Unified API Gateway Documentation

Overview

This API gateway serves as a single entry point for all API services that were previously separate PHP scripts. Each service is accessed via a service parameter that routes the request to the appropriate functionality.

  • Missing required parameters return HTTP 400 with descriptive error messages

Security Considerations

  • All user-provided input is properly escaped using pg_escape_string()
  • SQL injection prevention through parameterized queries
  • Input validation for numeric and boolean values

Migration Guide

For Web Applications

  1. Update all API calls to use the new endpoint format
  2. Replace direct script calls with main.php?service={service_name}
  3. Ensure all existing parameters are preserved
  4. Test all functionality to verify compatibility

For JavaScript Applications

// Old approach
fetch('cam.php')
  .then(response => response.json())

// New approach
fetch('main.php?service=cams')
  .then(response => response.json())

For Server-to-Server Communication

// Old approach
$result = file_get_contents('http://yourserver/camapi.php?cams&lat1=...&lon1=...');

// New approach
$result = file_get_contents('http://yourserver/main.php?service=camapi&cams&lat1=...&lon1=...');

Testing

  • All services maintain the same output format as the original scripts
  • Backwards compatibility is preserved for parameter usage
  • JSON output remains consistent with previous implementations
