Technical Requirements

The HTTP header must contain the following elements:

x-omeda-appid: a unique id provided to you by Omeda to access your data. The request will fail without a valid id.

x-omeda-inputid: a unique id with which to process your request. If absent, the x-omeda-appid’s default inputid will be used. Contact your Omeda Customer Services Representative to obtain an inputid.

content-type: The default content type is application/json.

JSON is the preferred data exchange format, because it is lightweight and, in most cases, faster to process and utilizes less bandwidth. There are many available open-source JSON libraries available. See http://www.json.org for details.

Supported HTTP Methods

There is one HTTP method supported:

POST: See W3C’s POST specs for details.
