This page is dedicated to ideas for the SN API being developed by TheMightyBuzzard.

  • actually, an api call that would be awesome would be an op where you supply cid and it spits out the sid ~ crutchy @ 11:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
  • supply cid and get the entire url ~ crutchy @ 11:19, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
  • redirect to the full url... or a redirect switch ~ crutchy @ 11:20, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
