SN API ideas

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

Suggestions from IRC

• 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)
• need app based access key authorization ~ TheMightyBuzzard @ 11:32, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
• wikimedia api uses normal login system but designates bots with a bot flag, which are permitted to use the api. maybe SN could do something similar ~ crutchy @ 11:46, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
• maybe make the basic api.pl with no parameters go to a doc page on how to use the api ~ crutchy @ 20:53, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
• a queue op to get the number of accepted articles waiting to be put out ~ crutchy @ 12:31, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
• get hash of any prod code file to check against personal dev copy ~ crutchy @ 12:15, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
• return username from uid and vice versa ~ crutchy @ 12:01, 27 October 2014 (UTC) DONE
• gotta be at least one easter egg :) ~ crutchy @ 13:00, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
• slashcode api library in php/perl/etc ~ crutchy @ 13:06, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
• submission feed to an irc channel, and ability to meta-mod from irc ~ crutchy @ 14:11, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
