Ushahidi api library

#1

 

any use this? know how to use it?

 

would like to want to be able to forward reports to another ushahidi instance

  1. create a new Ushahidi_API_Library object in your code and then go to town. huh?

 

 

or the new sharing feature on version 2.7 do that? how do you access that?

HI Steve, we have some documents on the wiki about the API: https://wiki.ushahidi.com/display/WIKI/Ushahidi+REST+API

As well, we are working on rebuilding the whole API for 3.0 . See Robbie’s post on this topic

http://blog.ushahidi.com/2013/04/12/api-wrangling-designing-the-api-for-ushahidi-v3/

Perhaps get in touch via our mailing lists or skype/irc? https://wiki.ushahidi.com/display/WIKI/Contact+Us

Hi Steve,

The ushahidiapilibrary plugin just makes it easier to work with the existing API. The API itself is built in to 2.x however its a bit rough.

The sharing plugin in core is also a bit rough, however you can also try my reworked sharing plugin https://github.com/rjmackay/Ushahidi-plugin-sharing_two

Its not perfect but it will enable you to pull reports from one deployment into another one.

Hope that helps,

Robbie
