I've just installed umbraco 6 and the uRest component and I get an error 500. Before attaching source code and going into debugging I would like to know if uRest is meant to have or going to have support for v6 or if V6 will have it's own rest interface?
uRest hasn't been tested with v6 yet, so it looks like it doesn't work.
Best I could suggest is maybe make some MVC controllers that retun JSON and explore the new data layer added to v6. You should be able to make rest interface pretty easily.
I also tried uRest in v6, and it worked fine to get a token and request for content, but I could not get it to accept post data, dunno if I did something wrong, I tried with RestConsole (in Chrome). I think I'll just wait for 6.1 which is supposed (http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-1560 ?) to have rest api built in.
hi, I am using Umbraco 6.1.5 and uREST 6.x package. It works well when i want to get list of media or documents. How can I get the media item itself? I mean, how can i get media data (image in stream of bytes for example)? I would like to show this image (.png or .jpg) using uREST on an Android device for example. This is crucial to me. Please can someone help. There doesn't seem to be a uREST API to get the media stream or binary data itself. The current API just gets the media metadata (its Url, name etc.)
uRest and Umbraco 6
uRest sounds really great.

Hi Matt
Thanks for your prompt reply. I will try your suggestion or go with a .wcf (though I love the idea of just using your module).

Hi Prasad
uRest doesn't have an api for accessing media streams. If you need a stream you'll have to get it by downloading the media file URL.
Many thanks

I am getting nothing but 404's when I attempt to call uRest URL's in 6.1.4
