API.

There are two methods of showing data in a users own web site:

• An API to return the raw data.
• Special pages without the headers an menus that can be embedded eg with an IFrame.

API

There is an experimental API to allow return of the data into a users own web site. It is a REST Service and in theory will accept requests in these formats:

• application/json
• application/x-www-form-urlencoded
• application/xml
• multipart/form-data
• text/xml

and will return data in the following formats:

• bencode
• json
• jsonp
• php
• xml

which is what the settings in the Drupal Services modules say. I have created the following example codes to call it:

• PHP returning json using CURL to do the request
• PHP returning json using Pear HTTP_Request2 to do the request
• javascript returning json using JQuery to do the request

Feel free to copy these and amend as necessary. The requests are sent to https://ecflms.org.uk/lms/lmsrest/league with the appropriate type of request added as per the table below. For example for a table request, the URL would be: https://ecflms.org.uk/lms/lmsrest/league/table.json Each request expects 2 parameters

• org - the numeric organisation id which can be found by looking at the url for the home page, for example for the test league with url https://ecflms.org.uk/lms/node/10/home, the id is 10.
• name - as described in the table below

Request	Description	name
table.json	returns league table for a league event, a knockout table for a knockout event, or the standings for an individual event.	name of the event. Looks for events with this exact name in active seasons
match.json	returns the match cards for a team event or the round results for an individual event.	name of the event. Looks for events with this exact name in active seasons
event.json	returns the fixtures for a league event, a knockout table for a knockout event, or the rounds and dates for an individual event.	name of the event. Looks for events with this exact name in active seasons
club.json	returns the fixtures for a club.	Club code of the club

Plain Pages

The plain pages are just ordinary web pages that don't show all the headers and menus. The URLs follow a similar patern to the above. Here are a couple of examples.

• League table for division 1 in organisation nn. Note replace blanks by +. https://ecflms.org.uk/lms/league/plain/table/nn/Division+1
• Fixtures for club with ECF club code CCCC in organisation nn. https://ecflms.org.uk/lms/league/plain/club/nn/CCCC
