Plings Input API (draft)
From Plings Info
Overview
Plings holds a range of data about things to do and places to go for young people. The Plings Input API allows you to supply data to Plings in an automated fashion from remote systems.
There are 2 ways that remote systems can publish their activities into the Plings Database for publishing:
- This requires a progmatic approach to publishing Plings and these methods should be used to absorb the Plings methods into your own applications to achieve realtime data manipulation.
- The method is for batch processing of data. Currently you can only supply and update details on activities.(i.e. there is no delete method)
Both methods require a technical know how on collecting, formatting and the sending of data, although the latter probably requires less and both require a valid API key.
API Key
To provide data to the Plings Data Set you will need an API key. Full details about how to get your API key are available under API Keys
Code Examples
These need shifting
