The following example demonstrates adding a resource and getting resource info by the ODS REST APIs briefcase.resource.store and briefcase.resource.get using the OAuth Test Tool. A full list of the ODS REST APIs for ODS-Briefcase is found elsewhere.

1. Go to http://demo.openlinksw.com/ods
2. Log in as user demo with password demo
3. Go to Settings -> OAuth Keys
   
   
   
   
4. Copy the Token value for a Briefcase instance, or create one if none exist. For example: 32e2a8fdddb69cb76b0e8309c42e5a7d008fdefc
5. Go to http://demo.openlinksw.com/ods/oauth_test.vsp
6. Complete the form as follows —

10. Now let's get the data for the created resource. Complete the form as follows —
    • API method: briefcase.resource.get
    • API parameters: path=/DAV/home/demo/Public/mytest
