Booth Documents/Links OpCode DC: Create or Update Booth Document/Link

Booth Documents/Links OpCode DC: Create or Update Booth Document/Link

This opcode is used to add a document/link to the specified Booth, if it doesn’t already exist, or update the content if it already exists. The Booth to add/update the document to may be identified via the BoothKey, BoothExternalID, or BoothTitle parameters.

Document/Link attachments can be links (URLs) or actual files uploaded to the system. When adding URL links, no special treatment is necessary. However, when uploading files, certain steps must be taken. File uploads must be the only opcode specified in the OpCodeList. This means that uploading files must be done as separate calls to the API. Additionally, uploading of files must be done using HTTPS multipart form posts.

Calling the API

The API is called via a secure HTTPS request. This HTTPS request may be a GET or POST operation (except for file uploading which requires a multi-part form post). Each request must supply the authentication credentials assigned to the caller by Notified. Only requests with valid credentials will be processed. These credentials identify the caller and provide access only to a specific customer area.

The format of the call is: https://api.onlinexperiences.com/scripts/Server.nxp?LASCmd=AI:4;F:APIUTILS!50550&APIUserAuthCode={YourAuthCode}&APIUserCredentials={YourCredentials}&OpCodeList={Opcode[OpCode[…]]}&OutputFormat={X|H|T(default)}&{Additional, opcode-specific parameters in name=value format…}

Note: The format of the APAC Data Center is: https://api.apac.onlinexperiences.com.

Specific parameter ordering is unimportant, with the only restriction being that the first parameter MUST BE LASCmd=AI:4;F:APIUTILS!50550. All other parameters may appear in any sequence order.
