SharePoint 2013 APIs RSS Client Script Object Model Web Services REST 19
20
Whats covered in the new CSOM/REST APIs? 20 And much, much more!
21
Why is REST the best choice? Simple and Easy to Use Much easier to use than SOAP-based Web service Higher productivity when using JavaScript and jQuery Results can be returned in JSON and ATOM format Test in a browser 21
22
ODATA URIs URI has three significant parts Service root URI Resource path Query string options (select, filter) 22
23
REST URLs in SharePoint 2013 23 JavaScript Library Silverlight Library.Net CLR Library Custom Client Code Client Server _api is new alias for _vti_bin/client.svc REST OData JSON CSOM
24
Mapping Objects to Resources Example REST URLs targeting SharePoint sites _api/web/lists _api/web/lists/getByTitle('Announcements') _api/web/lists/getByTitle('Announcements')/$select=title,body,expirationdate 24
25
Response XML 25
26
ATOM XML or JSON? Response data format selected with ACCEPT header XML can be easier to deal with from managed code To get ATOM XML response use "application/atom+xml" JSON is easier to deal with when using JavaScript To get JSON response use "application/json" 26
27
REST Queries from Windows 8 Apps Use HttpClient object to GET SharePoint data Use HttpClientHandler object for authentication Add headers to request data in ATOM XML format Parse data with LINQ to XML 27
28
Data Templates Bind data to SharePoint fields Change look and feel of results Can be defined in: Page.Resources StandardStyles.xaml 28 …
29
Package.appmanifest Specify information about your app i.e.: Name, logo, supported orientations, splash screen Declares capabilities your app requires SharePoint typically requires: Enterprise Authentication (not for office 365) Internet (Client) Private Networks (Client & Server) (not for office 365) 29

33
Search Contract Great for SharePoint Add SharePoint Search to the Charms menu Touch friendly interface App automatically launched if not open Can be activated on keyboard input 33
34
Creating a Search Contract Use Search Contract Project Item Query search via REST Format XML into expected format Bind results to this.DefaultViewModel[Results] 34
