MateMonkey.com API v1

Base URL

The base URL for all requests is api/v1/, so for the main service http://matemonkey.com/api/v1/

Test API

The test API has been discontinued.

Documents

This section will specify all documents produced by API requests. The whole MateMonkey API is JSON, expect all documents to be JSON, even error information!

Error

When using a valid API URL with invalid/wrong parameters an error document will give you valuable information what went wrong.

{
  "title": "String, Reason for the error",
  "messages":
            [
              "String, Describing what went wrong",
              "String, Describing what went wrong"
            ]
}

The HTTP Status Code needs to be extracted from the HTTP Header.

Product

A product has the following format:

{
  "name": "String, Name of the Product",
  "id": "Integer, Internal ID of the Product",
  "type": "String, Type of Product",
  "slug": "String, Short Name for the Product",
  "image": "String, URL to an image",
  "description": "String, a short text describing the product"
}

type can be any of ['soft-drink', 'alcoholic', 'supplies', 'leaves', 'food'] and specifies the general type of the product.

Please note: image and description are currently not served!

{

  "postal": "String",
  "lat": "Float, Latitude",

Dealer API dealers/:id
URL /dealers/:id
Request PUT
Parameter id, internal ID
URL-Parameter None
Result Type application/json
Result Status 200 if successful
Result Content Dealer document with embedded address document

Simply provide a JSON document of dealer (see Dealer) and overwrite any attribute.

These attributes can not be changed directly using the API: id, currency, slug, created_at, updated_at.

When lat and lon are supplied and the values differ from the current values, the position will be updated in the database. This update will mark this address as updated using latitude and longitude values. This means that any change to street, number etc. will not change lat and lon. This feature can be used to change the position of a dealer when the position returned by the geocoding service is not correct.

Please note: The slug attribute can not be changed by changing the dealer's name.

Example changing address details

{
    "address": {
        "number": "23"

URL /dealers/:id/stock
Request POST
Parameter id ID of the Dealer
URL-Parameter None
Result Type application/json
Result Status 201 if successful
Result Content None

JSON Body

{
  "product": "Integer, ID of the product",
  "status": "String, Status of the product",
  "quantity": "String",
  "price": "Integer, Price of the product/quantity in hundreds",
  "special": "Boolean, True if the price is a special",
}

All values except product are optional to make the API as stateless as possible.

  • If only product is provided and this is the first entry for that dealer, status will default to unknown, price to '?' and quantity to piece.
  • If only product and status are provided, the information of the last stock entry (sorted by the creation date) will be used to fill in price and special. This will automatically update all quantities of that product unless quantity is provided.
  • If price is provided, an independent stock entry will be created with status defaulting to unknown, special to false, quantity to piece.

For the possible values of quantity, price and status, see the Stock Entry document specification

Exception: A price of -1 means that the price is unknown. When the entry is rendered, the price of that entry will be '?'.

Example 1

Request: api/v1/dealers/3416/stock

JSON Body:

{
  "product": 1,
  "status": "low"
}

This will set all entries for "Club Mate 0.5l" to low. The response status is 201 Created with an empty body.

Example 2

Request: api/v1/dealers/3416/stock

JSON Body:

{
  "product": 2
}

This will create a stock entry for "Club Mate 0.33l" with a price of -1/'?' for one piece (quantity) and a status of unknown.

Example 3

{
  "status":"full",
  "product":2,
  "price":150,
  "quantity":"piece"
}

This sets the price to 1.50 EUR (currency can be retrieved from the dealer) for one piece and the status to full for "Club Mate 0.33l".
