Proposal for a new way to access the API resources

• Andrea Ceccanti (Universita e INFN, Bologna (IT))
• ALBERT ROSSI (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory)

Quote from Andrea Ceccanti: I would propose to consider the possibility of extracting the activity from the bulk-request payload, i.e. having a separate resource for each activity. This would make it easier to develop the API, make it easier to configure authz privileges based on the activity type (e.g., FILEINFO will require different privileges than DELETE or STAGE). Also, you wouldn’t need the generic “arguments” claim in the activity description, since each activity could have its own data representation object with the minimum information that makes sense for that activity. Andrea and Albert can present their proposal for this new way of accessing the API resources. The minimum set of functionalities we will provide in common are documented here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zx_H5dRkQRfju3xIYZ2WgjKoOvmLtsafP2pKGpHqcfY
