Sample Data + Test Account

[kalun]

Hi Car2Go Team,

I noticed that on the methods "Get Booking", "Create Booking", and
"Cancel Booking" on http://code.google.com/p/car2go/wiki/index_v2_1,
there is no JSON example. Could you put in an example? (If not, the
only way for me to get the format will be to actually book a car,
which cost money since I won't be actually picking the car up for
testing)

Also, is there a test account that I can use for booking cars? Better
yet, is there is dev server that we can use?

Thanks,
Kalun

Good point! We will add the missing examples as soon as possible.

If required, it is also possible to get a test account by sending a
mail to ope...@car2go.com

Kind Regards,

Thanks Claus. I will send the email to obtain the test account.

Hi Car2Go team,

I just received an email from the car2go api team that I cannot get a
test account. This is after 3 weeks of waiting (From Dec 19 to this
morning). I don't mean to rant, but honestly, 3 weeks for a we can't
give you a test account email?

Anyway, rant over, if a test account is not possible, please at least
post the the JSON example on the wiki or here.

Thanks,
Kalun

I'm am sorry for this delay/bad communication. Due to all the new
car2go locations a lot of new developers are working with our OpenAPI
and requested test users for this. Our process for creating those
users was never designed for so many requests, which now required us
to come up with a different solution. This took some time, planing and
decision making which caused the delay, but we are now pretty
confident that we came up with a good testing solution. As mentioned
in the mail we are planing to introduce this testing support by the
end of January.

I just updated the wiki pages, please let me know if this leaves any
questions unanswered ;-)

Thanks Claus. Do I need to reapply for a test account by the end of
January? or will there be an only registration process?

Thanks,
Kalun

The will be no need for test accounts/registration anymore. We will
add a parameter which enables you to tell the system it's a test call.
