API Examples
============

Example with cURL
-----------------

From the command line:

```bash
curl \
-u "jsonrpc:19ffd9709d03ce50675c3a43d1c49c1ac207f4bc45f06c5b2701fbdf8929" \
-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "getAllProjects", "id": 1}' \
http://localhost/kanboard/jsonrpc.php
```

Response from the server:

```json
{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "id":1,
    "result":[
        {
            "id":"1",
            "name":"API test",
            "is_active":"1",
            "token":"6bd0932fe7f4b5e6e4bc3c72800bfdef36a2c5de2f38f756dfb5bd632ebf",
            "last_modified":"1403392631"
        }
    ]
}
```

Example with Python
-------------------

You can use the [official Python client for Kanboard](https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard-api-python):

```bash
pip install kanboard
```

Here an example to create a project and a task:

```python
from kanboard import Kanboard

kb = Kanboard("http://localhost/jsonrpc.php", "jsonrpc", "your_api_token")

project_id = kb.create_project(name="My project")

task_id = kb.create_task(project_id=project_id, title="My task title")
```

There are more examples on the [official website](https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard-api-python).

Example with a PHP client
-------------------------

You can use this [Json-RPC Client/Server library for PHP](https://github.com/fguillot/JsonRPC), here an example:

```php
<?php

$client = new JsonRPC\Client('http://localhost:8000/jsonrpc.php');
$client->authentication('jsonrpc', '19ffd9709d03ce50675c3a43d1c49c1ac207f4bc45f06c5b2701fbdf8929');

print_r($client->getAllProjects());

```

The response:

```
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1
            [name] => API test
            [is_active] => 1
            [token] => 6bd0932fe7f4b5e6e4bc3c72800bfdef36a2c5de2f38f756dfb5bd632ebf
            [last_modified] => 1403392631
        )

)
```

Example with Ruby
-----------------

This example can be used with Kanboard configured with Reverse-Proxy authentication and the API configured with a custom authentication header:

```ruby
require 'faraday'

conn = Faraday.new(:url => 'https://kanboard.example.com') do |faraday|
    faraday.response :logger
    faraday.headers['X-API-Auth'] = 'XXX'      # base64_encode('jsonrpc:API_KEY')
    faraday.basic_auth(ENV['user'], ENV['pw']) # user/pass to get through basic auth
    faraday.adapter Faraday.default_adapter    # make requests with Net::HTTP
end

response = conn.post do |req|
    req.url '/jsonrpc.php'
    req.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
    req.body = '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "getAllProjects" }'
end

puts response.body
```


Example with Java
-----------------

This is a basic example using Spring. For proper usage see [this link](http://spring.io/guides/gs/consuming-rest).

```java
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.util.Base64;

import org.springframework.http.HttpEntity;
import org.springframework.http.HttpHeaders;
import org.springframework.http.MediaType;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;

public class ProjectService {

    public void getAllProjects() throws UnsupportedEncodingException {

        RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();

        String url = "http://localhost/kanboard/jsonrpc.php";
        String requestJson = "{\"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\", \"method\": \"getAllProjects\", \"id\": 1}";
        String user = "jsonrpc";
        String apiToken = "19ffd9709d03ce50675c3a43d1c49c1ac207f4bc45f06c5b2701fbdf8929";

        // encode api token
        byte[] xApiAuthTokenBytes = String.join(":", user, apiToken).getBytes("utf-8");
        String xApiAuthToken = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(xApiAuthTokenBytes);

        // consume request
        HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
        headers.add("X-API-Auth", xApiAuthToken);
        headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
        HttpEntity<String> entity = new HttpEntity<String>(requestJson, headers);
        String answer = restTemplate.postForObject(url, entity, String.class);
        System.out.println(answer);
    }
}
```
