====== Explanation ======



WAPIC is a service self-hosted alongside CHAPI which allows the user to perform queries on their Control Data through an HTTP restful API.



====== Request Test System ======
  * Navigating to ../wapic/home/index.html at the WAPIC address will display the Request Test System page.
  * This page allows the user to create requests in a "fiddler"-like web page and submit them to the wapic server as well as receiving the responses back. Click for more info on [[http://fiddler2.com/|Fiddler]] .

The HTTP method can be selected from
  * GET
  * PUT
  * POST
  * DELETE



The URL text box will have a default value, but your wapic host address should be entered here (e.g. https://{some ip address or machinename}}/wapic/{Entity Type})



The acceptable entity types are:
  * AddressLinks
  * Addresses
  * CalendarActivities
  * Calendars
  * Companies
  * CompanyAddressLinks
  * CompanyAddresses
  * CompanyPhoneNumbers
  * ContactAddressLinks
  * ContactAddresses
  * ContactPhoneNumbers

When a request for data is successful, a clientid header will be returned along with the response. The clientid will automatically be appended as a query paramater for subsequent requests. Additional query parameters can be used to filter the data that is returned from the server including:
  * $filter
  * $select
  * $expand
  * $top
  * $skip
  * $orderby



Additional query parameter information roughly follows the documentation at [[http://www.odata.org/documentation/uri-conventions/#SystemQueryOptions|Query Parameters]]
