Hello,

I have made a start on the basics of our "API" which gives you access to your account information without needing to be logged into the site.

Each member will have their own unique api key which you can get here: Show my key you may need to refresh the page to show your key.
Keep this key a secret and do not give it to anyone

The key is unique to your account and is required to use the api.

Below is a simple demo project showing how you connect to the api and display your account information in your apps.



I have tried to make it as easy to use as possible so after you connect to the api all you have to do to display specific info is to use code like this:

Code: Select all

UserInfo.Item("userid")

You simply enter "UserInfo.Item()" followed by what you wish to display. For example to show your email address in 'Label1':

Code: Select all

Label1.Text = UserInfo.Item("email")

The information available at the moment is as follows:

userid
userip
regdate
username
email
birthday
lastvisit
lastpost
lastpage
warnings
posts
newpm
unreadpm
avatar
from
icq
aim
yahoo
msn
website
occupation
interests
reputation
credits

Please see the code within the demo project to see how you connect to the api which is fairly straight forward but if you have any issues please let me know.

APIDemo1.zip

Its in the early stages and not yet complete but please feel free to test it out and maybe even make some apps that use it.

Thank you cooll;

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay <3 finally something for me to do Good work Craig

Edit: just a small problem it says my birthday is wrong, on the website it says 29/1/1995 but on the app it says Thu Jan 01. it could be different date format perhaps?

Thank you so much. This will certainely open up possibilities for programs

Wohooooo! I have been waiting so long for this! Thx for finally releasing. Can you extend the API with some read topics/forums methods, and maybe post?

[CodenStuff]

I have noticed the birthday comes out wrong and im sure why yet but I will fix it eventually.

Well thats the idea of the api to let you connect to your account to read/update your info and eventually it will include modes for reading/writing/editing your posts etc.

Another error, if it is a , in any of the items, like my interests (1: VB, 2: C#, GUITAR!!!) It dont take the items after the ,
Maybe try to fix that lol
