REST API: POST miniview rules

Method to add a rule to an existing mini selection from a collection (miniview, see view documentation for selections from a database). This is an HTTP POST call to the following URL:

https://api.copernica.com/v2/miniview/$id/rules?access_token=xxxx

The $id should be replaced by the ID of the miniview you want to add a rule to. The name of the rule and other values should be added to the message body. After a successful call the ID of the created request is returned.

Available parameters

The following properties can be assigned to a rule in the message body. At least the name of the rule is required.

  • name: Name of the rule. This should be unique within the set of view rule names and is mandatory

PHP Example

The following PHP script demonstrates how to call the API method:

// dependencies
require_once('copernica_rest_api.php');

// change this into your access token
$api = new CopernicaRestAPI("your-access-token", 2);

// data to pass to the call
$data = array(
    'name'      =>  'rule-name'
);

// do the call
$api->post("miniview/{$miniviewID}/minirules", $data);

// return id of created request if successful

The example above requires the CopernicaRestApi class.
