New API: splitting names for retrieval of first, middle and last name(s) #1550

Closed sventhiel closed 7 months ago

sventhiel commented 9 months ago

What is your feature request all about?

Sometimes, you get only the full name of a person within BEXIS2. But for further processing, you need to separate the first, middle, and last name(s). Instead of doing that manually or through a self-designed method, it would be good to call an internal API.

How could/should a solution look like?

The system should provide an open API to call so that a full name will be split accordingly.

The api is up and running. Because of the potential length of long names, I set the method to be HTTP POST instead of HTTP GET.

Please try out this curl example: curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '"Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O%27Malley Armstrong"' 'https://dev.bexis2.uni-jena.de/api/names'
