SLiMSuite REST tools

This page gives the SLiMSuite tools available as REST services. For general REST help, see: http://rest.slimsuite.unsw.edu.au/help.

Addition of REST services for SLiMSuite tools is ongoing and the list below may be incomplete. All tools that can be accessed through the SLiMSuite module can, in principle, be accessed via the REST service. However, not all tools will have useful output returned. Please contact me if you want additional REST services from SLiMSuite added.

To test where program is accessible via the REST interface, try:

http://rest.slimsuite.unsw.edu.au/program&rest=help

If the program docstring is returned, see if specific REST out formats have been documented:

http://rest.slimsuite.unsw.edu.au/program&rest=outfmt

If in doubt, try running it with full output and see what is returned:

http://rest.slimsuite.unsw.edu.au/program&rest=parse

(Note that most programs will need additional input options to run. See http://rest.slimsuite.unsw.edu.au/help.)
