- shareddatakey: The key generated by an application representing a specific context (e.g. a page, post, section, group or other identified context)
- userid: An identifier (typically a hash rather than a real user Id) issued by an application representing the current viewer of the widget instance
- widgetid: The URI of the widget this is an instance of (optional, see below)
- servicetype: Where an individual widget is not requested by URI as above, this parameter should contain the category of widget to be instantiated, e.g. "chat"

Widgets
Action | Request | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| GET {wookie}/widgets{?all=true} |
| Returns an XML representation of the set of available widgets. Note that this does not require an API key. If the "all=true" parameter is omitted, the list only contains the default widgets for defined service types. |
| GET {wookie}/widgets/{service_name} |
| Returns an XML representation of the set of widgets that belong to the given service_name. For example, all widgets categorized as "weather". (See issue WOOKIE-10) |
| GET {wookie}/widgets/{id} |
| Returns an XML representation of the widget with the specified id. Note that in the current release this is the actual database key; future releases should implement this using the widget URI as the id. |
Services
Action | Request | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| GET {wookie}/services |
| Returns an XML document containing all services and any widgets associated with the service category. |
| GET {wookie}/services/{service_name} |
| Returns an XML representation of the service specified by service_name and all the widgets associated with it. |
| POST {wookie}/services/ {param:name} |
| Creates a new service with the name provided using the name parameter. If there is already a service with this name, a http 409 (conflict) error is returned. This method requires authentication using a widgetadmin role, e.g. using HTTP Basic authentication. |
| PUT {wookie}/services/{service_name} {param:name} |
| Renames the service specified by service_name with the new name given by the name parameter. This method requires authentication using a widgetadmin role, e.g. using HTTP Basic authentication. |
| DELETE {wookie}/services/{service_name} |
| Deletes the service specified by service_name. This method requires authentication using a widgetadmin role, e.g. using HTTP Basic authentication. |
Participants
A Participant consists of a participant_display_name, participant_id, and participant_thumbnail_url. Participants are always defined in relation to a specific Widget Instance; requests affecting one Participant have no effect on Participants associated with other Widget Instances.
...
- id: the participant id (not to be confused with Wookie's internal id of a participant)
- display_name: the participant display name
- thumbnail_url: the url of the thumbnail image for the participant
Action | Request | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| GET {wookie}/participants |
| Not supported. |
| GET {wookie}/participants {params: instance_params} |
| Returns an XML representation of the Participants associated with the Widget instance specified by {instance params}. |
| GET {wookie}/participants {params:id_key, api_key} |
| Returns an XML representation of the Participants associated with the Widget instance specified by {id_key}. |
| POST {wookie}participants {params: instance_params, participant_id, participant_display_name, participant_thumbnail_url} |
| Adds a participant to the specified Widget Instance. If successful, a HTTP status code of 201 is returned. If there is already a participant that matches {participant params} for the instance, a HTTP status code of 200 is returned. |
| DELETE {wookie}/participants {params: instance_params, participant_id} |
| Deletes the specified Participant from the specified Widget Instance. |
