At this point our only option would be to revise the API version and provide an added property. Simple for us but potentially a breaking change for those mapping strongly typed variables to our output.

I want to explore the CodeProject API, can someone please point me to a starting point for this?

fixed. Both Chris and I keep forgetting the one special step in deploying this.

I may be beating a dead horse here but I am experimenting a bit with the CodeProject API creating a C# wrapper for it to (perhaps some day) be used in a Xamarin app as I am keen in learning Cross-Platform development with Xamarin.
Anyhow I have things pretty much worked out but I am curious about the FormMessages API. Both calls in that API require a ID to be passed (forum ID or thread ID) but I am at a loss as to get those ID's... Is there a way that I can retrieve those ID's through the API (I.E. am I missing something blatantly obvious) or is that still missing from the API? If so then how would I get access to those ID's?
Regards,
Jan

A forum ID can be found from the URL of a forum. Here is the full list of forums.[^]. For example ".NET Framework" is 1650.
Each message has a "Permalink" whose URL contains an ID. The "thread ID" is the permalink ID of the top-level message, the thread.

I was afraid of that... Having to extract the forum ID's from links of the forum overview page kind of defeats the purpose of have an API. I know the API is "early beta" but it has been that way for so long that I expect it is not going to get updated any time soon.
Well... I will figure out if, and if so how I am going to deal with this.
Thanks for pointing me to the forum overview page.

Jan

Damn, that is an obvious omission. I'll try and find some time to add something to list the common forums. In the mean time, you can look at Discussion Boards[^] to get a list of these.
I won't be able to list ALL the forums as the comments at the end of each article is a forum as well.

Thanks. Good to hear that there is still activity on the API development as time permits. For now I decided to "mock" an API call to return a list of available forums (which will return a static ItemSummary list for now). When you get around to implementing something it should not be to difficult to replace that mock.
As for the forums at the end of an article a pointer to that should ultimately be returned through the GET V1/Articles call. That would probably mean an extra field in the ItemSummary but that way they are accesible as well.

Jan

Is the api down at the moment?
|
|

In the my/articles api, there doesn't appear to be an element that represents the number of views or downloads. Is there a tangible reason for these to be omitted?

I guess the new and improved deployment script still has some bugs...

Nope, just making sure everybody uses them.

Using the My API, you can get your articles, blog posts and tips. But references are missing there. I think it would be useful if they were there too, so could they please be added?

I'm not entirely sure what the ObjectTypeName, ObjectId and Topic members of NotificationViewModel point at. When I tested them for a notification for a comment to an answer, I got "Article" for ObjectTypeName, the answer ID for ObjectId and "Comment" for Topic. But when testing the same for a message on an article forum, I got "Forum Message" for ObjectTypeName, the message ID for ObjectId and "Forum Message" for Topic. This looked a bit odd to me because it was entirely different for the comment to the answer.
How do these properties actually work?

Sorry, we have an error in our new and improved deployment script that is resulting in the incorrect configuration file being deploy. I'm doing a deploy the tried and true way and the site should be up in a few minutes.

Thanks Site is up and running.

Not so improved now, is it?
