This method is used to supply a list of available items within the ARK instance. It will return a JSON array of all the different modules within ARK and their relative ids and itemkeys.

Path

http://your.ark.instance/api.php?req=describeItems

Arguments

This method has no mandatory arguments, although if anonymous logins are not enabled a username and password will need to be supplied:

  • handle - username
  • passwd - password

The method returns a JSON array unless otherwise specified:

  • format - 'json' by default, but sending 'html' prints a human-readable array to screen

Example

http://your.ark.instance/api.php?req=describeItems&handle=johndoe&passwd=johndoepassword

Example return (returned JSONified - displayed as an array here for ease of viewing):
