Getting started with the API

The Tribes API allows developers to obtain a variety of data from Tribes in order to use in their own applications and websites.

At present, the Tribes API is in an ALPHA status. Early users of the API can expect there to be some bugs and issues. The API can also be expected to change and expand with some frequency.

Documentation for the API can be found here.

Re: Getting started with the API

I am noticing some discrepancies with the API documentation.

In the beginning of the document you see the mthod getplayer listed like this:

getplayer[ResponseFormat]/{devId}/{signature}/{timestamp}/{playername}

Later in the document it says to call getplayer like this:

getplayer[ResponseFormat]/{devId}/{signature}/{sessionId}/{timestamp}/{playerName}

Notice this one has added {sessionId}

I just noticed you added {sessionid} to createsession. Create Session will return us the session id

createsession[ResponseFormat]/{devId}/{signature}/{sessionId}/{timestamp}

Re: Getting started with the API

I just noticed Ping does not require anything but ping[responseFormat].

I just tried that and I get:

End Point not found

And for some I am getting:

The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details.
