Koha RESTful api

Question

I\'ve been looking around the internet for information on Koha ILS restful api but I haven\'t found anything concrete. There is this link which talks about its HTTP API: http://

Answer 1

The HTTP API available in Koha is a well-established protocol, called SRU, for searching library catalogs. This is protocol is meant only for searching, not for updating records.

Secondly, even though SRU 2.0 provides option for transmission of records in JSON format, most implementations do not support it yet.

Coming back to your use case, Koha cannot store PDF documents. It is a process automation tool in a library for physical collections, which deals only with metadata records. For storing digital documents you should look for document management solutions, such as DSpace, or smaller and easier Omeka. DSpace provides its own REST API for searching as well as supports SWORD protocol for uploading documents.
