http://groups.drupal.org/services A working group for the Services module and related modules. en http://groups.drupal.org/node/9439 <p>This is the beginnings of a design specification proposal for an abstracted API for implementing web services within Drupal 7. This allows Drupal to act as both a server and client for web services in any protocol medium (XML-RPC, RDF, RSS, JSON, etc). It is the combined efforts from a number of people at Druplicon including Marc Ingram, Scott Nelson, Nedjo Rogers, Dmitri Gaskin, etc.</p> <h3>Services API</h3> <p>The Services API allows you to host local servers in different protocols, as well as make web service calls to external servers. In all four of these functions, if you pass a $source and $protocol, the correct hook_client function will be called to make these external calls. These functions reside in services.inc.</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">services_get_server($server = NULL)</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">Returns all servers available to the local system (XML-RPC, JSON, RDF, etc). If a $server is given, it would return all information regarding that server. Only local functionality here. </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr">services_get_services($source = NULL, $protocol = NULL) <ul> <li dir="ltr">Calls hook_services and retrieves all services within the system (external on the given protocol, or local) </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr">services_get_service($method, $source = NULL, $protocol = NULL); <ul> <li dir="ltr">Returns all information regarding the given service (either externally or locally) </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr">services_call_service($method, $parameters = array(), $source = NULL, $protocol = NULL) <ul> <li dir="ltr">Uses services_get_service to retrieve information about the method, and then calls its method (either externally or locally)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h4>Hooks</h4> <p>These are the hooks that become available by the Services API:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">hook_services</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">An array of all services with the key being the method name of the service (node.load, node.save, etc), and then the following properties:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">#description</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">A short description of what the service does </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr">#access <ul> <li dir="ltr">The permission the user is required to call the service </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr">#callback <ul> <li dir="ltr">The callback function when the service is called </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr">#type <ul> <li dir="ltr">The return type of the service call (array, string, number) </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr">hook_servers <ul> <li dir="ltr">An array of all servers with the key being the short name of the server (rdf, xmlrpc, amfphp, etc), with the following properties:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">#description</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">A short description of the server </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr">#title <ul> <li dir="ltr">The title of the server (RDF, XML-RPC, JSON, etc)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h3>Modules</h3> <p>The following are the new modules that are implemented:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">Services module</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr">Implements the administration interface to test services </li> <li dir="ltr">services_menu for entry points to servers (example.com/services/%server) </li> <li dir="ltr">services_perm for a user permission to "administer services" </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr">xmlrpc_services Module <ul> <li dir="ltr">Implements xmlrpc_servers function to implement XML-RPC server </li> <li dir="ltr">Implements xmlrpc_client to query a remote XML-RPC server </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr">json_services Module <ul> <li dir="ltr">Implement json_servers function to imlement JSON server </li> <li dir="ltr">Implements json_client to query a remote JSON server? </li> </ul> </li> <li dir="ltr">rdf_services Module <ul> <li dir="ltr">Implement rdf_servers function to implement RDF server </li> <li dir="ltr">Implement rdf_client function to query a remote RDF server </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>If we wanted, all of these modules could be implemented into the Services module through the same hook (services_servers). This would allow us to only add one module to Drupal core as opposed to four.

However, this server-native error lives in the same space as legitimate results.</p> <p>It seems with this system that it is the service server's responsibility to determine whether the data it is being passed is an error message that it generated previously, or not. If this is the way things are supposed to work, this means that there is a chance of confusion between legitimate data and an error structure. Right now, e.g. json_server.module looks in the data for the presence of an '#error' key to determine error status.</p> <p>Oddly enough, this seems to follow a bad example set by core's xmlrpcs.inc, which similarly checks if the returned value is an object that has its -&gt;is_error key set. In this case, it's still a stupid idea, but at least there you know you're only working with the XMLRPC server and thus which key name to avoid.</p> <p>In the case of services, there are an infinite number of server types available, each with its own hook_server_error() and thus each with its own method of indicating errors. This means method implementors are working in a data minefield where adding arbitrary keys to your return value can trigger certain server back ends to interpret the result as errors.</p> <p>(PS: What's with all the hash marks? Every single hook_services property is defined with '#name' rather than 'name'. This convention is used in Form API to allow properties ('#name') to share a namespace with form element names ('name'). In services.module, there is no such namespace sharing, and hash marks are used unnecessarily. The JSON server even includes these hash marks in its output. Icky.)</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/services">Services</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/14031#comments Services Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:27:46 +0000 Steven 14031 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/13998 <p>Well there seems to be a lack of simple examples or documentation on connecting a PHP XML-RPC client to Drupal Services.

