Find a way to publish data for developers. The /changes data is probably a good place to start and already has RSS.

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner:

http://weworkinphilly.com/people.json?column=created_at&order=desc&page=1 http://weworkinphilly.com/projects.json

etc.

Any drawbacks on this technique?

graybill commented 13 years ago

Long story short: yes, we can use this. I'd like to spruce it up into some cleaner crud calls before we do. Also would be nice to use a subdomain like api.weworkinphilly.com

graybill commented 13 years ago

If you do a pull, your dev copy will always return json to any request sent to the 'api' subdomain. We need to either specifically set up the api subdomain or do wildcard subdomains for wwip.com to finish this up. http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains

Example: http://api.weworkinphilly.com/projects Example: http://api.weworkinphilly.com/people/24
