IDOTS Library API

The data in this repository can be fetched completely via HTTP GETs to a static web server. In other words, starting with a root URL to the library, a web crawler could discover all the data; additionally that data can be served via a static content web server.

Nonetheless there are reasonable use cases requiring a RESTful API to a dynamic content web server. For example, a service which can be sent query parameters in order to request a subset of the data in one of the files in this repository, which could reduce network traffic and thereby app load time (including parse time on the clients).

The API for such a service is defined in this repository using Swagger, in the Swagger spec for an IDOTS Library API

The API was split out from the main IDOTS Project repository as such the documentation for this API is still in that other repository's wiki.
