Store Naming

In the Platform API each store has a unique name and a URI.

Names

Store names may contain only the letters a-z, numbers 0-9 and hyphens. They may only start with a letter. Store names are always lowercase. We allow any name that follow those rules and are not offensive or potential trademark violations.

The store names are typically the same as the username of the administrator of the store.

Members of the n2 community may have any number of development stores. By convention, development stores are named as:

{username}-dev{num}

e.g. iand-dev1iand-dev2, etc


URIs

All stores are accessible as HTTP resources, with a common base URI of http://api.talis.com/stores/.

Therefore is you have a store called joetriple-dev1 its URI will be:

http://api.talis.com/stores/joetriple-dev1


A Note on Examples

The Platform API documentation contains a number of URI patterns and examples, e.g:

http://api.talis.com/stores/{storename}/meta

Be sure to replace {storename} with the correct name of the store you are attempting to access
