There's a lot that you can do with our API. Essentially it allows your application (web, desktop, mobile, etc) to tap into DaniWeb's backend. Your own application can …

Been running a couple of article queries this morning. When running `http://www.daniweb.com/api/articles?forum_id=61` I encountered what looks like a bug. The 11th thread reply coming back in the query is the following: { "title":"please help me .........", "related":[ { "id":"" } ], "posters":[ { "id":"1098860" }, { "id":"46588" }, { "id":"1091071" …

I thought this was discussed somewhere, but I can't find the thread. I've updated my authorization to the one you gave me Dani. If I now start my DwArticleWatch after a while (about 2 hours, but unconfirmed) I get an error message that curl failed. I think the access token …

A few new OAuth-related API features. Firstly, there is now the concept of scope. So if you want to do things like spy on a member's private messages or chat on their behalf, you now need to pass in the required scope (details in API documentation) to ask for more …

# The nature of this tutorial ... This tutorial is designed to walk you through DaniWeb's implicit (clientside) OAuth flow. This is not designed to be an introductory tutorial to OAuth, and we will expect that you are already familiar with the nature of OAuth and/or have read our tutorial … |

As far as I can see, to develop applications using OAuth we need to own server space to host a site? An application, when registered to DaniWeb, requires a URL to be provided. A desktop application obviously doesn't have one of these. When sending OAuth requests we have to provide …

This was posted in a behind-the-scenes forum yesterday, but here it is for everyone today: There have been a LOT of changes so far, and more to come. Most of what's happened so far has dealt with OAuth. A lot more security on the backend and more in line with …

Hi Dani, AFAIK OAuth 2.0 supports 3 flavours: Server side apps, client side apps and installed apps. Does Daniweb Oauth allow OOB in the redirect_uri which is part of the support for installed/standalone apps? If no, are you expecting desktop app writers to spawn a local web server and use …

Would it be useful to have an update thread for when you make changes to the API structure for example. Did forum_id get changed from forumid or then to just id for certain forums (can_read)? My app stopped working and I couldn't work out why - then iterating over the …

Attached is the code for my RSS dashboard, using the DaniWeb API. It's an improved version of the mashup I posted earlier, using jQuery to get all feeds asynchronously. The part which initially loads the forums is shown below. It creates an API object, and a Parser object. The first …

Just asking about the relevancy/meaning of 'page' in requests based on 'members'. e.g. http://www.daniweb.com/api/members?page= http://www.daniweb.com/api/members/{:IDS}?page= When used in this manner, I seem to get a random bunch of members (when not set to 1), regardless of IDS. How many members/page ?

I know I promised not to make anymore drastic changes to the API, but ... well ... I lied. The two API write operations (voting on posts and watching/unwatching articles) used to always respond with a JSON object in the format success: true or success: false Now, they return the … |