I'm now getting to the point where I'd like to be able to add attributes to the xml elements in the response, but I'd like these to be extensible to other server modules if possible (so i'd like to do it in my service module rather than implement a new server.</p> <p>I'd like to get a response along these lines with attributes embedded within the element tags (see xml code below). Does this make sense to anybody, or am I on completely the wrong track and should I do this as a specific server (the difficulty is the attributes actually relate to the data being served, not the way in which it's being served).</p> <div class="codeblock"><code>&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot; ?&gt;<br />&lt;response success=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;conceptSet searchTerm=&quot;Abies alba&quot;&gt;<br />&lt;concept dataSchemaConcept=&quot;DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/Result/TaxonIdentified/HigherTaxa/HigherTaxon/HigherTaxonName&quot;&gt;<br />&lt;name id=&quot;106415&quot; relationtype=&quot;&quot; id2=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Abies alba@authorMill.]]&gt;&lt;/name&gt;<br /> &lt;status&gt;&lt;![CDATA[accepted]]&gt;&lt;/status&gt;</p> <p> &lt;reference id=&quot;500000&quot;&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Euro+Med preliminary checklist as merged from Flora Europaea, Med-Checklist and Flora of Macaronesia (for families not yet treated in Med-Checklist, the distributional record does not include N Africa and SW Asia)..]]&gt;&lt;/reference&gt;</p> <p> &lt;/concept&gt;<br />&lt;concept dataSchemaConcept=&quot;DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/Result/TaxonIdentified/HigherTaxa/HigherTaxon/HigherTaxonName&quot;&gt;<br />&lt;name id=&quot;106415&quot; relationtype=&quot;&quot; id2=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Abies alba@authorMill.]]&gt;&lt;/name&gt;<br /> &lt;status&gt;&lt;![CDATA[accepted]]&gt;&lt;/status&gt;</p> <p> &lt;reference id=&quot;7500000&quot;&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Jury 2005.]]&gt;&lt;/reference&gt;</p> <p> &lt;/concept&gt;<br />&lt;/conceptSet&gt;<br />&lt;/response&gt;</code></div> <p>Let me know if it'd be better to post this elsewhere.<br /> thanks,<br /> Kehan</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/services">Services</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/13791#comments attributes services webservices xml Services Thu, 07 Aug 2008 09:24:11 +0000 kehan@drupal.org 13791 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/13781 <p>This is a proof of concept for file upload using flash 8 and drupal 6 + amfphp</p> <blockquote><p> Limitations<br /> The filename has to be unique so it can be matched when saving the node<br /> File upload in flash uses FileData, flash 9 should be able to change this to Files so we (probably) can use the build in file upload?

I am pretty much decided on drupal as the platform of choice, and loved the NYobserver case study. However we have one major concern. Our journalists use the 3B2 Advent system. The requirement from the top is that this definetly has to remain in place so the option of journalists entering / publishing stories through a custom CCK content type in drupal is a no no. What we can do however is output all Journalist stories in perfect clean XML from 3B2 / Advent, but have noidea where to go from here. Can anyone advise on:<br /> 1) The best possible way we should be exporting this XML for Drupal and indeed,<br /> 2) If its possible to import this XML to drupal Nodes / Structure we should be using to make the most out of our XML files</p> <p>Kind Regards<br /> amax</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/services">Services</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/13028#comments 3% advent development howto support Newspapers on Drupal Services Wed, 09 Jul 2008 09:10:19 +0000 amax 13028 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12896 <p>Hiya.</p> <p>I am new to Drupal so please bare with my ignorance ;)<br /> We are evaluating CMS's out there and usually in the enterprise world what makes or brakes you is the due diligence that has been done on integration APIs.</p> <p>We have looked at various other CMS's and it seems like Drupal is beginning to take being a "content management service" more serious than other alternatives who are happy to just be a website with open sourced code and "integrate however you wish" philosophy.</p> <p>I am really glad to see this initiative.</p> <p>I see a lot of AMFPHP etc but is there any documentation on how to integrate via SOAP? SOAP is <em>very</em> popular among the industry for example Sales Force etc has an entire business on exposing APIs over SOAP.</p> <p>I would like to experiment connecting to Drupal APIs via SOAP in all our enterprise framework which consists of Java, .NET (ASP.NET, Winforms, Silverlight 2x, mobile devices etc).</p> <p>Any guidance on how to get started would be great. I have been unable to find where to reference the WSDL from.</p> <p>Thanks so much!</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/services">Services</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12896#comments Services Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:45:08 +0000 kellabyte 12896 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12872 <p>I've seen a number of Flex/Drupal tutorials, but very few Flash/Drupal tutorials.

