I must admit I have never designed an API before, nor written the backend for one. I'm willing to give it a go but it might be slow to arrive and the first few iterations scrapped. Can you recommend any resources for learning how to do this? For authentication do I really need to go the whole OAuth 2 route or can API keys be enough? Let's assume you have authenticated by whatever method. It's probably best if that be valid for the whole customer record, so something like this: GET https://api.bitfolk.com/v1/guest …gives you a list of guests. But is that a list of IDs, or a list of guest names? Let's say it's a list of ID numbers. GET https://api.bitfolk.com/v1/guest/1234/xfer gives you back JSON for the current and predicted amounts in and out for the current accounting period as well as the period start and end times for guest id 1234? This is a big project for someone who has never done it before, unfortunately. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
