#!/usr/bin/env sh
# Call an HTTP API on the local YaCy peer, authenticated as administrator, then print the result on the standard output
# Almost the same as apicall.sh, except that wget doesn't print information messages to the standard output, only the result
#
# $1 : API path
#
# $YACY_DATA_PATH : path to the YaCy DATA folder to use. When not set, the relative ../DATA path is used as a default.
#
# Authentication options :
# - enable unauthenticated local access as administrator : set adminAccountForLocalhost=true in the DATA/SETTINGS/yacy.conf file
# - OR use the legacy Basic HTTP authentication mode (unsecured for remote access): set the "auth-method" to BASIC in the defaults/web.xml file
# - OR use the Digest HTTP authentication mode : set the "auth-method" to DIGEST in the defaults/web.xml file. 
#   With that last option, the script will run in interactive mode as default, prompting for the administrator password.
#   To run in batch mode, you must first export an environment variable filled with the clear-text administrator password before using this script :
#    For example with > export YACY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=your_admin_password
#
