Hi @hlohlo, From where do you make a call? Are you aware the API does not support CORS requests?

Hi @Aupuma, Knowing how to iterate through JSON seems like a very general problem when working with any JSON providing API. You can easily find the examples on how to do this online. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13573913/android-jsonobject-how-can-i-loop-through-a-flat-json-object-to-get-each-key-a Start accessing…

Hi @abonner, This is more about whether or not you are writing browser clients than using JavaScripts. In your case, you won't be able to use the API.

And just in case there is no definition - you should have checks…

Nice and thorough tutorial. A helpful tool for those who need XML output from OUP API. I personally find numbered step-by-step checklist easier to follow but paragraph of text works too.

Hi @gatebuzz, Thanks for pointing out link to swagger spec in your manual. We probably should add it to portal documentation. Anyway, a nice manual for Java developers.

Hi @gatebuzz . We have updated JSON schema. It's not exactly minimalistic approach. But it's definitely more accurate version. Hope it solves your problem.

Hi @gatebuzz. This is a correct path to pull JSON definition. We'll fix the spec shortly (in a day) and I'll come back to let you know that it's done.
