pmwwwgtalkvForum | | vForums API (25th Feb 08 at 12:18am UTC) | | As some of you may already know, an API has been in development for use with our forums. The basic framework for this API is almost complete. At the moment, its functionality is:
- Validate user login details
- Retrieve current user profile details
- Check user access permissions
- Retrieve recent posts per board/category or for the entire forum.
- Retrieve Forum Totals
- Parse Users Online
So I'm asking you as the developer community what additional functionality you would like to see incorporated in this API? I've never been a big user of APIs myself so would appreciate any feedback you may have on how you would intend to use it.
Thanks  | |

The current setup will grab the total number of PMs & the number of unread PMs whilst it grabs the rest of your profile data. Would you need an interface for getting more detailed PM information? | |

pmwwwskypeaimgtalk | | Re: vForums API (26th Feb 08 at 9:12pm UTC) | | Just a link to individual PMs and their subjects/senders would be cool, but that wouldn't be something that would make or break the API for me, so if it's too much of a server strain/hassle, don't worry about it.

The first couple of things come into the profile settings/information that is being accessible! | |

On the current system you'd only be given the number of posts, it doesn't automatically convert that into a rank/group \w images. So adding the formatted rank would be a good idea. | |

Here's to hoping it does, but again, not earth shattering if it doesn't.