I would like to make a website with a flash based interview appz. After user click send button I'd like to store the interview text as a node. I used the example "Accessing a service from Flash 8". It works fine.<br /> I have made some changes in the flash code, because I don't want to load the node to the flash but I want to save the flash content to database as node:<br /> var content = new Object();<br /> content.type = "interview";<br /> content.title = "some title";<br /> content.body = "some body text";<br /> var pc:PendingCall = node.save(content);<br /> It works fine, but only when I'm logged in as administrator.</p> <p>And I need two more things to set:</p> <p>I need to set the user id (uid)<br /> I tried with adding one more line:<br /> content.uid = "2"; but it doesn't work.<br /> every node that saved from flash has uid=0</p> <p>the second thing to set is the url alias. I'd like to ganarate a url alias from the user submitted name, and after submitting I'd like to redirect to user to the host/interview/usernamepath page, which contains the interview text.</p> <p>thanks for help</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/services">Services</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12597#comments flash as2 Services Fri, 20 Jun 2008 08:35:15 +0000 mhncsa 12597 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12573 <p>For those who don't get the Security email announcements:</p> <pre><code>------------SA-2008-038 - SERVICES - ARBITRARY CODE EXECUTION------------ * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-038 * Project: Services (third-party module) * Versions: 5.x and 6.x * Date: 2008-June-18 * Security risk: Highly critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Arbitrary code execution ------------DESCRIPTION------------ The Services module package was created out of a need for a standardized solution to integrate external applications with Drupal. It builds on concepts from Drupal core's XMLRPC interface, but abstracts service callbacks so that they may be used with multiple interfaces such as XMLRPC, SOAP, REST, and AMF. This enables a Drupal site to provide web services via multiple interfaces while using the same callback code. Unfortunately, the access control system is not sufficiently granular; Users with access to use a services have access to all provided services. With the provided node services, or the system services enabled, it allowed arbitrary code execution for those users. Access to services can optionally be limited to certain ip addresses or configured to need an API key, somewhat mitigating the issue. ------------VERSIONS AFFECTED------------ * Versions of Services for Drupal 5.x prior to 5.x-0.9 * Versions of Services for Drupal 6.x prior to 6.x-0.9 If you do not use the Services module, there is nothing you need to do. ------------SOLUTION------------ Install the latest version: * If you use Services for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Services 5.x-0.9 [ <a href="http://drupal.org/node/272203" title="http://drupal.org/node/272203">http://drupal.org/node/272203</a> ] * If you use Services for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Services 6.x-0.9 [ <a href="http://drupal.org/node/272202" title="http://drupal.org/node/272202">http://drupal.org/node/272202</a> ] Review the new security features within the module, and upgrade all of your remote service calls to authenticate a user session ID before making any Service calls requiring secure communication.

