client in the meantime. If the current timestamp of the object is greater than the timestamp supplied by the client, then a conflict is detected and the field error is set in the response. Otherwise, the object gets a new timestamp and the response to the client is empty.
 
If the client displays the edited object in a view together with other objects, then the client will need to perform an update of that view immediately after successfully uploading an edited object.
 
=== File uploads ===
 
File uploads are made by sending a POST request that submits both the file and the needed fields as parts of a request of content-type “multipart/form-data” or “multipart/mixed”. The file metadata are stored in a form field “file” (much like an <input type=”file” name=”file” /> would do). In general a call that allows file uploads via POST will have a corresponding call using PUT to send object data. The JSON-encoded object-data that is send as the body of a corresponding PUT call is, when performed as a POST with file uploads, put into the request parameter “json”.
 
Since the upload is performed directly by the browser and is not an Ajax call, the normal callback mechanism for asynchronous Javascript calls cannot be used to obtain the result. For this reason the server responds to these POST calls with a complete HTML page that performs the callback and should not be displayed to the user. The HTML response is of the form:
 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" <nowiki>"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"</nowiki>>
<html>
    <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            parent.callback_**action**(**json**);
        </script>
    </head>
</html>
 
The placeholders <code>**json**</code> is replaced by the response with the timestamp that would be expected from the corresponding PUT method. The placeholder <code>**action**</code> is replaced by the value of the parameter <code>action</code> of the request. The content-type of the answer is <code>text/html</code>.
 
=== Documentation conventions ===
 
The rest of this document describes all available requests for each module. A module usually supports several different requests, which are differentiated by the used HTTP method, URI path and supplied URI parameters. The description of each method generally contains the following elements:
* the HTTP method followed by the request URI, inclusing the URI parameter action, which is used to differentiate methods,
* a list of URI parameters which can or must be supplied by the client,
* for PUT requests, content of the request body,
* "Response with timestamp:"if the timestamp field is required in the response body or simply "Response:" if not,
* content of the response payload, unless it is supposed to be empty.
 
=== Common object data ===
 
This table contains common fields which apply for any module's data type and is referenced throughout this document whenever a module's data type is described.

== Module "login" ==
 
The login module is used to obtain a session ID from the user's login credentials.
 
=== Login ===
 
POST <code>/ajax/login?action=login</code>
 
Parameters:
* <code>name</code> – The login name.
* <code>password</code> – The password.
 
Response: A string containing the session ID used for all subsequent requests.
 
=== Logout ===
 
GET <code>/ajax/login?action=logout</code>

== Module "config" ==
 
The config module is used to retrieve and set user-specific configuration. The configuration is stored in a tree. Each node of the tree has a name and a value. The values of leaf nodes are strings which store the actual configuration data. The values of inner nodes are defined recursively as objects with one field for each child node. The name and the value of each field is the name and the value of the corresponding child node, respectively.

=== Get subfolders ===
 
GET <code>/ajax/folders?action=list</code>
 
Parameters:
* <code>session</code> – A session ID previously obtained from the login module.
* <code>parent</code> – Object ID of a folder, which is the parent folder of the requested folders.
* <code>columns</code> – A comma-separated list of columns to return. Each column is specified by a numeric column identifier. Column identifiers for folders are defined in [[#CommonFolderData | Common folder data]] and [[#DetailedFolderData | Detailed folder data]].
 
Response with timestamp: An array with data for all folders, which have the folder with the requested object ID as parent. Each array element describes one folder and is itself an array. The elements of each array contain the information specified by the corresponding identifiers in the columns parameter.
 
=== Get path ===
 
GET <code>/ajax/folders?action=path</code>
 
Parameters:
* <code>session</code> – A session ID previously obtained from the login module.
* <code>id</code> – Object ID of a folder.
* <code>columns</code> – A comma-separated list of columns to return. Each column is specified by a numeric column identifier. Column identifiers for folders are defined in [[#CommonFolderData | Common folder data]] and [[#DetailedFolderData | Detailed folder data]].
 
Response with timestamp: An array with data for all parent nodes until root folder. Each array element describes one folder and is itself an array. The elements of each array contain the information specified by the corresponding identifiers in the columns parameter.
 
=== Get updated folders ===
 
GET <code>/ajax/folders?action=updates</code>
 
Parameters:
* <code>session</code> – A session ID previously obtained from the login module.
* <code>parent</code> – Object ID of a folder, which is the parent folder of the requested folders.
* <code>timestamp</code> – Timestamp of the last update of the requested folders.
* <code>ignore</code> (optional) – Which kinds of updates should be ignored. Currently, the only valid value – "deleted" – causes deleted object IDs not to be returned.
* <code>columns</code> – A comma-separated list of columns to return. Each column is specified by a numeric column identifier. Column identifiers for folders are defined in [[#CommonFolderData | Common folder data]] and [[#DetailedFolderData | Detailed folder data]].
 
Response with timestamp: An array with data for new, modified and deleted folders. New and modified folders are represented by arrays. The elements of each array contain the information specified by the corresponding identifiers in the columns parameter. Deleted folders are identified by their object IDs as plain strings, without being part of a nested array.
 
=== Get a folder ===
 
GET <code>/ajax/folders?action=get</code>
 
Parameters:
* <code>session</code> – A session ID previously obtained from the login module.
* <code>id</code> – Object ID of the requested folder.
 
