Servbank

From SPACE Wiki

Note: This component is currently maintained as part of SPACE but should rather be considered to be an external tool which is only useful in some combinations.

The ServBank keeps money in a virtual currency in accounts of behalf of its users. It also supports transactions between the accounts and an inspection of transaction logs. As the name suggests, ServBank works as a (RESTful) web service based on HTTP parametrisation.

ServBank comes with a client tool PayDay to run transactions based on logged service invocations in Access Gate and with an integration script to synchronise its user database with the ones in Noosfero.

Technologies

The bank service is written in PHP. The PayDay tool is written in PHP and Ruby.

Scientific Material and Documentation

ServBank ships with a simple RESTful API documentation in the README file.
