Open APIs

Hi all, 

According to Product Catalog Management API Conformance Template it is possible to apply filtering in GET operations. We can see that some filtering fields are mandatory or optional. My question is related to Mandatory filtering fields. As these fields are mandatory in filtering it means that, every time we use the GET (with no id) we need to send the mandatory fields? 

If mandatory means what I describe how can we list all the entities without filtering? 

Thank you

Hi Rui

Possibly a misunderstanding. In the context of the query, the word mandatory means that the API implementation must support filtering by these fields. It doesn't mean that the fields must be populated by the consumer when invoking the GET operation.

Hope it helps

Just another question @Jonathan Goldberg. I notice that the CTK runs a test to filter a resource per id, for example http://localhost:8087/tmf/v1/tmf-api/productCatalogManagement/v4/productSpecification?id=ciscofirepowerngfw_18

My question in, according to the Product Catalog Management API Conformance Template the filter per id is Not Applicable, what should be the behaviour, filter or do not filter per id?(In my understanding it's not necessary to filter per id as you have the GET with id)

Thank you

Agree with you that GET with id as a filter fields is superfluous. However it doesn't do any harm. If this is the worst defect that we have in the conformance test kit we are in a good place :) .
