Services

A standardized solution for building API's so that external clients can
communicate with Backdrop.

Goals

• Create a unified Backdrop API for web services to be exposed in a variety of
  different server formats.
• Provide a service browser to be able to test methods.
• Allow distribution of API keys for developer access.

Once downloaded, you need to add spyc.php to the rest_server/lib folder, which
exists under the location you have installed the Services module in.
