# EGroupware REST API for Addressbook
Authentication is via Basic Auth with username and a password, or a token valid for:
- either just the given user or all users
- CalDAV/CardDAV Sync (REST API)
- Addressbook application
Following RFCs / drafts used/planned for JSON encoding of resources
* [draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact: JSContact: A JSON Representation of Contact Data](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact)
([* see at end of document](#implemented-changes-from-jscontact-draft-08))
* [draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact-vcard: JSContact: Converting from and to vCard](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact-vcard/)
* [rfc8984: JSCalendar: A JSON Representation of Calendar Data](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8984)
### Supported request methods and examples
* **GET** to collections with an ```Accept: application/json``` header return all resources (similar to WebDAV PROPFIND)

Following GET parameters are supported to customize the returned properties:
- props[]=<DAV-prop-name> eg. props[]=getetag to return only the ETAG (multiple DAV properties can be specified)
Default for addressbook collections is to only return address-data (JsContact), other collections return all props.
- sync-token=<token> to only request change since last sync-token, like rfc6578 sync-collection REPORT
- nresults=N limit number of responses (only for sync-collection / given sync-token parameter!)
this will return a "more-results"=true attribute and a new "sync-token" attribute to query for the next chunk
The GET parameter `filters` allows to filter or search for a pattern in an addressbook:
- `filters[search]=<pattern>` searches for `<pattern>` in the whole contact like the search in the GUI
- `filters[search][%23<custom-field-name>]=<custom-field-value>` filters by a custom-field value
- `filters[<database-column>]=<value>` filters by a DB-column name and value
> Please note: filters use the database column-names, not JSContact property-names!

#### Implemented [changes from JsContact draft 08](https://github.com/rsto/draft-stepanek-jscontact/compare/draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact-08):
* localizedString type / object is removed in favor or regular String type and a [localizations object like in JsCalendar](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8984#section-4.6.1)
* [Vendor-specific Property Extensions and Values](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-jmap-jscontact-07#section-1.3)
use ```<domain-name>:<name>``` like in JsCalendar
* top-level objects need a ```@type``` attribute with one of the following values:
```NameComponent```, ```Organization```, ```Title```, ```Phone```, ```Resource```, ```File```, ```ContactLanguage```,
```Address```, ```StreetComponent```, ```Anniversary```, ```PersonalInformation```
