Web Patterns Web Services

We feel that it's important for pattern collections across sites to share their collections with one another. That's why we've included the Web Pattern Web Services with each instantiation of this system. All Web Pattern Web Services are REST services that allows for easy construction of request URLs.

Request URL

http://your pattern site/pattern_api.php

Request Parameters
Parameter Value Description
sourceid string (required) A peer-assigned identifier to authorize the viewing of a pattern and/or pattern collection.
type string (required) The type of information to get back such as a list of all patterns in a collection ("patterntoc") or an individual pattern ("pattern").
id numeric This is actually required if you set the type to "pattern".

Sample Request
sourceid: demo
type: patterntoc
