Cambrian House API Documentation

Welcome!

Here's a list of the initial API calls available through Cambrian House. If you don't have a Developer Key, go get one (please)!

Data found between {{ }} tags means a variable. What does this mean to you? Let's say you're looking to get information back about the community member named el_jivaro (he's a good guy). You would replace:

http://api.cambrianhouse.com/rest/member/{{member_alias}}

with

http://api.cambrianhouse.com/rest/member/el_jivaro

make sense?

This documentation, if you can't tell, is pretty light. We'll be adding to it as we go. If you have suggestions, leave a comment on this page and we'll add it. Glory Points available!

    non of those work for me... i will enter:
    http://api.cambrianhouse.com/rest/member/el_jivaro
    or
    http://api.cambrianhouse.com/rest/member/Gods_light
    and just get a white screen...

    what is the point of this?

    Hi Gods_Light,
    It sounds like you're not appending an api key to the end of your request.
    An example would be:
    http://api.cambrianhouse.com/rest/member/Gods_light?API_KEY=XXXXXXXXX

    After looking at the docs, I realize this isn't very clear. I'm going to add it now

    I signed up but did not get a developer key.
    is it the last bit in: http://developer.cambrianhouse.com/member/confirm/screech/f9a04d22aab539fbfc9f15dc4cd9deb0

    Where do I get the API_KEY? Does it get emailed to me later?

    403 Developer Inactive

    Do I have to wait until somebody in CH approves it ?

  6. swestrup – 1 year ago

    I think I somehow managed to sign up without requesting a developer key!

    This is probably due to being sleepy and accidentally closing the sign-up form half-way through.

    Okay, I figured out what URL I was at when I aborted, and managed to continue.

    What's the likelihood you'll be extending the API? Say, "forum posts" or "private inbox messages" or "venture Wiki page"?

    When I make an http request using my API key I get '<h1>403 Developer Inactive</h1>' the same as Tournesol. How do I get this to work? Does anybody care? As his query has not been answered in 3 months I don't think I'll hold my breath.

    m3... did you get this resolved? See my post in the forums. It was a simple thing to fix. Be happy :) CH doesn't have to provide an API....
