NAME

Koha::SVC

DESCRIPTION

Call Koha's /svc/ API to fetch/update records

This script can be used from other scripts as Koha::SVC module or run directly using syntax:

  koha-svc.pl http://koha-dev:8080/cgi-bin/koha/svc svc-user svc-password $biblionumber [bib-42.xml]

If called without last argument (MARCXML filename) it will fetch $biblionumber from Koha and create bib-$biblionumber.xml file from it. When called with xml filename, it will update record in Koha.

This script is intentionally separate from Koha itself and dependencies which Koha has under assumption that you might want to run it on another machine (or create custom script which mungles Koha's records from other machine without bringing all Koha dependencies with it).

USAGE

This same script can be used as module (as it defines Koha::SVC package) using

  require "koha-svc.pl"

at beginning of script. Rest of API is described below. Example of its usage is at beginning of this script.

new

  my $svc = Koha::SVC->new(
    url      => 'http://koha-dev:8080/cgi-bin/koha/svc',
    user     => 'svc-user',
    password => 'svc-password',
    debug    => 0,
  );

URL must point to Koha's intranet address and port.

Specified user must have editcatalogue permission.

get

  my $marcxml = $svc->get( $biblionumber );

post

  my $marcxml = $svc->post( $biblionumber, $marcxml );
