Overview

The REST API describes the (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) of the people resource to be used by stoney core, stoney conductor and other Self-Service Modules or third party applications.

Basically, we want to be able to do the following things:

  • Create a new person (POST).
  • Retrieve multiple people in the form of a list (GET).
  • Retrieve a single person (GET).
  • Update an existing person (PUT).
  • Update one or more values of an existing person (PATCH).
  • Delete a single person (DELETE).

To get an idea what happens behind the screens, have a look at the stoney core: People Resource Mapping (REST - LDAP) documentation located in the Mapping (REST - LDAP) category.
