C# Code Sample: Retrieve Links to a Page

The following code example retrieves all outbound internal links on the home page:

Sample Code

Plug p = Plug.New("http://deki-hayes/@api/deki");
p.At("users", "authenticate").WithCredentials("admin", "password").Get();
p.At("pages", "home", "links").With("dir", "from").Get();

Sample Response from executing Code

Sample response indicating that there is one outbound link to "Page Title":

<outbound count="1">
    <page id="31" href="http://deki-hayes/@api/deki/pages/31">
        <title>Page Title</title> 
        <path>Page_Title</path> 
    </page>
</outbound>

Curl Code Sample: Retrieve Links to a Page

The following command retrieves a list of inbound/outbound internal links to page "foo" according to the value (to/from respectively) appended to the "dir" parameter.

Sample Code

curl -u username:password -i http://mindtouch.address/@api/deki/pages/=foo/links?dir=to (or from)

Sample Response from executing Code

A link in page "bar" points to page "hello", so there should be one outbound link for page bar:

{pageid} = bar

?dir=from

Content-Type: application/xml

<outbound count="1">
  <page id="578" href="http://192.168.59.128/@api/deki/pages/578?redirects=0">
    <uri.ui>http://192.168.59.128/hello</uri.ui>
    <title>hello</title>
    <path>hello</path>
    <namespace>main</namespace>
  </page>
</outbound>

Naturally, page "hello" has one inbound link from page "bar":

{pageid} = hello

?dir=to

Content-Type: application/xml

<inbound count="1">
  <page id="565" href="http://192.168.59.128/@api/deki/pages/565?redirects=0">
    <uri.ui>http://192.168.59.128/Bar</uri.ui>
    <title>Bar</title>
    <path>Bar</path>
    <namespace>main</namespace>
  </page>
</inbound>

Implementation notes

curl flags

-u: Provides external user authentication. Note that if anonymous access is available and authentication is not forced, this flag may be omitted.
-i: Outputs the HTTP response headers. Useful for debugging.
