Using TAO REST API to build my own UI

Hey guys,

I was searching for an e-testing open source platform/software that has an API to use for my own UI/app that will basically have my own:

  • MCSA (Multiple Choice Single Answer)
  • MCMA (Multiple Choice Multiple Answers)
  • Answers by order (e.g. simple dropdown menus)
  • Text answers

So, without building my own engine, I would like to benefit from TAO RESTful layer. I've been around the docs, and I can say they're pretty good written as in general, but in specific, I need some clarification about the REST API developed by TAO.

I've tested your composer packages to build the TAO server, but is there any composer packages that I can build exactly to fit my needs (my CRUD app) without using the whole product?

  • I get 406 status on endpoint (doc) e.g. GET on this resource /taoResultServer/QtiRestResults/getLatest with testtaker as mytaoserver/myinstance.rdf#ixxxxx same thing with delivery param

And I also don't understand why the params have an identifier like that (a uri)? Should I generate resource params like that when working on my app with the api?

UPDATE 1: I just forgot to include my auth creds (basic auth), still get a 400 Bad Request, which occurs when you include wrong params, but they're correct, see below:

curl -X GET --user user:pass --header 'Accept: application/json' -i http://MY-TAO-SERVER/taoResultServer/QtiRestResults/getLatest?testtaker=http://MY-TAO-SERVER/MY-INSTANCE.rdf#iXXXXXXXXXXX&delivery=http://MY-TAO-SERVER/MY-INSTANCE.rdf#iXXXXXXXXXXX
