invoke

Description

Invokes a custom method on the application's ApplicationAdapter class. Note: HTTP to java RMI has limitations. Use String, Double (for numerics).

The invoke api is applicable only to custom developed Red5Pro applications and is used for invoking custom methods on the ApplicationAdapter. These custom methods may carry a business logic which is specific to the given application.

REQUEST

• URI:

  Copy

  http://{host}:5080/api/v1/applications/{appname}/invoke?accessToken={security-token}

• Method: POST
• Parameters:

Custom Method Invoke Object

{
  "method": "",
  "parameters": [ ]
}

RESPONSE

• Failure: HTTP CODE 400 or 404 or 500 or 401 See failure status code table for more information on error cause.
• Data:

{
  "status": "error",
  "code": <http-status-code>,
  "message": <error-message>",
  "timestamp": <server-timestamp>
}

• Success: HTTP CODE 200 - OK
• Data: Custom Json serialized object as per developer's return type in the invoked method.

{
  "status": "success",
  "code": 200,
  "data": {CustomResponseObject},
  "timestamp": 1467060941836
}

Example 1

Below is a sample of the ApplicationAdapter of a custom Red5 Pro application with a custom method called sayHello. The objective of the method is to recieve a clientname parameter and return a welcome message.

public class Application extends MultiThreadedApplicationAdapter
{
    private static Logger log = Red5LoggerFactory.getLogger(Application.class, "Application");
    public String sayHello(String name)
    {
        return "Welcome " + name;
    }
}

REQUEST

• URI:

  Copy

  http://localhost:5080/api/v1/applications/api/invoke?accessToken=xyz123

• Method: POST
• Data: JSON

{
  "method": "sayHello",
  "parameters": [
    "Tony"
  ]
}

RESPONSE

• Success: HTTP CODE 200 - OK
• Data:

{
  "status": "success",
  "code": 200,
  "data": "Welcome Tony",
  "timestamp": 1467193076102
}

Example 2

In this example we have a custom made application with a method to accept two integers and print the sum. Below is a sample of the ApplicationAdapter of a custom Red5 Pro application with a custom method called getSum. The objective of the method is to receive two parameters and return the sum.

public class Application extends MultiThreadedApplicationAdapter
{
    private static Logger log = Red5LoggerFactory.getLogger(Application.class, "Application");

    public Integer add(Double  a, Double  b)
    {
        return a.intValue() + b.intValue();
    }
}

Note that the parameters type is declared as Double. This is because any number in json is a float (contains decimal place). So if you pass 1 it is treated as 1.0. However when returning a result, you may return any data type which can be serialized into json.

REQUEST

• URI:

  Copy

  http://localhost:5080/api/v1/applications/api/invoke?accessToken=xyz123

• Method: POST
• Data: JSON

{
  "method": "getSum",
  "parameters": [
    1,
    2
  ]
}

RESPONSE

• Success: HTTP CODE 200 - OK
• Data:

{
  "status": "success",
  "code": 200,
  "data": 3,
  "timestamp": 1467193610836
}
