XML 4.1

Lets go through come calls and examples that you can do for each XML method.

Remember that Binary data methods will not return xml; just the file/data you have requested.

Non-Data Methods

handshake

  • MINIMUM_API_VERSION=380001

This is the function that handles verifying a new handshake Takes a timestamp, auth key, and username.

@param array $input @return boolean

'auth'string$passphrase (Timestamp . Password SHA hash) OR (API Key)NO
'user'string$username (Required if login/password authentication)YES
'timestamp'integerUNIXTIME() (Timestamp used in seed of password hash. Required if login/password authentication)YES
'version'string$version (API Version that the application understands)YES

Example

ping

Example

goodbye

  • MINIMUM_API_VERSION=400001

This takes a url and returns the song object in question @param array $input

InputTypeDescriptionOptional
'url'stringFull Ampache URL from server, translates back into a song XMLNO

Example

Data Methods

  • CHANGED_IN_API_VERSION=410001

Changes to text searches for 410001

  • Metadata Search is combined with text and numeric. Refer to the Metadata operator table to see the new order after adding regex to text fields.

Changes to text searches for 400001

  • 'is not' has been added shifting values down the list. 0=contains, 1=does not contain, 2=starts with, 3=ends with 4=is, 5=is not, 6=sounds like, 7=does not sound like
  • rule_1['name'] is depreciated. Instead of rule_1['name'] use rule_1['title'] (I have put a temp workaround into the search rules to alleviate this change for any existing apps)
  • Metadata Search is combined with text and numeric. Meaning that changes to text lists push the numeric fields down.

Perform an advanced search given passed rules. This works in a similar way to the web/UI search pages. You can pass multiple rules as well as joins to create in depth search results

Rules must be sent in groups of 3 using an int (starting from 1) to designate which rules are combined. Use operator ('and', 'or') to choose whether to join or separate each rule when searching.

  • Rule arrays must contain the following:
    • rule name (e.g. rule_1['title'], rule_2['album'])
    • rule operator (e.g. rule_1_operator[0], rule_2_operator[3])
    • rule input (e.g. rule_1_input['Prodigy'], rule_2_input['Land'])

Available search rules

Select the type of search based on the type of data you are searching for. (songs, playlists, etc)

Available search operators

Select your operator (integer only!) based on the type or your selected search

rule_1_operatorText / Tags / MetadataNumeric / user_numericDateBoolean, Numeric, Subsearch / Days
0containsis greater than or equal to / has lovedbeforeis true / before (x) days ago

6sounds like (Text Only)
7does not sound like (Text Only)
8matches regular expression (Text Only)
9does not match regular expression (Text Only)

Send the correct input based on the type of search.

rule_1_input
text
integer
boolean

NOTE To search metadata you need to add a 4th rule "rule_X_subtype" Operators for metadata are using the text/tag types AND numeric types in a single list as they can be ints/strings/dates. Currently there is not a simple way to identify what metadata types you have saved. New methods will be created for this.

Metadata operator table

6sounds like (Text Only)

9does not match regular expression (Text Only)
10is greater than or equal to
11is less than or equal to
12is
13is not

15is less than

To search a mixed type like metadata you must search using 4 rules.

  • Search rule 1 for band containing 'Prodigy', Search Rule 2 for bbm > 120
    • rule name (e.g. rule_1['metadata'], rule_2['metadata'])
    • rule operator (e.g. rule_1_operator[0], rule_2_operator[12])
    • rule input (e.g. rule_1_input['Prodigy'], rule_2_input['120'])
    • rule subtype (e.g. rule_1_subtype['4'], rule_2_subtype['9'])
