SDC API - Content On-Demand


Introduction


The SDC API, part of the Content-On-Demand project, is an evolving data entrypoint for suppliers and receivers of data alike. The overarching goal is to provide performant, best-in-breed webservices tailored to our members' needs.

Please review our terms of service.


Getting Started


A rate limit of 60 calls per minute has been implemented. Your rate is tracked and returned to you in the HTTP response header "RateLimit-Remaining", counting down from 60 and resetting each minute.

The first step in accessing the API is getting a security token. This token can be reused for subsequent API calls. Provide your PIMS (or SEMA Search) username and password

https://sdc.semadatacoop.org/sdcapi/token/get?userName=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD

Note: The SDC API response format is JSON by default. We encourage all of our partners to use this extremely lean format as less data will be transferred by comparison to XML.

To request XML data delivery, please specify "Accept: text/xml" in your request header.
For further reading on the benefits of JSON, click here.


On valid authentication, the token response will reply with a success property true and your token, or false, with a reason on why the authentication failed. Example success response:

JSON response
                    {
                    "success": true,
                    "message": "",
                    "token": "abcd12345"
                    }
                    
XML response
<tokenresponse>
  <success>true</success>
  <message />
  <token>abcd12345</token>
</tokenresponse>


Receiver / Export Methods


Brand Datasets

Brand datasets retrieves the list of authorized brands a receiver is authorized for. A request for a brand's data must be submitted to and approved by a supplier before it will be populated in this API call.

https://sdc.semadatacoop.org/sdcapi/export/branddatasets?token=YOUR_TOKEN
JSON response

Export Plans

Export plans are the "push" exports that you have preconfigured. If you've scheduled an export through PIMS, all of those exports' information is accessible through this method call. These exports can be executed on-demand regardless of their scheduled time. Typically, your scheduled exports will run as expected -- if you happen to have the need to re-run an export programmatically, refer to this method as apporpriate:

Content Pages


The SDC now provides a page to display content for various items. You can now use the API to display a product (and future others planned).


Content Token

You need to request a content token and use them in the querystring when accessing these pages - this token expires and is an extra layer of security.

https://sdc.semadatacoop.org/sdcapi/token/getcontenttoken?token=YOUR_TOKEN


On valid authentication, the token response will reply with a success property true and your token, or false, with a reason on why the authentication failed. Example success response:

JSON response
{
"success": true,
"message": "",
"contenttoken": "abcd12345"
}
XML response
<contenttokenresponse>
  <success>true</success>
  <message />
  <contenttoken>abcd12345</contenttoken>
</contenttokenresponse>
