"Rules API Post" is a working example, with documentation, for replicating Drupal content to external systems. This module adds a Rules action plugin for POSTing content to a REST API, using the hal_json format.
Use this module to explore methods of working with REST. This code can be used as a starting point for building integrations between Drupal and other REST APIs.
(Fresh Service Data API)
Along with a simple Rules action plugin (API POST), two content types and a Rule Configuration are also included.
Our method uses Rest Services on Drupal, setup for the hal_json format. While still available and supported, hal_json has been moved out of Drupal Core.
We are planning to adopt jsonapi for the next (3.x) version of this module.
www.drupal.org/project/jsonap
Jsonapi has been moved into Drupal Core. One selling point is the support for file uploads.
See our module documentation for additional details.
