JSON descriptor of Resources?

[Devraj Mukherjee]

Hey guys,

Wondering if Etsy Developer team is considering providing a JSON descriptor of the resources?

Would make it really easy to generate API clients.

Thanks.

Hi Devraj,

Have you seen getMethodTable?

Hey Chris,

Thanks for your response. Yes I did look at getMethodTable, it returns nearly everything I need. Except a description of the fields of each Resource (Category, Listing, etc).

Cumbersome to maintain resources by hand on the client side (iOS, in my case).

Unless of course I am missing something?

IIUC the OP is specifically asking for JSON response representation of the Etsy API _resources_.
getMethodTable returns a representation of a single resource, namely ApiMethod.
As such, getMethodTable AFAICT would not satisfy OP's particular use case.

I recently posted a feature request similar to OP's:
 [Feature Request] - a "meta" resource ApiResourceRepresentation and request method getResourceRepresentationTable
