API Re-Write - API v2 (JSON/XML)

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

It has been requested that we add JSON support to the api as it can be much 
easier for our app developers to handle within their code in certain 
situations, we should also keep XML support for legacy reasons.

Due to this, and the fact that we have other API related issues open, such as 
API key support to restrict the use of the api, it would be best to rebuild the 
API from the ground up as API v2.

We also need to be able to log amount of API usage against each API key, so 
that we can detect any particularly strenuous activity on the server.

It has been suggested that we use a sub-domain to access the new api, this will 
also help clean up the requests that our API users have to make.

Something like: "http://api.thegamesdb.net" would be appropriate.
