API Documentation
The CampusWire API is a way to access CampusWire programatically. This makes it easy to integrate CampusWire into your own application, or even build an application around CampusWire. The API follows REST principles.
All API calls are authenticated using HTTP BasicAuth. Be sure to set your Content-Type and Accept HTTP headers to application/xml
There are four HTTP methods that are used when you make a call to our API. They are:
- GET—Get information about a resource
- POST—Create a new resource
- PUT—Modify/update a resource
- DELETE—Delete a resource
CampusWire has two main resources that you can create/edit/update/destroy.
The request URI should end in .xml when making calls to the API. For instance, to retrieve a list of users the request would get GET http://www.thecampuswire.com/organizations/john_doe/users.xml
If you are working with an individual resource, an example request would be GET http://www.thecampuswire.com/organizations/john_doe/users/1.xml
