What is REST API?
A RESTful API is an application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data.
...
A RESTful API breaks down a transaction to create a series of small modules. Each module addresses a particular underlying part of the transaction. This modularity provides developers with a lot of flexibility.
How to set up Burti REST API?
Initial setup is rather complicated, so we do it for the costumer. However, there are some prerequisites that needs to be done, in order to set it up:
...
| Code Block |
|---|
0_query=Web_JSON_INVc_List.hal&0_count=500&0_full=false&0_sort_only=true&0_index=Code&0_company=1&1_query=Web_JSON_INVc_List.hal&1_count=500&1_full=false&1_sort_only=true&1_index=Code&1_company=2 |
...
Parameters explained
In this example you can see that there are two groups of parameters - prefixed with "0_" and "1_". This illustrates two separate data requests within a single call. The response data will be similarly grouped.

Response file response.get2.json
Insert a new item
sample.post.data.txt - made to the WRITE interface Web_JSON_UpdatingComposer.hal:
| Code Block |
|---|
{
"0": {
"name": "WEB_JSON_INVc_Save.hal",
"company": 2,
"data": {
"action": "insert",
"matrix": [],
"Code": "10101",
"Name": "Media keyboard"
}
},
"2": {
"name": "WEB_JSON_INVc_Save.hal",
"company": 2,
"data": {
"action": "insert",
"matrix": [],
"Code": "10102",
"Name": "Media keyboard 2"
}
}
} |
Parameters explained
As you can see, the request is now in JSON format. It is once again numbered and can contain multiple requests within the single call. These would be expected to be numbered 0, 1, 2 and so on.
