Web services
The following restful endpoints are available:
Handler
All module management requests should hit /api/modulemanagement.
Schema
The module management schema is available at /api/schema/modulemanagement/managementrequest.xsd
Create
In order to create a module the create tag needs to be sent containing the name, modluecode, school and faculty tags.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<moduleManagementRequest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<modulecode>abc</modulecode>
<name>abc</name>
<school>abc</school>
<faculty>abc</faculty>
</create>
</moduleManagementRequest>
If the operation is successful the response returns the id of the created module in the id node and a message of 'OK' in the status node. The create tags id attribute is return in order for the external system to match up its request with the response. i.e. a request might contain 100 create requests, meaning we need to be able to identify the response to the specific request.

If the operation is successful the response returns the id of the updated user in the id node and a message of 'OK' in the status node. The create tags id attribute is return in order for the external system to match up its request with the response. i.e. a request might contain 100 create requests, meaning we need to be able to identify the response to the specific request.

Notes 1 - Roles
The only valid roles are as follows:
| Students | Staff Members |
|---|---|
| Student | Staff |
| Graduate | Inactive Staff |
| Left |
Students are assigned to a course, Staff emembers use the course field to assign there type. The supported staff types are as follows:
| University Lecturer |
| NHS Lecturer |
If you are looking to change a student user to a staff suer via the API (or vice-versa) then it is important to also supply the course.
Notes 2 - Modules
The current functionality of the usermanagement API is to only enrol users onto modules that have been provided in the modules element. No un-enrolment takes place. The reasoning behind this is that the usermanagement API is to be used as the initial creation/upadte of the users before the churn of an academic year starts. Once the churn starts the modulemanagement/enrol api should be used as this is more efficient at enrolling and un-enrolling users.
Handler
All module management requests should hit /api/modulemanagement/enrol.
Schema
The user enrolment schema is available at /api/schema/modulemanagement/enrolrequest.xsd
Enrol
In order to enrol a user onto a module the module id, user id and user attempt must be provided (the academic session is considered to be the current session unless provided).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<moduleManagementEnrolRequest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

</enrol>
</moduleManagementEnrolRequest>
If the operation is successful the response returns the id of the enrolement in the id node and a message of 'OK' in the status node. The create tags id attribute is return in order for the external system to match up its request with the response. i.e. a request might contain 100 create requests, meaning we need to be able to identify the response to the specific request.

External Systems
External system need to be provided with external id in all calls.
API clients can now be associated with an external system. It is expected only a sys admin user would not be associated with a specific external system.
XSDs
XSDs for each webservice are located at /api/schema.
Media Types
Supported media types:
- text/xml
Authentication
In order to use the web services defiend in the API you must be authenticated. Authentication is acheived via Oauth2.Rogo uses the bshaffer php library.
The steps to get an authorisation key are as follows:
Sysadmin users can add clients and specify the web services they will be authorised to use.
Once the client has been added the external client then needs to visit the following page on Rogo. e.g.
https://<your rogo server>/api/authorise.php?response_type=code&client_id=<your client id>&state=<random string>
The ‘state’ parameter is intended to preserve some state object set by the client in the Authorization request, and make it available to the client in the response. The main security reason for this is to stop Cross Site Request Forgery (XRSF).
An example of this would be a hash of the session cookie or a random value stored in the server linked to the session.
Client is required to login as user linked to the client account created in step 1.
The logged in user will then be asked to authorise the access rights given in step 1 to the client.
An authorisation token will then be generated and returned to the client, for example:
https:///www.example.com?code=a40c0bda3ec51090de84818263039c985f0a44e1&state=xyz
If the client verifies the ‘state’ value returned then it will reject authentication responses that were generated as the result of requests by third party attackers trying to log the user in in the background without the user’s knowledge.
Client site then uses Authorisation code to request access token, for example the request:
curl -u <your client id>:<your secret key> https://<your rogo server>/api/requesttoken -d grant_type=authorization_code -d code=a40c0bda3ec51090de84818263039c985f0a44e1
Would get a response like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<response>
<access_token>2bfbfd8a0d3d2b93bf37a1472a413ed3e1a1d80c</access_token>
<expires_in>1209600</expires_in>
<token_type>Bearer</token_type>
<scope/>
<refresh_token>9224f41003b7195e306bf9d8fa050b7124bf040d</refresh_token>
</response>
The access token can then be used to access web services until expiry. The refresh token can be used to refresh Access token until expiry.
From now on you can generate new access and refresh token using your current refresh token (saves you having to login an authorise again):
curl -u <your client id>:<your secret key> https://<your rogo server>/api/requesttoken -d grant_type=refresh_token -d refresh_token=9224f41003b7195e306bf9d8fa050b7124bf040d
The client can then call the web services with access token in a POST request, for example:
curl -k https://<your rogo server>/api/coursemanagement?access_token=f35371fc284defeaf3f1d273f73e992a8ce74fc4 -H "Content-Type:text/xml" -d "<courseManagementRequest xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"https://localhost/api/schema/coursemanagement/managementrequest.xsd\">
<create id=\"str1234\">
<name>rogotest</name>
<description>rogo test</description>
<school>test</school>
<faculty>test</faculty>
</create>
</courseManagementRequest>"
Configuration
The following config settings can be found in the rogo configuration screen:
cfg_enable_api | Enables or disables the API functionality |
api_oauth_access_lifetime | Stores in seconds the lifetime of an oauth access token |
api_oauth_refresh_token_lifetime | Stores in seconds the lifetime of an oauth refresh token |
api_oauth_always_issue_new_refresh_token | Enables or disables the oauth refresh token |
api_allow_superuser | Allow sys admin users to access all availbe external systems 6.5.0 onwards. |
Developer Tools
Logging of all API requests and reponses can be enabled by added the apilogfile config item in the configuration screen via the 'apilogfile' setting
Logging is only suggested for development servers as it will chew through your disk space.
