we have added the jsonapi interface but almost nothing uses it yet. Migrating functions to it will be a project over time On Wednesday, August 26, 2015, David McNab <davidmcnabnz@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi there,
How do you do API calls in JSON? Or, how do I get a list of all the API calls which can receive JSON parameters and return JSON return values?
For example, in the console, I tried 'show calls', and got a list of calls. I did the same call from via XML-RPC from a python script, and got a single string back, containing what would have been output to the console. But when I tried, from the console:
*json {"command":"show calls", "format":"pretty", "data":{}}*
I got an invalid response.
I also tried:
*json {"command":"show", "format":"pretty", "data":"calls"}*
but got similar.
Is there a general sceme for invoking all the console API commands (and receiving responses) in JSON format?
If not, I guess I need to write some parsers to process each command's output string.
Cheers David
