Hi, I read in this link that indico allows accessing the content of its database. I was wondering if it’s possible to modify the content also? like adding an event through API.
I got confused when I saw the check-in app. If it checks in a participant then it means there’s a database content modification happening.
The checkin app uses a special API (which is only accessible via oauth) that allows getting a registrant list and modifying the checkin status, while the more generic “http_api” is indeed mostly limited to retrieving data.
At some point we want to improve the API but so far we didn’t have the time to do that. I could imagine that - after making some general improvements - we start exposing endpoints used by parts of the frontend which are reactjs-based. Because those already use an (internal) API anyway, so exposing them to be accessed via an API token or OAuth would be easy.
Thanks for the explanation
