Web Services and Generator Changes

Posted by Eric Butler on May 5, 2009 6:35:50 PM

Our development team has been busy over the past few weeks updating the beta versions of our web services and Generator application.  We have received some excellent feedback from everyone (thank you!), and wanted to let you about updates we made this past Wednesday evening, May 6.

 

Please note these changes as they modify some of the core request and response formats.

 

Changes include:

  1. XML and JSON response format changes. We received feedback that it would be easier to consume some response data if it were formatted differently, so we made some adjustments to those responses.
  2. URL naming conventions.  We wanted to standardize on plurals in the URLs when requesting data.  For example, we've changed "/profile/" to "/profiles/" and "/report/" to "/reports/".
  3. New response codes have been added to make error conditions more obvious.
  4. Report "Category" has been added to the meta data for reports.  This is useful for selecting specific reports inside a profile that have been categorized for specific uses.
  5. Various bug fixes.

 

We also updated our documentation as well so you'll have the information you need.

 

Please keep the feedback coming in.  As you can see, we're listening...and iterating quickly to make this an outstanding service offering for everyone.  Thanks for your help.
