Overview

Overview of Labii API
Labii API is a REST API and it supports all different calling methods.

URL

An object has two types of URL represent two different views:
  • List of objects
    {{base_url}}/{app}/{model}/list/{level}/{sid}/{serializer}/
  • Detail of an object
    {{base_url}}/{app}/{model}/detail/{sid}/
Wheres,
  • base_url=https://www.labii.dev/. If your organization has a dedicated server, the base_url=https://[your subdomain].labii.dev/
  • app, the name of the application. See here for more details.
  • model, the name of the model. See here for more details.
  • level, the scope of records to retrieve. See Levels for more details.
  • sid, Static and encrypted Labii object id. It has to match with level. For level=organization, the sid have to be the sid of the organization.
  • serializer, the scope of fields of the return data
    • name, return only sid and name, very fast
    • list, return selected fields of the objects, fast
    • detail, return all fields of the objects, slow

Levels define the scope of records to retrieve. It is a required parameter for list API. These levels are used at Labii:
  • organization: return the results within the organization level
  • user: return the results for a particular user (deprecated)
  • project: return the results for a project (deprecated)
Not all levels are available for all list API. Error of HTTP_406_NOT_ACCEPTABLE will return if a wrong level is used. The table below lists all allowed levels:
