Hello ! First of all, sorry for bad language, i'm french.

I have make a site with your API, It works perfectly. But i have some questions.

If i would put my website online, can I have problems with Snapchat? And the API is safe? Will work always? Because i don't want to remake my website...

And if you want i can post some files i have made for use this API.

Good bye, Jean.

Hi, probably you will get issues when you get a lot of users because when Snapchat recognizes a large amount of requests from one single IP address (your server IP in this case) it will block that IP from accessing the API. If you don't want those problems you'll need to use a VPN or proxy to change your IP.

Okay, but this API is legual? And she always work?

dprogramming commented 10 years ago

More on legal: https://github.com/JorgenPhi/php-snapchat/issues/12 This will not work when your IP is blocked or when Snapchat changes it's API. We can't guarantee that it will keep working always but we try to keep it updated so it'll stay working.

Mmm okay, and if i contact snapchat for have more answers, they can change my site to "legual" with this API?

dprogramming commented 10 years ago

You can try, but the chances are very small that they'll respond...

JorgenPhi commented 10 years ago

I don't see snapchat ever giving any project or entity their consent. The only thing snapchat intends on using its API is their own client. We will however be rewriting the library so all requests are identical to the official app, so snapchat will not be able to tell a difference. :)

Oh really good, and when this API can be used? I want to show you my website, it was for french and english clients, made with Symfony2
