[powershop-developers] Java Powershop API

[Tim]

Hi Everyone,

I've almost completed a Java API - it's at the stage where it might be
useful anyway.

Currently it can:

* Connect to Powershop
* Do the oAuth verification thing
* Get Customer Information

It even caches oAuth secrets so that you only need to verify it once
for you account.

It's designed for a client-side app. If anyone's interested, I'll
flick it through. Naturally, I want to get some more functionality
working before releasing it into the wild!

Thanks Guys. When you are ready to release your code into the wild I
am happy to upload it here, or link through to your codebase somewhere
else.

Hi everyone,

Just so you know, there'll be a couple of week delay on releasing my Java library. For various reasons that I'm still annoyed about, my previous power company decided to send me a final bill and then switch me back. This means that for the next couple of weeks I don't have a powershop account and can't do any testing!

What would be a great help is if someone could send me:

* Sample XML returned by the products api call
* Sample XML returned by the readings API call

(I have a sample customer one already).

That will let me create automated tests for loading the XML into Java objects - then I can sensibly refactor the code.

Thanks!

Can't you get sample responses from your test account?

I was just using my real account - couldn't get the test site to work for me :)

Surely they're not really allowed to do that? I'd be raising hell with
them until they put it right, along with suitable compensation.

Hi ya

Test accounts wont work on the live shop (different servers).

It's a long story. When I originally switched they offered me incentives to stay - which I accepted. Then the switch happened anyway and they sent me a final bill. I was quite happy either way so didn't follow it up. Several weeks later they switched me back. In the mean time, I'd started doing some programming with the API - it turns out that this has been so fun that it's actually a key feature for me!

Hi Tim,

I will send you some login details for the test server that you can
use for development/testing in the meantime.

Ari.

Hi everyone,

My Java library has now reached some degree of stability. I'll email it to Ari directly for upload. It'll be under a GPL license (the strict one - not the LGPL) - but feel free to talk to me if that doesn't work for your purposes.

I'm including a JAR file with all the classes and a test class that shows how to use it.
