Chatter REST API #6

Closed jordanbaucke closed 13 years ago

jordanbaucke commented 13 years ago

Hey metadaddy -

I'm curious if your planning to drop some methods for doing the Chatter REST API calls into the toolkit?

It strikes me that it's only a matter of adding some URI building logic - I don't know if this in the pipeline or you have even thought about it?

Otherwise great work, really fast, functional JS!

Hi Jordan,

Yes, the thought had occurred to me, but I have a bunch of other stuff going on and I'm not sure when I might get to it. If you're interested in getting something working, feel free to fork the project and send me a pull request when you're done. BTW - the pre-release Chatter REST API docs are up... http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/chatterapipre/salesforce_chatter_rest_api.pdf or http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/chatterapipre/index.htm

Thanks Pat,

I'll do that! I watched the Summer '11 preview yesterday and they were talking about an improved REST API for Chatter, but they made it seem like it was already in general release -- either way, yes, nothing about it struck me as functionally that different other than the URI formation - so I'll do some coding and let you know!

@metadaddy -- thanks! I've reviewed some of this stuff and definitely want to put the REST API for Chatter and Apex WS Methods into action ASAP. Our implementation schedule is such that I've defaulted too SOAP API for the time being for Chatter and Apex method calls since I didn't have a quick 'Same URL OAuth 2' authentication like the one that is already built into the toolkit (and didn't have time to write one myself) Once the toolkit expands to include this I'll upgrade my Javascript!

Lots of great inspiration so far though! And I like REST a lot better than SOAP with jQuery templates!

@jordanbaucke - cool stuff - I know a few people are thinking along similar lines. Let me know if/when you get started and we'll try to avoid duplication of effort :-)
