Found 10 minutes to play while something else was running, successfully retrieved some threads in Python. *thumbsup* |

Excellent  Any comments from anyone about the methodology, as viewed from the client-side? Badger - If you fancy emailing me the python script, I'll add it to the demo folder, to help give other Pythoners a head start. Generally - I've just cobbled together a route for creating a thread. It's another step up from just retrieving public data, but I think I've got it working ok. As part of a client request where insert/update/delete (or reading private data etc), the API requires you to supply a user ID. If you're using your own developer key, you're automatically authorised to CRUD in your own name - and the idea is that in time, other people will be able to authorise your app to work on behalf of their user. I'm not going to share this update just yet, because I think it'd play havoc with the other forum users if we all start creating threads. And secondly, although it's working ok, the word 'cobbled' doesn't please me - I want to go tidy my objects up, and smarten up the way the API responds to errors, before I add too many more methods. In theory though, it feels like the hard work in terms of getting ready for API users to post training files* *famous last words. |

"route for creating a thread" = confusing terminology No routes were run in the making of this API Perhaps "method for creating a thread" might be better. I've built the API in such a way that each method defines its required fields in a consistent way - so when we reach critical mass, I should be able to write a script that loops through all the methods and generates something like documentation for all the options. |

And I think "Pythoners" would be better as "Pythoneers" - it sounds more intrepid

Cool. It's all fairly typical from what I've seen across the 'net.

I've done a wee bit of tidying - if you do stuff like forget to request the token, you'll still get a well-formed JSON response, with an error message. Similarly, if you try calling a method that doesn't exist, you should get a tidy response in JSON.

Will send the script as soon as I'm back at a computer, which might be Sunday now (posting from phone on the A14).
