Attribute

Properties of an attribute.

Name	Type	Description
id	int	Unique ID of the attribute.
name	string	Unique name within your user account
execute_always	bool	Even if the date is past, the entry belonging to this attribute will always be executed once per API-Key (when the date isn't more than 60 days past)
no_db	bool	Entries created for this attribute won't be saved in the database. They are only sent once over the socket server
rights	string, RO	Readonly: Specifies the rights of the currently authenticated token for entries created with this attribute. This field can contain the values read, write and all
sort_order	int	Indicates the ascending sort order of the attributes in all responses
exec_response	bool	Deprecated: The response of the execution is returned to the client. no_db is always true for this type. The entry will be executed immediately
execution_response	ExecResponse	The response of the execution is returned to the client. See the below description of the object Exec Response for more information
parameters	AttributeParameter	Available parameters for this attribute. See the below description of the object Attribute parameter for more information

Exec Response

With the field execution_response you are able to receive an execution response for your script execution. This contains the messages written to stdout and stderr and the exit code. Take a look at Create single entry for an example response.

Name	Type	Description
enabled	bool	Weather this feature is enabled
default_timeout	int	The default time to wait for an execution response in seconds (0 - 60 seconds). If no response of the clients is received, an error is returned
allowDelayedExecution	bool	By default, the attribute must be of type no_db and the execution is performed immediate. This field disables these two "restrictions". Please take in mind that you may not receive an execution response as a result of entry creation

Attribute parameter

An entry can be created with up to six parameter values. The number of available parameters and these settings are managed over this object.

Name	Type	Description
id	int	Unique ID of the parameter
name	string	Unique name of the parameter in the context of an attribute
position	int	Position of the parameter while calling a program
type	string	Data type of the parameter. Available values are text, number, boolean
force_preset	bool	The entry has to use one of the predefined values and cannot provide a value by itself
presets	ParameterPresets[]	Predefined parameter presets for this parametes

Parameter presets

To make the management of available parameter values for an entry easier, predefined values can be specified for an attribute that the entry may use. These are always created in the context of a specify attribute and cannot be reused across other attributes.

Each parameter contains the following fields.

Name	Type	Description
name	string	The unique name of the parameter within the attribute. This name will also be displayed in the client as the parameter
name_short	string	A short abbrevation name where the full parameter name would be too long (e.g. for the fast overview)
value	string	The value of the parameter which will be used for executing the program
sort_order	int	Indicates the ascending sort order of the parameters in which they are returned to the client

Warning

Even though all fields of the parameters can be updated, it is not recommended to remove or update the name of a parameter. This could lead to problems for existing entrys because the paraemter cannot be resolved anymore.

Attribute parameter (old, deprecated)

To make the management of available parameter values for an entry easier, predefined values can be specified for an attribute that the entry may use. These are always created in the context of a specify attribute and cannot be reused across other attributes. Even though the parameters can be updated it is not recommended to remove or update the name of a parameter. This could lead to problems for existing entrys because the paraemter cannot be resolved anymore.

The following additional fields are available for attributes (deprecated).

Name	Type	Description
force_parameter	bool	The entry has to use one of the predefined values and cannot provide a value by itself
parameter	Parameter[]	The available parameter values for this attribute

Parameter properties (deprecated)

Each parameter contains the following fields.

Name	Type	Description
name	string	The unique name of the parameter within the attribute. This name will also be displayed in the client as the parameter
name_short	string	A short abbrevation name where the full parameter name would be too long (e.g. for the fast overview)
value	string	The value of the parameter which will be used for executing the program
sort_order	int	Indicates the ascending sort order of the parameters in which they are returned to the client
