The Reaktor

The txtr Reaktor is the server infrastructure powering txtr.com.
You can access all functionality of the Reaktor via API from anywhere on the internet.

What can it do?

The Reaktor does everything txtr.com does, and more.

This includes document upload, download, conversion, metadata management, versioning, access rights management, presentation, discussion, search, and more.
(txtr.com doesn't use all the functionality the Reaktor exposes.)

How do I access it?

The Reaktor API has two components: The RPC (remote procedure call) part and the delivery part.
Delivery is dealing with binary data, that is: Upload and download of documents.
RPC is dealing with everything else.

The delivery component is always accessed through simple HTTP requests.

The RPC API can be accessed through SOAP, REST, or JSON.
SOAP, REST and JSON aren't different APIs, but merely three different kinds of encoding remote procedure calls.

To get started, you'll probably want to get some background information. Then, you can have a look at the API documentation, or some code samples.

The Reaktor API is, as is txtr.com, to be considered alpha.
We're not versioning the API right now, so your code may break as we evolve the API. That said, we're trying not to screw things up. Changes will be announced on our Weblog. Reach us at support [at] txtr.com.
