Hey Philip,
No, the page / methods don't map 1:1. I might change that, not sure.
As you can see in the code, only the following methods are implemented so far:
get_8021q
get_ipv4space
get_ipaddress
get_rackspace
get_depot
get_object
add_object
get_chapter
Some of the methods require additional arguments, some don't. Again
see the source code for details on that.
Some example URIs that work would be:
http://racktables.foo.com/apiv0.php?method=get_chapter&chapter_no=13
http://racktables.foo.com/apiv0.php?method=get_depot
http://racktables.foo.com/apiv0.php?method=get_depot
http://racktables.foo.com/apiv0.php?method=get_object&object_id=923
Again, this is super-preliminary code because I want to make sure it
fits in with how the Racktables contributors like to lay things out.
So don't expect too much from it just yet.
Cheers,
Ian