Response with timestamp: An object containing all data of the requested folder. The fields of the object are listed in [[#CommonFolderData | Common folder data]] and [[#DetailedFolderData | Detailed folder data]]. The field id is not present. Since OX access controls are folder-based, the folder object also defines the permissions for the objects it contains. The permissions for a given user or group are defined by the object described in [[#PermissionObject | Permission object]]. The format of the actual permissions depends on the type of the folder. The permissions of mail folders are transmitted as a rights string as defined in section 3 of RFC 2086. Permissions of all other folders are transmitted as a single nonnegative integer number. The permissions for any given action on the folder or on contained objects is defined by a group of bits in the binary representation of this number. Each group of bits is interpreted as a separate number. Zero always means "no permissions". Any other values add new permissions and always include the permissions of all lower values. The individual values are described in [[#PermissionFlags | Permission flags]].
 
=== Update a folder ===
 
PUT <code>/ajax/folders?action=update</code>
 
Parameters:
* <code>session</code> – A session ID previously obtained from the login module.
* <code>id</code> – Object ID of the updated folder.
* <code>timestamp</code> – Timestamp of the updated folder. If the folder was modified after the specified timestamp, then the update must fail.
 
Request body: Folder object as described in [[#CommonFolderData | Common folder data]] and [[#DetailedFolderData | Detailed folder data]]. Only modified fields are present.
 
=== Create a folder ===
 
PUT <code>/ajax/folders?action=new</code>
 
Parameters:
* <code>folder_id</code> – The parent folder of the newly created folder
* <code>session</code> – A session ID previously obtained from the login module.
 
Request body: Folder object as described in [[#CommonFolderData | Common folder data]] and [[#DetailedFolderData | Detailed folder data]]. The field id should not be present.
 
Provided that permission is granted to create a folder, its module is bound to the limitation, that the new folder's module must be equal to parent folder's module except that:
* Parent folder is one of the system folders <code>private</code>, <code>public</code>, or <code>shared</code>. Below these folders task, calendar, and contact modules are permitted.
* Parent folder's module is one of task, calendar, or contact. Below this kind of folders task, calendar, and contact modules are permitted.
 
Response: Object ID of the newly created folder.
 
=== Delete folders ===
 
PUT <code>/ajax/folders?action=delete</code>
 
Parameters:
* <code>session</code> – A session ID previously obtained from the login module.
* <code>timestamp</code> – Timestamp of the last update of the deleted folders.
 
Request body: An array with object IDs of the deleted folders.
 
Response: An array with object IDs of folders which were modified after the specified timestamp and were therefore not deleted.
 
=== Clearing a folder's content (preliminary) ===
PUT <code>/ajax/folders?action=clear</code>
 
Parameters:
* <code>session</code> – A session ID previously obtained from the login module.
 
Request body: A JSON array containing the folder ID(s) whose content should be cleared. '''NOTE:''' Although the requests offers to clear multiple folders at once it is recommended to clear only one folder per request since if any exception occurs
(e.g. missing permissions) the complete request is going to be aborted.
 
Response: A JSON array containing the IDs of folders that could not be cleared due to a concurrent modification. Meaning you receive an empty JSON array if everything worked well.
 
== Module "tasks" ==
 
The tasks module is used to access task information.

== Module "search" (preliminary) ==
 
The search module is an enhancement to each search request as an optional JSON object via PUT method to filter elements; e.g.
 
<code>
PUT /ajax/contacts?action=all&...
 
{"filter":{search-term-object}}
</code>
 
This section describes the syntax of the optional JSON object representing the search term.<br>
In general the structure of a search term is in prefix notation; meaning the operator is written before its operands:
 
<code>{"operation":"equals","operands":[...]}</code>
 
Moreover there are two different types of a search terms:
* A single search term
* A composite search term
 
A single search term reflects an operation which cannot hold nested search terms as operands; e.g. "equals". In opposite to this a composite search term holds one or more nested search terms as operands; e.g. "non" or the logical junctors "and"/"or".
 
By now the following operations are supported:
* composite operations
** "and" - The AND junctor
** "or" - The OR junctor
** "non" - Negation
* single operations
** "equals" - Equals comparison
** "lt" - Less-than comparison
** "gt" - Greater-than comparison
 
Furthermore following operand types are supported for single search terms:
* Column - Providing a name referring to a field/column
* Constant - A constant
 
Example of an EQUALS search term:<br>
<code>
{"operation":"equals","operands":[{"type":"column","value":"first_name"},"Jane"]}
</code>
 
Example of an OR search term:<br>
<code>
{"operation":"or","operands":<br>
&nbsp;[<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;{"operation":"equals","operands":[{"type":"column","value":"first_name"},"Jane"]},<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;{"operation":"gt","operands":[{"type":"column","value":"birthday"},"1975-05-01"]}<br>
&nbsp;]<br>
}<br>
</code>
 
 
Refer to object data tables introduced by different modules to know which field names are supported; e.g. for tasks it is [[#CommonObjectData | Common object data]], [[#DetailedTaskAndAppointmentData | Detailed task and appointment data]], and [[#DetailedTaskData | Detailed task data]].
 
== Module "mail account" (preliminary) ==
 
The mail account module is used to manage multiple mail accounts held by a user.
 
=== Get a mail account ===
 
GET <code>/ajax/account?action=get</code>
 
Parameters:
* <code>session</code> – A session ID previously obtained from the login module.
* <code>id</code> – The ID of the account to return.
 
Response: A JSON object representing the desired mail account. See [[#MailAccountData | mail account data]].
