Use IBM Lotus Quickr Web services to perform basic document management operations. Develop a Lotus Quickr Connector that lets you navigate a set of Lotus Quickr document libraries and invoke certain actions on individual resources within a library.

IBM Lotus Quickr makes it easy for users to share business content. An important design principle of Lotus Quickr is to build the application on open interfaces that let customers and business partners access content where and when they need it. Customers and partners need to interact with content from a variety of content repositories, using a diverse set of clients and programming models. Lotus Quickr Connectors interact with Lotus Quickr content using a set of published interfaces.

In this article, we introduce the basic operations you can perform using Lotus Quickr Web services and some of the best practices that you should follow when interacting with these services. At the end of this article, you should be familiar enough with both the layout of the services and the request-response patterns used that you can start developing your own applications that interact with Lotus Quickr content.

For information on other published interfaces for interacting with Lotus Quickr content, refer to the IBM Lotus Quickr Developer's Guide. For an introduction to Lotus Quickr REST services, refer to the companion developerWorks Lotus article, "Introducing IBM Lotus Quickr REST services."
