The API provides communication between the core CREDITS platform and third-party services based on Apache technology. Thrift is an interface description language that is used to define and create services for different programming languages. It is a framework for remote procedure calls (RPCs). Used as a scalable cross-language development service. It combines a software pipeline with a code generation engine to develop services that are more or less efficient and easy to use between languages such as C #, C ++, Delphi, Java, Perl, PHP, Python and JavaScript, etc. In other words, Thrift is a binary communication protocol. More information you can find in official Apache Thrift documentation.
You can find the specification and API methods in CS Thrift API description.Thank you for considering to help out with the source code!
