desktop api? #3

Open minektur opened 7 years ago

minektur commented 7 years ago

Anything other than JS for a desktop/installed-app on windows, linux, or Mac OS? I'd love to create some command line tools to interact with my connected d5.....

Also it seems particularly problematic for commandline tools work with oauth... All of your examples require having webserver to act as an intermediary for the oauth workflow, which would make sense for a web app, or a mobile app that speaks to a web backend. It makes much less sense for a desktop app...

What would be even more nice is an app that could connect directly to the neato robot over the local lan, so that both the desktop app and the robot could operate in offline mode - e.g. in the face of no-internet connectivity... Any chance of apis for such operation?

Thank you for your feedback. We are considering options that would facilitate this.

I, and others, would love to see this. Especially those of us using home assistant and/or openhab.

I've been tying to wrap up the API myself for my own desktop/mobile application usage but the API documentation is one of the worst i've dealt with. Even eBay's monster beyond monster sized API is easier to use.

I'd like to see someone actually go and revamp the documentation to clean up some of the missing bits or parts that don't seem complete.

I can do some of the OAuth stuff but beyond that, it seems things are not complete and I have to revert to SDK's here to rip out what I need and rewrite.
