User Web Service

Although it is disabled by default, there is a web service that returns all of the details for the currently logged in user.

Every operation and capability of Appkit can be invoked via REST-ful web service endpoints supporting both XML and JSON responses for asynchronous client-side operations, and integrating with external systems. For example, users can perform secure searches to any platform supported by Appkit.

You can invoked the User web service by adding this parameter to conf/security.conf:

webservice-enabled: true

The User web service can then be accessed via GET request at /twigkit/api/user for example:

http://my-twigkit-host/my-twigkit/twigkit/api/user
