Repository API

Under current schema

Fetching script info

hydrilla.example.com/script?n=helloscript returns:

{
    "name": "helloscript",
    "location": "somedirectory/hello.js",
    "sha256":   "e4dbe4dba40e8bd159fb987b0f0cf2c243d7e6b9b9dc792e58dedf1fae38b0a1"
}

or 404 Not Found in case "helloscript" script does not exist. hydrilla.example.com/content/somedirectory/hello.js holds the actual script source.

Fetching bag info

hydrilla.example.com/bag?n=hellobag returns:

{
    "name": "hellobag",
    "components":   [["s", "helloscript"], ["s", "someotherscript"], ["b", "somebag"]]
}

or 404 Not Found in case "hellobag" bag does not exist.

Fetching pattern info

hydrilla.example.com/pattern?n=https://example.org/a/* returns:

{
    "pattern":  "https://example.org/a/*",
    "payload":  ["b", "hellobag"]
}

or 404 Not Found in case requested pattern does not exist.

Querying patterns that match given URL

Finally, hydrilla.example.com/query?n=https://example.org/a/b returns:

[{
        "pattern":  "https://example.org/a/*",
        "payload":  ["b", "hellobag"]
    }, {
        "pattern":  "https://example.org/a/b",
        "payload":  ["b", "fix_by_mrcooldev"]
    }, {
        "pattern":  "https://example.org/a/b",
        "payload":  ["b", "mod_by_missgreatskill"]
    }]

or in case no patterns match the requested URL, it returns just:

[]

or in case the URL is of wrong format it returns some HTTP error.

Under the upcoming schema

Also, once we get to do the redesign discussed in this forum thread, current interface will be replaced with the one described below (although some changes are still possible to happen!). In the examples below we assume base URL of the API server is https://hydrilla.example.com/.

Fetching resource info

"resource" is now the equivalent of what we used to call "bag".

Let's assume we want to retrieve the definition of resource helloapple. We can issue a GET to https://hydrilla.example.com/resource/helloapple.json. It returns:

{
    "api_schema_version": [
        1
    ],
    "source_name": "hello",
    "source_copyright": [
        {
            "file": "report.spdx",
            "sha256": "249599a36ad9f6f33b8bf16ca6ace2413d95d8cdb481173968fa4e97fd0a5635"
        },
        {
            "file": "LICENSES/CC0-1.0.txt",
            "sha256": "a2010f343487d3f7618affe54f789f5487602331c0a8d03f49e9a7c547cf0499"
        }
    ],
    "type": "resource",
    "identifier": "helloapple",
    "long_name": "Hello Apple",
    "uuid": "a6754dcb-58d8-4b7a-a245-24fd7ad4cd68",
    "version": [
        2021,
        11,
        10
    ],
    "revision": 1,
    "description": "greets an apple",
    "dependencies": [
        {
            "identifier": "hello-message"
        }
    ],
    "scripts": [
        {
            "file": "hello.js",
            "sha256": "18dd7d7ac9f74a5ba871791ac6aa4d55530a336ae1b373538b6dd5320b330414"
        },
        {
            "file": "bye.js",
            "sha256": "cee8d88cf5e5346522fd9ee5e1f994b335fb68d2f460b27b2a2a05f0bcd2b55b"
        }
    ]
}

or 404 Not Found in case resource helloapple does not exists. If multiple versions are available, newest version's JSON description gets returned. A different one can be retrieved by including version in the GET request. Requested path should then take the form /resource/<resource_name>/<version> (e.g. GET https://hydrilla.example.com/resource/helloapple/2021.11.9).

File can be retrieved by issuing a GET request to https://hydrilla.example.com/file/sha256/<file's_sha256_sum>. For example, requests to https://hydrilla.example.com/file/sha256/a2010f343487d3f7618affe54f789f5487602331c0a8d03f49e9a7c547cf0499 and hydrilla.example.com/file/sha256/18dd7d7ac9f74a5ba871791ac6aa4d55530a336ae1b373538b6dd5320b330414 yield contents of LICENSES/CC0-1.0.txt and hello.js, respectively.)

A JSON schema describing resource definition format is available here.

Fetching mapping info

"mapping" is now a set of what we used to call "pattern".

