[Building Sakai] Roster data via REST?

[Poindexter, David Ray]

I'm pretty sure there isn't a way (and if there is there shouldn't be), to query sited (something unique) by name (not actually unique) and return only one unique result.

I may be misunderstanding the relationship, but I don't think that entityTitle is a unique ID in the model. You could get back one or many results.

Steve, Thanks (again…), but while I can see how to use /direct/site/….siteID.xml for site information,
How do I get the SiteID to do this?

I want to go from what that gives me as  <entityTitle> to the <entityID> which I need to run the site query and others.
Then from that I can get Roster, etc.

Just to be clear, so that I can get a roster via: /server/direct/membership/site/dc228507-e011-445c-aafc-6757341b9ffa.xml
I want something where I can start with “CS505-Fall2012” and get the SiteID to make that query.

The /direct/site/ seems to do the converse, given a SiteID I can query and get all sorts of stuff, including the Title (which is also used in the short URL).

Sorry for any novice dense-ness!

Hi Gregory,
Yes there is a provider to get the list of sites (/site). The idea is that you chains some of these requests together, ie get a list of sites, then for each site get a list of X.
cheers,
Steve

Sam (& Steve!),
Thanks.

Ah, searching for Keitai I see lots of stuff - need to explore more.
And I did find the REST URLS on the JIRA SAK below - thanks!!

They require a course ID - given a program dealing with the human-readable course names, is there some REST-full way to get the course ID to make these calls? I.e. to lookup course names?
