Just starting this thread as a placeholder so as I make progress on this I can update the thread. It will be a while as I've been sick for a while now, and am quite behind on other things like emails and PM's.
The general idea is to …
There is a lot of great info in that thread, but I wanted to avoid confusion due to us deprecating that API a few years back and us now re-launching a new API for everyone to use.
I want to hear feedback so I am going to pick on @bwolf and @Silver Dragon, and ask them to speak up. Let me know what you think is missing from this API so that developers can implement it and create some creative new tools.
Here is some rudementary documentation (thanks ChatGPT) thus far. I realize authentication is not documented, this is because this is not yet public (although functional).
Thanks for asking. This is a bit outside of my area of expertise, but here are some suggestions, following in the mode of your initial ones up top. Let me know if this is what you had in mind.
'updatePost' - Updates a specific post by the authenticated user. This is particularly useful for editing or clarifying information in the post.
'deletePost' - Allows users to delete their own posts. This could be helpful in case of errors or if a user changes their mind about a post.
'searchThreads' - Allows users to search through the threads based on keywords or phrases. This can be beneficial for users to find specific content within the community.
'getThread' - Retrieves a specific thread with all its posts and user comments. This would enable applications to present the entire conversation for a specific topic.
'getThreadsByUser' - Retrieve all threads started by a specific user. This would be useful for users who want to follow the content created by particular traders.
'createPoll' / 'voteInPoll' - Functionality to create a poll within a thread and vote in a poll. This could be useful for traders to get community opinion on certain topics.
'getPrivateMessages' / 'sendPrivateMessage' - Retrieve and send private messages from the user. This can facilitate one-on-one conversations between traders.
'getUserActivity' - Retrieves a user's activity like their posts, threads, reactions etc. This is useful to see the contribution of a user in the community.
'getNotifications' - Retrieves the notifications for the authenticated user. This would include information like replies to their threads, likes on their posts, new followers, etc.
'getLatestThreads' / 'getTrendingThreads' - Retrieve the most recent or popular threads. This is a great way for traders to stay updated on what's new or trending in the community.
'followUser' / 'unfollowUser' - These endpoints would allow a user to follow or unfollow another user, thereby adding a social aspect to the API.
'getWebinars' / 'registerForWebinar' - Retrieve information about upcoming webinars and register for them.
Best regards,
Wolf.
