New feature: The CSDb webservice.
I just started creating a new feature for CSDb. A webservice. (If that it the right word to use.. :) )
The idea about this 'webservice' is that anyone can request any of the information in CSDb much like you can now with the search and advanced search features, but instead of getting some HTML back made for humans to read, you get an XML-structure back for machines to read. In this way you can make scripts or whatever that uses the CSDb webservice to extract information from CSDb for use on other websites or what you can think of.
So far I only made the basic workings, and it is only just useable for the public, but I've decided to release it now to get some feedback before I get stuck in a standart that might not be good.
I must admit that my experience with webserviceses and XML is only limited, so bear over with me. :)
Anyway. Check out: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/webservice |

Talked to Perff via PM. The newline stuff was my bad and the second one is now fixed. |

I'd be happy to help build out the search function in the web service.
I think the depth is returning too much data. Even set at 2 it's returning several levels of data deeper than I would expect. I could help fix this too. |
