API

How can we improve the Cashboard API?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

    1. Bulk API Methods

      Create bulk API CRUD of objects. This would save quit a bit on API calls.

        Thinking about it, but needs to be done in a RESTful way.

        My current thinking is that we’ll expose a /things/bulk resource, that you can then POST / DELETE / PUT against.

        Items will be run as a transaction, so either all the requests succeed or fail.

      • Add parameters to account/new

        - Add optional <number_format> element
        - Add <terms_of_service> element to encourage API developers to include terms of service agreement in their applications
        - Make sure <subdomain> element is available in the new call, but read only in update calls. You are right, folks shouldn't be able to change subdomains through the API.
        - Add <affiliate_code> element prior to implementing the program. And make it required. If people are going to create accounts on your system, you want to know who they are. In the near term, this will be a short list of interested developers.
        - Add an optional <timezone>… more

        • Method to check if a subdomain is available

          A method to check to see if a subdomain is available. This way, as they are setting up their account through the api, once they type in their requested subdomain, an ajax call to see if that subdomain is available. They could change their subdomain entry before they submit the form.
