| | This paper provides information for developer to write add-on solution on top or within of Afteroffice Server (AOS) environment.
The API is currently implemented on HTTP method, via TCP/IP. The Developer Add-on (DA) may query AOS with simple HTTP get/post query, thru a pre-defined commands set to the AOS host. In version 1.0 of AOS API, the AOS host must be configured to "listen" to a specific DA or else queries for non-authorised DA will be ignored. All commands based on version 1.0 API are compatible in 2.0, and behaved the same.
Version 2.0 API however do not require DA to register with AOS. The DA may query the server the same way as the browser does, as long as the authentication is true. DA in this case, is more like the browser, acting like a user. AOS will treat DA login as a regular user, but provide more option on generating the result back to DA.
