Connecting to the API
These are the steps to use the API:
- Connect to the API
- Create a new session for a user
- Call the desired methods, passing the session ID as argument
- Close the session
Connection example
The TermWeb API is configured at the URI /termweb/api by default, so if your TermWeb is installed at http://myserver.example.com/termweb the API is found at http://myserver.example.com/termweb/api.
The TermWeb API uses the prefix termwebapi2 for all methods.
The API URI can be modified in the web.xml file. See Getting started.
Example code
Connect to the TermWeb server:
connect('http://myserver.example.com/termweb/api');
Create a new session for guest user:

<methodResponse>
<params>
<param><value>123456789abc</value></param>

</methodResponse>
