Web services

Koha provides a number of APIs allowing access to it’s data and functions.

OAI-PMH

Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) için Açık Arşivler Girişimi-Protokolü için iki ‘katılımcı’ grup vardır: Veri Sağlayıcıları ve Servis Sağlayıcıları. Veri Sağlayıcıları (açık arşivler, yazılım havuzu) metadata için ücretsiz erişim sağlar ve çok gerekli olmasa da diğer kaynaklara ya da tam metinlere de ücretsiz erişim imkanı sunabilir. OAI-PHM Veri Sağlayıcılar için kolay uygulanabilir, düşük bariyerli çözüm sağlar. Servis Sağlayıcılar metadata harvest etmek ve depolamak için Veri Sağlayıcılarının OAI arayüzlerini kullanırlar. Bunun Veri Sağlayıcılarına hiç bir canlı arama isteği olmayacağı anlamına geldiğini, hatta, hizmetlerin OAI-PMH aracılığıyla harvest edilen verilere dayandığını unutmayın.

Koha at present can only act as a Data Provider. It can not harvest from other repositories. The biggest stumbling block to having Koha harvest from other repositories is that MARC is the only metadata format that Koha indexes natively.

To enable OAI-PMH in Koha edit the OAI-PMH preference. Once enabled you can visit http://YOURKOHACATALOG/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl to see your file.

By default Koha won’t include item information in OAI-PMH result sets, but they can be added by using the include_items option in the a configuration file linked from OAI-PMH:ConfFile.

Note that the sample conf file below contains both marc21 and marcxml, because marc21 is the metadata prefix recommended by the OAI-PMH guidelines while marcxml was the only one in the sample before Koha 23.11 (and support for marc21 was added in Koha 17.05).

Sample OAI conf file

format:
  vs:
    metadataPrefix: vs
    metadataNamespace: http://veryspecial.tamil.fr/vs/format-pivot/1.1/vs
    schema: http://veryspecial.tamil.fr/vs/format-pivot/1.1/vs.xsd
    xsl_file: /usr/local/koha/xslt/vs.xsl
  marc21:
     metadataPrefix: marc21
     metadataNamespace: http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim
     schema: http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim.xsd
     include_items: 1
  marcxml:
     metadataPrefix: marcxml
     metadataNamespace: http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim
     schema: http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim.xsd
     include_items: 1
  oai_dc:
     metadataPrefix: oai_dc
     metadataNamespace: http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc/
     schema: http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc.xsd
     xsl_file: /usr/local/koha/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/xslt/UNIMARCslim2OAIDC.xsl

The options are:

  • xsl_file: Path to an XSLT file that will be used for transforming the Koha MARCXML data into the needed structure/format. It can be useful, for example, if you need some specific Dublin Core fields to be generated instead of just the default ones.

  • include_items: If set to 1, item information will be included in the response according to the MARC framework’s mapping.

  • expanded_avs: If set to 1, all coded values will the expanded with descriptions. This includes library names, item type descriptions, authorized value descriptions and classification source descriptions.

All these options can be used with different metadataPrefix entries, allowing the consumers to request one or the other.

SRU server

Koha, URL (SRU) protokolü üzerinden Arama/Getirme eylemini uygular. http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/ adresinde protokolün kendisi hakkında daha fazla bilgi bulunabilir. Uygulanan sürüm 1.1 sürümüdür.

Açıkla

If you want to have information about the implementation of SRU on a given server, you should have access to the Explain file using a request to the server without any parameter. Like http://myserver.com:9999/biblios/. The response from the server is an XML file that should look like the following and will give you information about the default settings of the SRU server.

ILS-DI

As of writing, the self documenting ILS-DI is the most complete interface. After it has been enabled as described in the ILS-DI system preferences section, the documentation should be available at https://YOURKOHACATALOG/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl

JSON reports services

Koha implements a JSON reports service for every report saved using the Guided reports wizard or Report from SQL features.

By default reports will be non-public and only accessible by authenticated users. If a report is explicitly set to public it will be accessible without authentication by anyone. This feature should only be used when the data can be shared safely not containing any patron information.

The reports can be accessed using the following URLs:

  • Public reports

    • OpacBaseURL/cgi-bin/koha/svc/report?id=REPORTID

  • Non-public reports

    • StaffBaseURL/cgi-bin/koha/svc/report?id=REPORTID

Bazı ek parametreler de vardır:

  • REPORTID tarafından rapora erişmek yerine raporun adını da kullanabilirsiniz:

    • …/cgi-bin/koha/svc/report?name=REPORTNAME

  • For easier development there is also an option to generate an annotated output of the data. It will generate an array of hashes that include the field names as keys.

    • …/cgi-bin/koha/svc/report?name=REPORTNAME&annotated=1

Versioned RESTful API effort

There is an ongoing effort to converge the APIs above into a single versioned set of modern RESTful endpoints documented using the OpenAPI standard and available by default under https://YOURKOHACATALOG/api/v1/

Full documentation for these APIs for your version of Koha can be found at api.koha-community.org.

OAuth2 client credentials grant

Koha supports the OAuth2 client credentials grant as a means to secure the API for using it from other systems to adhere to current industry standards. More information on the OAuth2 client credentials grant standard can be found here.

Kullanıcılar için API anahtar yönetimi arayüzü

In order for API keys to be create for patrons, the system preference RESTOAuth2ClientCredentials must be enabled for the option to appear in a patron record.

  1. Bir kullanıcı kaydına gidin ve Diğer> API anahtarlarını yönet seçeneğini belirleyin.

  1. Bir kullanıcı için API anahtarı yoksa, istemci kimliği/gizli çifti oluşturulmasını isteyen bir mesaj olacaktır.

image1337

  1. Enter a description for the client id/secret pair and click Save

image1338

  1. Koha, kimliği doğrulanmış bir istemci olarak diğer üçüncü taraf sistemlerden Koha’ya bağlanmak için kullanılacak bir istemci kimliği/gizli çift oluşturacaktır.

    image1339

  2. Bir API kimlik çiftinin yanındaki İptal düğmesine tıklandığında, yeniden etkinleştirilene kadar belirli kimlik bilgisi çifti etkin olmaz

Barcode image generator

Koha provides a barcode image generator on both the staff interface and the public interface. Both require a user to be logged in to use the service, to prevent abuse by third parties.

For example::

/cgi-bin/koha/svc/barcode?barcode=123456789&type=UPCE

The URL above will generate a barcode image for the barcode “123456789”, using the UPCE barcode format.

The available barcode types are: * Code39 * UPCE * UPCA * QRcode * NW7 * Matrix2of5 * ITF * Industrial2of5 * IATA2of5 * EAN8 * EAN13 * COOP2of5

If no type is specified, Code39 will be used.

By default, the barcode image will contain the text of the barcode as well. If this is not desired, the parameter “notext” may be passed to suppress this behavior.

For example:

/cgi-bin/koha/svc/barcode?barcode=123456789&notext=1

will generate a barcode image 123456789 without the text “123456789” below it.

This service can be used to embed barcode images into slips and notices printed from the browser, and to embed a patron cardnumber into the OPAC, among other possibilities.
