# Foodsoft API
|
|
|
|
Foodsoft provides a JSON REST API that gives access to operations like
|
|
like listing open orders, updating the ordergroup's order, and listing financial
|
|
transactions. Not all Foodsoft functionality is available through the API, but
|
|
we're open for new additions.
|
|
|
|
The API is documented using [Open API 2.0](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification)
|
|
/ [Swagger](https://swagger.io/) in [swagger.v1.yml](swagger.v1.yml).
|
|
This provides a machine-readable reference that is used to provide documentation.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** the current OAuth scopes may be subject to change, until the next release of Foodsoft.
|
|
|
|
## API endpoint documentation
|
|
|
|
>> [View API documentation](http://petstore.swagger.io/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Ffoodcoops%2Ffoodsoft%2Fmaster%2Fdoc%2Fswagger.v1.yml) <<
|
|
|
|
The above documentation can communicate with the API directly on a local development
|
|
installation of Foodsoft at [http://localhost:3000/f](http://localhost:3000/f).
|
|
|
|
You'll need to give access to the application first. This can be done by going to
|
|
_Administration_ > _Configuration_ > _Apps_ in Foodsoft. Select _New Application_,
|
|
enter any name, put `http://petstore.swagger.io/oauth2-redirect.html` in _Redirect URI_
|
|
and disable _Confidential_. After submission, you will have an _Application UID_ that
|
|
you can enter that as `client_id` after clicking _Authorize_ in the Swagger UI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Security
|
|
|
|
Uses the [Doorkeeper](https://github.com/doorkeeper-gem/doorkeeper) gem,
|
|
which provides an OAuth2 provider.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Authorization code flow
|
|
|
|
This is the recommended flow for server-side web applications, where
|
|
members login with Foodsoft, then redirected to the app, which then obtains
|
|
an access token using the authorization code supplied at redirection.
|
|
|
|
Before you can obtain an access token, the client needs to obtain an id and secret.
|
|
(You can currently skip this for the password credentials flow.) This needs to be
|
|
done for each Foodsoft scope by an admin.
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the _Apps_ button at the right in Foodsoft's configuration screen.
|
|
2. Click on _New application_
|
|
3. Enter any _Name_ and put the website of your app in _Redirect URI_ and _Submit_.
|
|
4. Click on the new applications' name for the app id and secret.
|
|
5. To quickly test, logging into the app, press _Authorize_.
|
|
|
|
Note that the user doesn't need to confirm that he is giving the app access to his
|
|
Foodsoft account by default, since apps can only be created by admins. If you
|
|
want to change that, see disable `skip_authorization` in `config/initializers/doorkeeper.rb`.

|
|
|
|
|
|
### Implicit flow
|
|
|
|
This is the recommended flow for client-side web applications. It looks a lot
|
|
like the authorization code flow, but when redirecting back to the app, the
|
|
access token is available directly as part of the url _fragment_ (`window.location.hash`).
|
|
|
|
This flow also needs to be registered in Foodsoft as in the authorization code flow,
|
|
but with _Confidential_ disabled. You only need the `client_id`, not the secret.
|
|
|
|
**note** please make sure you understand sections
|
|
[4.4.2](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6819#section-4.4.2) and
|
|
[4.4.3](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6819#section-4.4.3) of the OAuth2 Threat
|
|
Model document before using this flow.
|
|
|
|
You may find Doorkeeper's [implicit_grant_test](https://github.com/doorkeeper-gem/doorkeeper/blob/master/spec/requests/flows/implicit_grant_spec.rb) useful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Password credentials flow
|
|
|
|
To obtain a token using a username/password directly, you can do this:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
require 'oauth2'
|
|
c = OAuth2::Client.new('client_id', 'secret', site: 'http://localhost:3002/f/', authorize_url: 'oauth/authorize', token_url: 'oauth/token')
|
|
c.password.get_token('admin', 'secret').token
|
|
# => "1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef123456790abcdef1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now use this token as value for the `access_token` when accessing the API, like
|
|
http://localhost:3002/f/api/v1/financial_transactions/1?access_token=12345...
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
## Logout
|
|
|
|
When the user logs out of Foodsoft, all access tokens are destroyed, except when
|
|
the token's scope includes `offline_access` (so offline applications are possible).
