APS Catalog API Operations

To use the API, a client sends HTTP requests to APS Catalog that instructs it to perform a RETRIEVE or ADD operation over a resource.

A client performs RETRIEVE operations to obtain a specific index, feed, package source, package metadata, package certificate, or search description. To retrieve a resource, a client issues an HTTP GET request to the resource URL.
Important: APS Catalog processes feed requests differently from other requests. For details, refer to the APS Catalog Resources section earlier in this guide.
A client performs ADD operation to add a package to APS Catalog. Available methods are:
- A client submits the packageSubmitForm form to APS Catalog.
- A client submits and HTTP POST request to /packager/upload/ URL.
For details on the Add operations, refer to the Adding Content to APS Catalog section further in this guide.
