  1. Go to http://demo.openlinksw.com/ods
  2. Log in as user demo with password demo
  3. Go to Settings->OAuth Keys
  4. Copy the Token value for an Calendar instance or create such in not existing. For ex.: dffa13c301c5915a4fb9c8c1ee7c69e2fad88454
  5. Go to http://demo.openlinksw.com/ods/oauth_test.vsp
  6. In the shown form enter for:
    1. Server: http://demo.openlinksw.com/ods/api
    2. Consumer Key: dffa13c301c5915a4fb9c8c1ee7c69e2fad88454
    3. API method: calendar.event.new
    4. API parameters: 

      inst_id=59&subject=test event&eventStart=2008.11.17T12:00&eventEnd=2008.11.17T14:00

      • An easy way to get the instance id is using the ODS Framework Controller instance.get.id: 

        $ curl -i "http://demo.openlinksw.com/ods/api/instance.get.id?user_name=demo&password_hash=4627dhe23cb53f522eag32e09gs7fceaw2c523449bdfdf&instanceName=mycalendar"

<result>
  <code>59</code>

      • You can also get the instance id using the ODS Ubiquity commands sequence: 

        ods-host http://demo.openlinksw.com/ods
ods-set-mode sid

ods-get-instance-id mycalendar

    5. Select for Query options: "Generate URI and Submit".
  7. Click the "Execute" button.
  8. Enter the password for user demo and click the "Login" button.
  9. In the shown authorization form click the "Authorize" button.
  10. As result will be shown the generated URI and the output message of executing the ODS REST API. In our case, the id of the new created event will be: 1683
  11. Now lets get the data for the created event. In the form enter:
    1. API method: calendar.get
    2. API parameters: event_id=1683
    3. Select for Query options: "Generate URI and Submit".
  12. Click the "Execute" button.
