In order to run SIL Scripts via REST, use the SIL Common REST Service.
Basic Steps
When creating scripts for use with REST, follow these steps:
Create the script with hard-coded values and make sure it works the way you want it to.
Replace the hard-coded values with variables that accept arguments (the argv variable) when run from an outside source.
(optional) Test the script using the call() routine. This is an important step to test the script without the complications of a network.
Make modifications to the example curl script to test running the script.
I will break down each step with an example script that uses the createIssue() routine.
