Quick API question

E Bradburn	Friday 20 June 2008 12:33:33 pm Hi Folks! I'm looking to evaluate EZPublish but am having some trouble locating any information on API code or external-facing hooks. Basically, I'm looking to leverage some of the workflow, shop and object creation features of EZPublish in order to interface with a third-party system. Is there anywhere I can get a look at a documented API or how does EZPublish interact with third-party systems? I'm not really looking to do anything that fancy: essentially, the EZPublish system would accept external requests to create instances of objects (say - a product) and then offer the usual CMS interface to a user logged-in and wishing to manipulate these objects. Any pointers would be much appreciated - EZPublish certainly seems to have the features I need - I just can't seem to find much info on utilizing these features via a 3rd-party system.
Felix Laate	Friday 20 June 2008 11:13:14 pm Hi E, as for API information, have a look here http://pubsvn.ez.no/. Also have a look at ezpedia, e.g. http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/developers. Creating a module that accepts http requests to create objects and provides admin/user interfaces to consume these objects is not very difficult. And there are other ways to interact with 3rd-party systems as well, e.g. SOAP (http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/development/libraries/ez_soap/consuming_web_services_with_ez_soap_client).

Is there anywhere I can get a look at a documented API or how does EZPublish interact with third-party systems?
