Hello, when I call “URL;http://localhost:8080/rest/xbrl/C:\a.xbrl/facts?media=xml&labelLang=name&factListCols=Label,contextRef,unitRef,Dec,Value,EntityScheme,EntityIdentifier,Period,Dimensions”, I get following error:

When I call the same thing with only one column, it will work just fine.
Please try the current download, I believe this issue is fixed.
i wish to parse xbrl file using java.i hav xbrl file as input.how i can do this ? .What r steps i need to follow?.Is this java program is helpful for me?
This project is Python (not Java). There is an example of a Java interface, using the web service, in the example folder of the github source code. If you want to know if it is helpful please be specific and clear about your requirements and goals.
Thank you sir
i tried that one.But i got error shown below.
soumya@soumya-K52Jc:~/Downloads/Arelle-Arelle-da0c9c7/arelle/examples$ sudo javac LoadValidate.java

i wish to know how this web interface works.i mean what’s step must follow to get output.?
Sorry Sir,
My goal is to parse xbrl file using java program and extract the data from file.I thought, in your java program the line (string variable ) what you printed is output for me .so i choose this way to parse xbrl.but i’m stuck with the error mentioned above.
Hi, I wanted to know if this webservice is hosted at any web server and is available for consumption for client applications online?
Users have been hosting on their own servers or laptops. The open source project doesn’t run a commerical service. Please send an e-mail to support@arelle.org on your requirements.
Hi,
I have setup the web service API on my local. written a .Net wrapper around it. so far so good. when we Validate how do we get specific error codes, sometimes these codes will decide a go or no go further into the actual extraction of the xbrl. for instance if the Arelle is not able to load a taxanomy it returns a bunch of text. but would be helpful if it throws an exception or an error code so that the developer will decide if we need to proceed further.
Thanks
The logger output via plain text is difficult to automate. I suggest instead that you try the xml (or json) logger output (&media=xml). These other output forms provide the error code, the severity level, messages not only in text but the arguments to the text string (so you can customize the messages), and provide filtering for severity level, hrefs to each error cause, and property descriptions of the objects causing errors.
Thanks, I like this product. I was able to extract a cash dividend using the Web service and I changed my output for validation to xml. when I get facts I get the first line:
Label,,Seq,contextRef,unitRef,Dec,Value,EntityScheme,EntityIdentifier,Start,End/Instant
Question 1:
why I am getting an empty ,, after Label.
Question 2:
how do I relate the facts I got from facts and the concepts. I see contextRef in facts but it is not returned in concepts.
Please let me know is there a way I can relate these two.
Q1: The extra ,, looks like an error in determining tuple depth in CSV output (will fix for next build). If there were tuples, extra columns are needed to show the indentation under tuples. (Bugs can be reported via http://arelle.atlassian.net).
Q2: contextRef is only in instance documents, so it is shown on fact output, but contexts are not part of the taxonomy (so they are not shown on concept listing). The facts can be related by their label (if unique) or their qname (&labelRole=XBRL-concept-name would specify that the facts list should show the QName instead of standard label)
Thanks for the quick info, I was searching through the documentation for different combinations of parameters. is there any location that has full documented list.
I will log the bug for Tuples. is it not possible to return same number of columns incase of fact and tuple. otherwise the mapping would be difficult we load the data into a relational.
Thanks
i am using web service to extract information../FactTable works fine.. but how can i combine FactListCol along with FactTable.. so i can get all hierarchical data with values..
also /FactTable displays instead i want how can i do that ?
This is a good idea, the improvement will be to add the FactListCol feature into FactTable.
Please track this issue at: https://arelle.atlassian.net/browse/ARELLE-179 (the atlassian issue tracker is the right place to enter these kind of improvement requests.)
we are planning to automate the launching of Arelle web server and closing the command window end of day. right now we can only launch the console by invoking
“C:\Program Files\Arelle\arelleCmdLine.exe” –webserver localhost:8080
How can we pass a command to close or stop the web service console instead of manually preccing crtl-c. please let me know if there is a way or you want to incorporate
There’s a command /rest/stopWebServer. I’m not able to get it to work correctly on Windows. I suggest adding an issue to arelle.atlassian.net if you need this feature debugged. Also let us know the platform you are using.
Thanks Admin,
I will raise the issue for /rest/stopWebServer. We are working on Windows platform.
you can shellexecute the URL for rest API for the shutdown: /rest/stopWebServer on windows and it should work (it does for me).
Thanks for response.. one more question.. so FactTable gives which is the link… but what if i want the description from Schema XSD file..something like 001 …? also is there a way to filter out all disclosures that come in SEC company fillings, from actual result…
Hello Admin, I have been evaluating this product since couple of months. like the product and the performance in parsing the instance documents.
I have a question, how do we get the foot notes from an Instance, is it retrived in the fact list itself? or we need to pass in an extra parameter.
Hello,
i’m testing the web service for some time now. Receiving all concepts, the presentation linkbase and the calculation linkbase works just fine for any given taxonomy! What i need is to get all information available for concepts that resides in the lable and reference linkbases. Is there any way to achieve this? It would be great if you could help me with that!
Another question is, would it be possible to run the server using Linux?
Best regards,
Nils Wilhelm
Is there a possibility to run the webservice on a dedicated windows server as a windows service?
Yes, I think so, there are several articles you can find by Google on python as a windows service, they would involve some serious source code level work. The webservice uses Python Bottle, which is pretty general (for example it runs fine on Google App Engine). However interfacing the python language environment as a Windows Service may need more in-depth Python and Windows experiences. It may also be possible to interface the command line interface to a windows service (vs. the webservice under Python Bottle).
If you need professional support on this topic to assist in source code level integration, please contact support@arelle.org.

