Scripts to talk to POMS Rest API.

XML

Some plain XML examples can be found in examples

Python

For python we maintain a 'poms.py' which is imported in the other python scripts. It provides a simple shelve-database with settings you use, and maps the rest-calls which are used in the scripts.

michiel@baleno:~/github/npo-poms/scripts/python$ ./post.py -r -t dev  ../examples/program.xml
Username for https://api-dev.poms.omroep.nl/media/: vpro-mediatools
Password:
Username/password stored in file creds.db. Use -r to set it.

This is quite straight forward and was later improved to be an actual (python library)[https://github.com/npo-poms/pyapi]. Some scripts in the python directory of this project make use of that library.

Groovy/Java

Since POMS is written in Java, it is actually feasible to use its domain objects in your scripts. Rest clients are available, which use these domain objects directly.

MediaRestClient client = new MediaRestClient();
client.setUrl(mediaRsUrl);
client.setUserName(userName);
client.setPassword(password);
client.setErrors(getMail());
..
GroupUpdate group = client.getGroup(id);
..

group.setPublishStart(onlineDate);

client.set(group);

In the directory java of this project we appear code that (temporary) used these clients.

Bash/XSLT

Simply calling 'curl' in shell script is of course possible too. These scripts include a 'creds.sh'. A template 'copy.to.creds.sh' is available. Do that and provide your own credentials in it. Most scripts can be prefixed with the environment:

michiel@belono:~/github/npo-poms/scripts/bash$ ENV=prod ./unpublish.sh WO_VPRO_717563

Sometimes operations involve modifying XML, which is done using xsltproc/XSLT in these scripts.
