XML REST API
REST API Overview
The REST API is the original EnterMedia API. The list of available calls is vast and inclusive. It can be used to build custom front ends and other applications on top the DAM. Please note that we have since updated to a more inclusive JSON API that is recommended..Rest API Examples

Note: For users that are not an Adminstrator, you need to validate the user to make REST API calls. To do this you first need to get the key of the user, and then you need to pass it into the rest call as a parameter or in a cookie. The key is constant for the user, so you only need to get it once. To get the user key: demo.entermediasoftware.com/media/services/rest/login.xml?accountname=testuser&password=testpassword Then, you can pass in the key to a rest call (specifying entermedia.key): http://demo.entermediasoftware.com/media/services/rest/assetsearch.xml?entermedia.key=chrisrose708md5420b531795a0990917b700cb4d0b0b92408c0c50b2&catalogid=media/catalogs/public&field=description&operation=matches&description.value=*Other API's There is a Java file that You can download a full test of uploading and other API Download API Includes examples for: assetdetails assetsearch createcatalog deleteassets downloadfiles getpage importassets listcatalogs listcategories listdatachanges login removeassetimages saveassetdetails savedata search setthumbnail uploadattachment upload
