The new API is here!  Last week we deployed the last bits of new API code for the general API.  Partner-specific stuff still needs to be implemented, but now we're going officially deprecate the old API and I'd like to take this opportunity to politely nudge all API client to move over to using the … Continue reading The New API is Here

I just pushed the last bits of code to re-implement the API endpoints.  This includes the team application, message, and activity endpoints.  So this means that all of the general API has now been re-implemented with new code (finally).  It's pretty laughable in hindsight that I thought 2-4 weeks was a reasonable amount of time … Continue reading API Refactor finishing up

I skipped last weeks API update, but there has been lots of updates in that time.  I implemented basically all of the team-related parts of the API (Teams, projects, team members, tasks, etc.) Right now there's still a bit to be tested, but I think we should be able to deploy it soon. Most of … Continue reading API Update 2015/3/17

I feel like it's been 2-3 weeks of me saying "we have lots of new API code for you to test, just wait for us to deploy it in the next few days".  Well, the code is finally deployed.  If you have an API client, I would definitely recommend testing it against the new stuff. Some … Continue reading Finally… a deploy

There's a ton of new API code that's pretty much ready, but unfortunately it's not quite live yet.  We just need to do a few more tests and then we will push it (hopefully like today or tomorrow). The last endpoint I implemented was the users endpoint.  It went pretty smoothly.  The one notable thing … Continue reading Lots of API code ready… almost deployed

This week I worked on one of the more complex API endpoints: the subtitles resource.  The reason for the complexity is the atypical output format.  Normally API endpoints return an object that's encoded into JSON (or XML, YAML, or something similar).  The subtitles resource follows this pattern, but it also allows users to get the … Continue reading New API Progress: Subtitles API

Another week has rolled along, so it's time to talk about the API update progress again. This week I implemented the video language endpoint. It went a lot faster than the video endpoint since it was much simpler. In general, the coding is getting faster since the endpoints are getting simpler and also I'm getting … Continue reading New API Progress Updates #2

It's been two weeks since I posted about starting work on the Amara API Refactor and I wanted to share the progress since then. As usual, I underestimated the amount of work it would take.  Originally I was estimating 2-4 weeks of development time.  After 2 weeks, I can safely say that 4 weeks is the … Continue reading API Refactor Progress

The Amara API is going to be going through some exciting changes in the near future.  I’d like to take this opportunity to explain the reasons behind the change and discuss what it means for people who interact with the Amara API. First off, let me say that there are no plans to change how … Continue reading Upcoming Amara API Changes
