OHS

OHS is Lockwood Publishing ’s API for their PlayStation Home spaces. It’s used by all of their minigames, including:

• Sodium One: Salt Shooter 
• Sodium Two: Project Velocity 
• Dream Yacht and its variations
• …many many more…

It’s a RESTful HTTP API, designed to be as generic and versatile as possible.

It also was responsible for serving many static files used by the games, under /static.

Requests

OHS is perhaps the only API to use a custom encoding language (that is, not JSON, XML or others).

It implements a custom language named Jamin, which looks somewhat like this:

tn1;ts4:data;ts4:user;s10:testname;;s6:method;s7:userid/;s7:project;s7:<dummy>;;n2;ts4:data;ts9:territory;s4:SCEA;s4:user;s10:testname;s9:buddylist;t;s6:gender;s6:female;s3:age;n18;s6:region;s5:en-US;;s6:method;s9:register/;s7:project;s1:x;;;

This corresponds to:

[
	{
		"data": {
			"user": "testname",
			"method": "userid",
			"project": "<dummy>"
		},
	},
	{
		"data": {
			"territory": "SCEA",
			"user": "testname",
			"buddylist": [],
			"gender": "female",
			"age": 18,
			"region": "en-US",
			"method": "register",
			"project": "x"
		}
	}
]

The Jamin data would be sent as multipart/form-data under the data text field.

Responses

Responses are expected as a Jamin-encoded JSON document as follows:

{
	"status": "success",
	"value": ...
}

This should then get wrapped inside of <ohs>...</ohs> and then sent in a HTTP 200 OK response for the same to accept it.
