API

What users can and can't do using the API

Analytics

An API client communicates with the FotoWeb server by making HTTP requests, which roughly fall into two categories:
Requests that only read data (GET requests)
Requests that modify data on the server (POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, ... requests)

If the response body contains data, then it is usually in the JSON format (See http://www.json.org). Most programming languages these days have built-in support or mature third-party libraries for processing JSON data.

Every request sent to the server has a URL (uniform resource locator), which refers to a resource. A resource can be any object known to the server and exposed by the API, such as an asset, an archive, an album or a user. Each resource has a unique URL, which is also its ID. API clients should not compose or decompose URLs. Instead, the URL itself should be used as the ID of the archive.
An API client may read data from a resource, modify it, delete it, or create a new resource.
The FotoWeb RESTful API was designed to be as self-documenting as reasonably possible.

Customisation available

Description of customisation
FotoWare products are modular with options in each product to customise views, colours, metadata forms, markers, access to archives, workflow processes and access control. The possibilities are vast when the available modules are configured together. Listing all configuration options here is not possible here however what we can say is that we have been able to configure a solution for all of or clients to date. If a feature didn't exist in the product we were able to convince the manufacturer to add it or make a word-around.
Typically, with FotoStation Pro the user can customise the interface though typically, this best done by a system administrator to minimise errors. Server based products ( Index Manager, Color Factory, FotoWeb and Connect) are customised by an administrator. Most typical installations are configured to cater for all possible eventualities with access controlled for individuals or groups.
This provides you with the flexibility to configure often complex solutions but controlled so that end users are not overwhelmed with options and processes which can lead to confusion or mistakes occurring.

User activity (login, search, view, preview, add to process and more) is stored in an SQL database from which configurable reports can be created
Microsoft Azure cloud also has it's own metrics so you can monitor what effect our service has on your infrastructure.
