It's a PureBasic language.
Who can I contact with that?
Or I want too much?
P.S. Language isn't so new  It's new for CodeProject.

I decided to do a single HTML page that displays answer statistics, using the API (it's for fun, to get the idea of the APIs)...
Gone to register a secret key, but the Redirect URL, got me...
What it's about?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

As explained in the documentation, the CodeProject API uses OAuth 2 for Authorization. The redirect URL is the URL that you want the Authorization Server to redirect to, once it has asked CodeProject to Authenticate the user.
There is a link in the documentation to the OAuth 2 specification that explains this better than I can in a message.
If you plan to use one of the Flows that do not use browser redirection, then any valid url will do. Keep in mind that we may be removing the non-redirect Flows for security reasons.

Thank you...
What are you saying here, that I can not create a single-page, non-hosted HTML/JavaScript application...Or even a JavaScript based Chrome extension...
I consider it as a lack of possibilities...

Please look at any of the first four samples at [^].
These don't use the redirect URL. Just enter any valid https URL when you register.

I'm working on an application using the API that checks every 30 seconds whether there are new questions posted and if yes, it shows a notification balloon. But now I thought that it might not work if API data is cached for a long time, so I'm asking that here now.
Is API data cached? And if yes, for how long?

The API uses the same code to list information that the main site does, so you should see changes almost immediately.

Great, thanks!

Imagine if one out of ten-thousand CP users were all running software that accessed the site every thirty seconds: assuming 11 million members, that's 1100 users ... call it 1000; so, in 24 hours that would be 2,880,000 accesses.

That's true. But I think that isn't going to be a problem for the API. There are always 30k-50k CP members online according to the top-bar, so that's even more requests per 24 hours.

What you're asking about is what would be the default behavior.
It depends on what you're using to call this "API" and how you're calling it. Some jQuery stuff will cache and others won't.
You also have control over what is cached and what isn't in your ASP.NET code.

Gone quiet. Was wondering if any changes were in the pipeline?
Still interested.

Updated site UI and further work to the OAuth flows were the order of the week. Just deployed today.

Hi Matthew,
Just pulling down my\messages and noticed that parentId isn't populated.
Also, have you considered having the messages nested (parent-child)? Just a suggestion.

Would it be possible to get a numberOfMessages field?
So, if I have a Question that has 4 replies I would see something like:
"numberOfMessages":4
Cheers,
Ron

Since I'm using the same code that populates the Questions list on CodeProject, I should be able to add the number of answers and if it has a solution marked Accepted.
I may be changing the structures being form Messages and Questions to avoid confusion as to which fields have meaning, instead of trying to make one structure fit all.

Chris or Matthew,
What are the terms and conditions of using this data and the CodeProject name?
If one were to create a mobile app, can the word "CodeProject" be used? Logos? etc. Or, do you plan on going the "powered by CodeProject" route?
Thanks
Ron

I'm checking with Chris.
Please be advised, this is Beta, or even pre-Beta stuff, so any and everything can change so check the site for news.

No worries, Matthew. Understood.
|
|
|
|

First of all, fantastic news on your new API.
Would it be possible to get a Forum/all or Forum/list method, to return a name/value pair collection?
Thanks,
Ron

Ooh, that's a great idea. I like that. So, ++1 from me.

I hope you are looking for the discussion and programming forums as each article also has a forum.
It is something I thought I should add as well, but finding the time to squeeze it in ...

I'm assuming "discussion and programming forums" refers to the forums we are now in (on the web site).
Just looking for a way to present a list of Forums that a user may want to subscribe to, hence the name/value pair collection.
