# EGroupware REST API for InfoLog

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)
- InfoLog application

Following RFCs / drafts used/planned for JSON encoding of InfoLog entries
* [rfc8984: JSCalendar: A JSON Representation of Calendar Data](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8984)
* [links sub-collection to add attachments and links to other application-entries](Links-and-attachments.md)

### Used JSCalendar Task schema to encode InfoLog entries plus EGroupware&InfoLog specific extensions:
* stock JSCalendar Task attributes like: `uid`, `title`, `start`, ... (see above link)
* `@type` is always `Task` independent of InfoLog type, see `egroupware.org:type` below
* `progress` stock values: 
  * `needs-action` (InfoLog `not-started`)
  * `in-progress` (InfoLog `ongoing`)
  * `completed` (InfoLog `done`)
  * `cancelled`
  * `egroupware.org:<infolog-status>` (all other status supported by InfoLog use a `egroupware.org:` prefix)
* `percentComplete` integer value between 0 and 100
* `participants` contains task-owner (role `owner`), responsible users (role `attendee`) and CC'ed (role `informational`)
  * participants is an object with either the numerical user-id or the email address as attribute-name and an object with the following attributes:
  * `name` of owner, responsible or CC'ed
  * `email` email-address
  * `kind` always `individual` or `group` for groups (other kinds are NOT supported)
  * `roles`: are NOT explicitly stored
    * `attendee` responsible user or group of the task
    * `infomational` CC'ed email addresses to keep informed / send notifications to
    * `owner` this is the task owner, which might or might not be also an `attendee`
  * other attributes like `participationStatus` are currently NOT persisted by InfoLog
* `egroupware.org:type` InfoLog type like `task`, `phone`, `note`, `email`, also custom InfoLog-types admin has created
* `egroupware.org:completed` completed date&time
* `egroupware.org:price` float value with price, if set
* `egroupware.org:pricelist` integer ID of used price-list (readonly)
* `egroupware.org:customfields` custom-field object, if custom-fields are defined by admin and used in the entry
* `relatedTo` object with UID of parent-entry as attribute-name and object as value with attributes
  * `@type` `Relation`
  * `relation` and value `parent`, other relation types are NOT supported
* you can use the [`links` sub-collection](Links-and-attachments.md) of each entry to add relations/links to other application-entries
* InfoLogs primary link can also be created via the [`links` sub-collection](Links-and-attachments.md) with a`rel` of `egroupware.org-primary`

### Supported request methods and examples

#### **GET** to collections with an `Accept: application/json` header return all resources (similar to WebDAV PROPFIND)

</details>

The 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 calendar collections is to only return calendar-data (JsEvent), 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 InfoLog entries:
- `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 JSTask property-names!

Examples: see addressbook