Can I use a UNC location for the file instead of a local path in this url?
/rest/xbrl/{file}/validation/xbrl
I’ve tried using this form with no joy:
/rest/xbrl/\\servername\directory\file.xml/validation/xbrl
I’m not sure if the \\servername will get through right. Have you tried the alternate format, /rest/xbrl/validation?file=c:/a/b/c.xbrl or is there an ip address for servername such as file=http://192.168.1.1/a/b/c.xbrl ?
Thanks for the answer.
We ended up putting the file to validate behind a web server and using the following form:
http://servername:8080/rest/xbrl/http:;;WebServerName;VirtualDirectoryName;filename.xml/validation/xbrl?media=text&formulaAsserResultCounts
We’ve noticed that when we make a call to the Validate, the file is copied to the cache directory and subsequent calls used the cached file, even if the original is modified.
How can this caching be disabled?
Thanks for reporting this, JIRA ticket is https://arelle.atlassian.net/browse/ARELLE-324. The entry point file (such as an instance document) and any other local-authority files (of a submission) need to be timestamp checked to see if they’ve been replaced (but not the standard taxonomy files, such as xbrl.org, fast, or firs).
There seems to be a bug with generating output files when using Arelle as a webservice. Generating a facts.xml file using the command line works fine, but when I do the same using the Arelle webservice, it outputs a very different format. BTW, I am using an unreleased build dated July 06.

I verified that the problem also exists in the June 14 release
Wondering if there is a way to retrieve the actual unit, rather than the unitRef when using the web API to generate a factlist? Looking at the code, it appears that no option exists. The unitRef is much less useful as it can vary from filing to filing.
Hi,
We have setup the Arelle web service API on my local.
And have executed the query for a filling with view=facts and media=json (below is the example for the query)
http://localost:8080/rest/xbrl/view?file=http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000119312515023697/aapl-20141227.xml&view=facts&media=json
We would like to process the JSon response and store the data in our application.
In the JSon response for facts, I could see there are duplicate name \ label entries – by looking at the contextRef , we could identify that it is for the previous fillings (with the data for the previous fillings) – seems that contextRef naming seems to be inconsistent;
How could we determine the data name \ label to be used for the determining the values for current fillings (can we remove the duplicate).
I am trying to use the web services in IIS. I have followed the instructions and I can get the help page and the about. But when i try to do anything else all I get is the following:
Arelle CGI Services
?help Help web page, CGI services.
?about About web page, copyrights, license, included software.
REST API The Arelle REST API is supported through CGI if the entire CGI path is wildcard-mapped to the arelleCmdLine executable.
When I run the web server supplied everything works properly. Any ideas.. I am guessing it is a permissions issue possibly and can not write to a directory. The Arelle temp directory has IUSR rights. But What i can not figure out is where Arelle puts the files when I upload. I thought it would put it in the temp directory but when I run iis or the supplied web server it does not put it in the temp directory. Any help would be appreciated. If you need more info let me know
I’m not sure where they go by default, it would be something like /users/???/AppData/Local/cache. The environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME or parameter –xdgConfigHome can be used to provide a different location for the cache of web-retrieved files.
Hi I am new using arelle I need to implement arelle´s web services on diffrente aplications . somebody can help me? Thanks in advance.
need more information. what kind of application, what kind of web services, etc. Please try arelle-users google groups or support@arelle.org
Is there a way to limit the data loaded by document type(s)?
I would like the database to for US Public XBRL to only contain information for document types 8-Q, 8-K, 10-Q, and 10-K. May I please ask how I could do this, as it would also cut down the database size.
It would be possible to adapt the coding that loads the database to filter for document types, this would probably be in the applicable plugin module.
Do you know which modulle/plug-in by name would be best to edit?
