# App endpoints for SDR forms

These are a few API endpoints that you can also use to run the app. To perform a command, alter this example to match your parameters:

```
http://*\{host\}*/pentaho/plugin/*\{pluginID\}*/api/*\{command\}*
```

Here are a couple of examples using some parameters:

* **Genre Selector API**

  ```
  http://localhost:8080/pentaho/plugin/SDR/api/genre
  ```
* **Example Response**

  ```
  {"metadata":[{"colIndex":0,"colType":"String","colName":"GenreID"},{"colIndex":1,"colType":"String","colName":"Genre"}],"queryInfo":{"totalRows":18},"resultset":[["Action","Action"],["Adventure","Adventure"],["Animation","Animation"],["Childrens","Childrens"],["Comedy","Comedy"],["Crime","Crime"],["Documentary","Documentary"],["Drama","Drama"],["Fantasy","Fantasy"],["Film-Noir","Film-Noir"],["Horror","Horror"],["Musical","Musical"],["Mystery","Mystery"],["Romance","Romance"],["Sci-Fi","Sci-Fi"],["Thriller","Thriller"],["War","War"],["Western","Western"]]}
  ```
* **Gender Selector API**

  ```
  http://localhost:8080/pentaho/plugin/SDR/api/gender
  ```

  {"metadata":[{"colIndex":0,"colType":"String","colName":"GenderID"},{"colIndex":1,"colType":"String","colName":"Gender"}],"queryInfo":{"totalRows":2},"resultset":[["M","Male"],["F","Female"]]}
  ```