My goal was to have a user create images in Flash, and ultimately have Drupal save the image on the webserver along with node data for retrieval later.</p> <p>It works!</p> <p>I'm new to using Services and AMFPHP, and to some extent Actionscript 3, but with the screencasts Rob Loach provided (HUGE thanks!!) I was able to start wrapping my head around this stuff. Even though the tutorials are done in Flex, with some fiddling I got it to work in Flash CS3.</p> <p>I posted this on Drupal.org initially but I imagine it makes more sense to post here:</p> <p>To accomplish this I needed an add-on class for Actionscript called JPEGExporter.as, part of a package called as3corelib which you can download <a href="http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/">here</a>.</p> <ul> <li>Install Drupal with Services, AMFPHP, and CCK</li> <li>Create a new Actionscript 3 Flash Document</li> <li>Grab the above mentioned as3corelib</li> <li>In your AS3 application, you can get your image into a BitmapData object, which you can run through the JPEGEncoder class, and then stuff that into the new AS3 ByteArray Class.</li> <li>AMFPHP supports ByteArrays, so you can send your ByteArray object off to a service you create in Drupal</li> <li>The service captures the ByteArray, and can then write the jpg to the files folder, and give it a unique filename</li> <li>The callback function which creates the JPEG can then return the value of the filename back to Flash again via AMFPHP</li> <li>In your Flash application you can now give it the url to your files folder, plus a variable that contains the unique filename, and from here you can use another service to write all of the data into a new node</li> <li>Of course you'll need a CCK textfield with the path to the image to do anything useful with the image, or you could get fancy and write it as an imagefield I suppose and use imagecache to further process your image</li> </ul> <p>I know it's a brief summary but if you are familiar with services and AMFPHP this hopefully should make sense. I can't believe I was able to get this to work, and it works FAST too. The encoding is done in the swf too which might take a load off the server should the site get hit hard with traffic.</p> <p>I'll try to post more info if anyone is interested.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/services">Services</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12446#comments actionscript 3 AMFPHP flash Services Sat, 14 Jun 2008 16:12:58 +0000 elliotttt 12446 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12404 <p>ello, i'm new to this group and to the service / amfphp modules. after following the flash 8 section in the services hand handbook [http://drupal.org/node/140893 ] i've got my flash site to connected to drupal, so a well happy. but i'm struggling to find out how to implement the api and session keys in as2; the as3 stuff seem really cool, but my site need run in as2.

Back in first week of august. - NOW BACK AT WORK </strong></p> <h3>Project information</h3> <p> In today's web, people do not like to share or exchange all their stuff on one service. Today, we prefer to use Flickr for photos, YouTube for videos, Amazon for shopping, etc. In order to make integration of different web services (in order to satisfy all customer/user needs), APIs using Services API in a secure fashion are used. To provide a secure way of this type of communication, OAuth open protocol is a very good option. The current system of API keys used by Services API is a combination of user name and password, but this key is too unsafe to share around on web. Also this key cannot be unshared once it is shared or handed over to other web service. The token provided by OAuth system will provide a much safer and risk free browsing experience to users.<br /> Integration of OAuth 1.0 core to Drupal's Service API will provide users/administrators a pluggable authentication system such that they can choose between the current system of API keys, or OAuth token system to access desired web services. The method OAuth uses is to provide “tokens” to users instead of keys. Now for each kind of web service, OAuth issues a different kind of token to user. Also, these tokens are time bound an amount of access time to another service and then it expires automatically (could be a two hour access time).</p> <p> Does this mean that OAuth is like OpenID?<br /> The OAuth approach might be considered better than the OpenID approach as users don't have to do anything to undertstand it. They just browse normally with their existing methods but in a secure manner. </p> <p> OAuth integration with Service API will rescue users, and developers, who put themselves at risk by sharing their private information. </p> <p> <strong>Important about this project</strong><br /> After discussing it with my mentors and looking at situations have decided to do this project as by not making an additional "oauth_services" module. We will be implementing OAuth's functionality to Drupal and Services by adding additional things to existing modules.

It also seems likely that the other Views services will be broken in Views 2. Anyone have any ideas what to do about this situation, if anything? Include a views_1_service and a views_2_service?

