* What it does

services_views in combination with the Services module version 3.x and later 
allows you to access and retrieve views via a service endpoint.

* Prerequisites

Services module version 3.x and later is a dependency and you should read up 
about the different service callbacks available from that module and how to set 
up endpoints and resources.

* Configuring with an endpoint

Once you have an endpoint set up, visit the resources section of the endpoint 
and enable the views resource.

* Basic Usage

The most basic usage is http://example.com/my_endpoint/views/view_name which 
will retrieve the whole view.

A useful tool in firefox for testing services in general is the HttpRequester 
addon that lets you do all sorts of CRUD.

A basic example in HttpRequester

1.
* URL: http://example.com/my_endpoint/user/login
* Content type: application/json
* Content box: {"username":"blah","password":"blahblah"}
* Click post.

You should get a 200 ok reponse. You are now logged in.

2. 
* URL: http://example.com/my_endpoint/views/view_name
* Click get.

You should get a 200 ok response and a nice big blob of json containing your view.

* Arguments and Parameters to Views (limit, offset, args, display_id)

Based on the full details in the module:

services_views_retrieve($view_name, $display_id = 'default', $args = array(), 
$offset = 0, $limit = 10, $return_type = FALSE, $filters = array())

/**
* Callback for retrieving views resources.
*
* @param $view_name
*   String. The views name.
* @param $display_id
*   String (optional). The views display name.
* @param $offset
*   Integer (optional). An offset integer for paging.
* @param $limit
*   Integer (optional). A limit integer for paging.
* @param $args
*   Array (optional). A list of arguments to pass to the view.
* @param $return_type
*   String (optional). Whether to return the raw data results (FALSE), the entire views object ('view') or themed results ('theme').
* @param $args
*   Array (optional). A list of exposed filters to pass to the view.
*
* @return
*  Array. The views return.
*/

The arguments are passed in the usual url format, for example:
http://example.com/my_endpoint/views/view_name?display_id=default&args=123&offset=0&limit=10&return_type=FALSE

Multiple arguments can be used like this:
http://example.com/my_endpoint/views/view_name?display_id=default&args[0]=abc&args[1]=123&offset=0&limit=10&return_type=FALSE
