Intel Web APIs Registry Widget Documentation and Examples

• Embedding the widget in your page.
• Accessing the Intel Web API Registry data directly
• Browser and Device Compatibility

Here is the HTML & JavaScript to get the widget up and running.

  <div id="IntelWebAPIs_div"></div>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
    src="http://software.intel.com/sites/whatif/webapis/IntelWebAPIsRegistry.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    (function(){
      var webApiRegistryCtrl = new IntelWebAPIsRegistryWidget('IntelWebAPIs_div',{'statusbar':false});
    })();
  </script>

This HTML & JavaScript changes how many columns are displayed using the 'maxcolumns' configuration option.

  <div id="IntelWebAPIs_div"></div>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
    src="http://software.intel.com/sites/whatif/webapis/IntelWebAPIsRegistry.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    (function(){
        var webApiRegistryCtrl = new IntelWebAPIsRegistryWidget('IntelWebAPIs_div',
          {'maxcolumns':1,'statusbar':false});
    })();
  </script>

You can add a script node to your page as follows and then access the data through a JavaScript Object. This javascript object is the same data that is available in the JSON data below.

  <script type="text/javascript" 
    src="http://software.intel.com/sites/whatif/webapis/IntelWebAPIsRegistryData.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    (function(){
        var regDataObj = new IntelWebAPIsRegistryData();
        //do something with regDataObj or inspect in a DOM debug tool
        //window.check_this_stuff = regDataObj;
    })();
  </script>

You can also access the JSON data directly. This might be useful from server side PHP code or even stand alone app code can can handle JSON.

This is the data that is available as JSON or through IntelWebAPIsRegistryData.js:

  registry_data = {
    'version'   : string, // format major.minor.patch, ex: '1.0.0'

    //unique identifier of the api or widget or mashup in the registry
    //for each name in this array there is a key 
    //with the same value in the details object below
    'names'     : [
      string,
      //more names ...
    ],

    //details object : each key in this object matches a name in the names
    //array above.
    'details'   : {
      'entry_name' : {                // unique identifier of this entry - same as value in names array.
        'uid'           : string,     // unique identifier of this entry - 
                                      //   same as name 'string_name' of this object
        'type'          : string,     // type of this entry: api|widget|mashup

          'win32-ie'    :'./api/cpu/cpu-win32-ie.iwa',

        }
