MediaFrame API
The MediaFrame 7.0 RESTful web api includes three sets of services: foundation, asset and notification. The foundation services are provide basic functionality and information which is very generally laid across the whole of MediaFrame. The asset services provide basic query functionality as well as lookups between assets and their related components. The notification service provides mailbox-style notifications about changes to metadata and the state of the system.
The services are implemented using .Net and the Windows Communication Foundation but are easily accessible through HTTP using four basic HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. All of the data is provided in an XML format which is documented here.