Today, we prefer to use Flickr for photos, YouTube for videos, Amazon for shopping, etc. In order to make integration of different web services (in order to satisfy all customer/user needs), APIs using Services API in a secure fashion are used. To provide a secure way of this type of communication, OAuth is a very good option. The current system of API keys used by Services API is a combination of user name and password, but this key is too unsafe to share around on web. Also this key cannot be unshared once it is shared or handed over to other web service. The token provided by OAuth system will will provide a much safer and risk free browsing experience to users.</p> <p>Integration of OAuth 1.0 core to Drupal's Service API will provide users/administrators a pluggable authentication system such that they can choose between the current system of API keys, or OAuth token system to access desired web services. The method OAuth uses is to provide “tokens” to users instead of keys. Now for each kind of web service, OAuth issues a different kind of token to user. Also, these tokens are time bound an amount of access time to another service and then it expires automatically (could be a two hour access time).</p> <p>Does this mean that OAuth is like OpenID?<br /> The OAuth approach might be considered better than the OpenID approach as users don't have to do anything to undertstand it. They just browse normally with their existing methods but in a secure manner.</p> <p>OAuth integration with Service API will rescue users, and developers, who put themselves at risk by sharing their private information.</p> <h3>Synopsis</h3> <p>By means of this project, I would like to contribute a module to the Drupal community which will make the existing Service API a pluggable authentication module such that users will be able to choose between existing API keys method or OAuth method to access other web services. Drupal's existing Services API implementation is pretty weak so integrating it with open protocol OAuth will enhance security features.</p> <h3>Plan</h3> <ol> <li>The main aim of project will be to put a layer of security on top of calls made Services API. Now this call from Service API will issue a token via OAuth 1.0 which will open up a separate session with remote services and then will make calls from there.</li> <li>OAuth core 1.0 does not presently provide any support for formats like – XML-RPX, JSON, AMF, REST, SOAP, end point detection, etc. which are used by Services API. So my aim will be here to build extensions over this to provide support for these features.</li> <li>Admin/users would be able to choose between existing API key methods or OAuth 1.0 token to access external web services.</li> <li>Developers will be able to add services over Services API using pluggable “service” module like the way they do before, but now the way of interaction of services with Services API will be using OAuth to make it more secure over current api key method.</li> <li>Second part of Services API the pluggable “server” module which allows support for other protocols like JSON, XML-RCP, SOAP, REST etc. will now send calls to security layer over Services API by OAuth instead of sending it directly to other web services.</li> <li>Now here extensions made by the student (for JSON, XML-RCP, SOAP, REST, end detection, etc.) will receive these calls and will issue a specific api key (token) according to service being called by Service API.</li> <li>The final api key or token issued will be using OAuth 1.0 core and will interact with requested web service without disclosing any potentially important information of user like passwords etc. <li>This method will be good to compatible with existing methods. Also we will try to reuse the web standards the best possible way.</li> </ol> <h3>Future Plans</h3> <ol> <li>Providing language support and automatically identifying this for user.</li> <li>OpenID integration with this.</li> <li>Make use of full range of available signing in algorithms.</li> </ol> <h3>Project Benefits To Drupal</h3> <ol> <li>Project completion will provide Drupal a module which will could be plugged in existing Services API such that it will make use of OAuth 1.0 core to issue tokens to access other web services over web.</li> <li>Extensions will be build over OAuth 1.0 such that it will support features like support for XML-RCP, JSON, AMF, REST, SOAP, discovery of end point etc(calls from Services API).</li> <li>Site users will be able to share their private resources like photos, videos, contact lists, bank account information, etc, stored on one site with another site without giving their user names and passwords to other site. So it will make our browsing secure and risk free over web.</li> </ol> <h3>Derivables</h3> <ol> <li>Investigation and learning : 1 weeks</li> <li>Programming Time : 7 weeks</li> <li>Bug Fixing and feature adding time : 3 weeks</li> <li>Documentation : 4 Days</li> </ol> <h3>Project Motivation</h3> <p>Drupal is a widely used and highly adopted CMS with millions of users all around the globe. With completion of my project I would be able to reach those people and will be able to make their browsing experience on web secure and risk less.</p> <h3>Biography</h3> <p>Rest in my application at google ....</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/soc-2008">SoC 2008</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10268#comments Semantic Web Services SoC 2008 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 19:29:20 +0000 Rob Loach 10268 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/10138 <p>One issue with the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/services">Services API</a> is its weak implementation of API keys.