Let's assume we want to retrieve the definition of mapping helloapple (mapping is allowed to have the same identifier as a resource). We can issue a GET to https://hydrilla.example.com/mapping/helloapple.json. It returns:

{
    "api_schema_version": [
        1
    ],
    "source_name": "hello",
    "source_copyright": [
        {
            "file": "report.spdx",
            "sha256": "249599a36ad9f6f33b8bf16ca6ace2413d95d8cdb481173968fa4e97fd0a5635"
        },
        {
            "file": "LICENSES/CC0-1.0.txt",
            "sha256": "a2010f343487d3f7618affe54f789f5487602331c0a8d03f49e9a7c547cf0499"
        }
    ],
    "type": "mapping",
    "identifier": "helloapple",
    "long_name": "Hello Apple",
    "uuid": "54d23bba-472e-42f5-9194-eaa24c0e3ee7",
    "version": [
        2021,
        11,
        10
    ],
    "description": "causes apple to get greeted on Hydrillabugs issue tracker",
    "payloads": {
        "https://hydrillabugs.koszko.org/***": {
            "identifier": "helloapple"
        },
        "https://hachettebugs.koszko.org/***": {
            "identifier": "helloapple"
        }
    }
}

or 404 Not Found in case helloapple mapping does not exist. If multiple versions are available, newest version's JSON description gets returned. A different one can be retrieved by including version in the GET request. Requested path should then take the form /mapping/<mapping_name>/<version> (e.g. GET https://hydrilla.example.com/mapping/helloapple/2021.11.8).

File can be retrieved by issuing a GET request to https://hydrilla.example.com/file/sha256/<file's_sha256_sum>. For example, request to https://hydrilla.example.com/file/sha256/a2010f343487d3f7618affe54f789f5487602331c0a8d03f49e9a7c547cf0499 yields contents of LICENSES/CC0-1.0.txt.

A JSON schema describing mapping definition format is available here.

Querying mappings that match given URL

Assume we want to query mappings with patterns matching https://example.org/a/b. We can issue a GET to https://hydrilla.example.com/query?url=https://example.org/a/b. It returns:

{
    "api_schema_version": [
        1
    ],
    "mappings": [
        {
            "identifier": "example-org-minimal",
            "long_name": "Example.org Minimal",
            "version": [
                2022,
                5,
                10
            ]
        },
        {
            "identifier": "example-org-experimental",
            "long_name": "example.org fix bundle",
            "version": [
                0,
                4
            ]
        }
    ]
}

The value of "mappings" can be an empty array ([]) in case no mappings match given URL. In case many versions of some mapping match the URL, only the most current of those versions that do is listed. In case the URL is of wrong format, 400 Bad Request is returned.

A JSON schema describing query result format is available here.

Fetching source info

By "source" we mean description of a source package used to build Hydrilla site content.

Assume we want to get description of source package hello. We can issue a GET to https://hydrilla.example.com/source/hello.json. It returns:

{
    "api_schema_version": [
        1
    ],
    "source_name": "hello",
    "source_copyright": [
        {
            "file": "report.spdx",
            "sha256": "249599a36ad9f6f33b8bf16ca6ace2413d95d8cdb481173968fa4e97fd0a5635"
        },
        {
            "file": "LICENSES/CC0-1.0.txt",
            "sha256": "a2010f343487d3f7618affe54f789f5487602331c0a8d03f49e9a7c547cf0499"
        }
    ],
    "source_archives": {
        "zip": {
            "sha256": "f61bfc5594a2603452a8c8e5f7a3f36f255bc39d5ffea02c9fdefc0de6461c74"
        }
    },
    "upstream_url": "https://git.koszko.org/hydrilla-source-package-example",
    "definitions": [
        {
            "type": "resource",
            "identifier": "helloapple",
            "long_name": "Hello Apple",
            "version": [
                2021,
                11,
                10
            ]
        },
        {
            "type": "resource",
            "identifier": "hello-message",
            "long_name": "Hello Message",
            "version": [
                2021,
                11,
                10
            ]
        },
        {
            "type": "mapping",
            "identifier": "helloapple",
            "long_name": "Hello Apple",
            "version": [
                2021,
                11,
                10
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Or 404 Not Found in case no such source package exists. Here zip was listed among available source archive extensions. It means we can download the zip archive of this source package by issuing GET to https://hydrilla.example.com/source/hello.zip.

With api_schema_version beginning with major number 1, zip archive is always guaranteed to be available.

A JSON schema describing source package description format is available here.
