Description
The Aggregator interface provides a way of talking to the aggregators through the ECKCore.
Invocation
The url for the interface takes the form /<aggregator>/<action>/<urlParameter1>/<urlParameter2>?parameters Where:
| URL Part | Description |

| action | The action to be performed against the aggregator |

Note: Not all aggregators support all actions, when the aggregator does not support the action or support has not been added for an aggregator the http status 400 will be returned with an explanatory message
Parameters
There is one general parameter that the ECKCore intercepts and takes notice off and that is rawRequired, if this is set to yes then the raw data returned from the aggregator will be passed back to the caller, if it is not set or not set to yes then we will not map the data to the generic format unless xml is being returned form the server.
Response
The data for all actions is returned as json
Testing
A simple test form is available from each of the action pages
