The CSV API enables users to interrogate the data store using a script or program, and receive data back as a stream of CSV (comma separated values) text, an empty string, or a return code.
Usage
The CSV API is intended to be used by a script or program. It can also be accessed using a browser, or using the wget command, though these would generally be used for testing. The following section describes the parameters required and values returned when using the CSV API. The query is specified as a URL of the form:
If you are using an appliance with https redirection enabled, you must use an https URL in your scripts. The redirection script changes the http request and the script will not work. To enable or disable https redirection, contact Tideway Professional Services.
The URL is entered on a single line. In these examples, appliance is the resolvable hostname or IP address of the appliance, search_string is a query string as recognized by the data store, username and password are the username and password of the Tideway Foundation user.
