Drupal Views

There are 2 views which drive the get requests for the endpoints. The views have a dependency on the views_php contributed module. These views are defined at: /admin/structure/views/view/cityscore/edit.

1. Display: Cityscore. This display provides a full Drupal page containing the current cityscore table of metrics. The "page" URL for this is /rest/cityscore/html-table. Because this is a fully themed Drupal page, it is more usual for the endpoint /rest/cityscore/html to be used, as that endpoint provides just the <table> HTML wrapped in a <div> tag.

2. Display: JSON Output. This display provides a JSON array with a single object being the current Cityscore total. The current Cityscore total is the mathematical average (mean) of all current non-null metrics. This view is available at the endpoint /cityscore/totals/latest.json. Because this is the output from a view, the JSON string is wrapped as an array. For backwards compatibility the endpoint /rest/cityscore/json is used.

Google Analytics

The endpoints provided at rest/cityscore/load , /rest/cityscore/htmland /rest/cityscore/json are all tracked on google analytics. Filter for pageviews named "/api".
