    Ahoy, dearest pukes!

    Thought I'd post links to my latest mini-project:

    http://code.poorcoding.com/synchronet-json-web-services

    Ever wanted to call parts of the Synchronet API via web services?

    DESCRIPTION
    This provides a minimal set of web services for your Synchronet
    web server instances. It enables calls to parts of the
    Synchronet API for consumption by external services.

    It exposes what I consider to be public information, please ensure
    you are familiar with what data is shared using this and are
    comfortable with it being publically available.

    DEMO
    http://fatcatsbbs.com/json.html

    INSTALL
    - Drop json.xjs and json.html into the root of any Synchronet
    root/vhost web folder.

    CONTACT
    - E-mail:
    art, at fat cats bbs, dot com.

    - IRC:
    #synchronet on irc.bbs-scene.org.

    Enjoy!

    Kindest puke-gards,

    art@fatcatsbbsdotcom

    Neat stuff art! Seems like the further you travel down that route the more cool stuff you'll be able to do with it, like maybe calling functions or using authentication so the former are more secure. I look forward to checking it out a little more.

    cheers

    This looks pretty cool.

    In future, could it be used to let a JS game on my BBS website write scores back into a JSON DB?

    I'm still figruing out json-db myself, but it seems like with the way it works on port 10088 and can already accept some sort of remote calls from other boards, there might be away if you look at the code to make those sort of calls from the browser if you understood how it all worked. I could be wrong though, just making assumptions.

    cheers, llmorphg

    p.s. apologies for the spelling erros, i'm in a luosy terminal and i don't ave backspace and for some reason my fingers don't work like they're supposed to these days

    Thank you, sir.

    more cool stuff you'll be able to do with it, like maybe calling functions or using authentication so the former are more secure. I look forward to checking it out a little more.

    Definitely, if you check the documentation (README.txt), one of the items on the roadmap is the ability to authenticate for less public API calls, as well as the possibility to write data back to Synchronet.

    I will be pushing some commits soon(ish) this month, with rudimentary authenticated access.

    Kind regards,

    Ahoy Kirkman,

    This looks pretty cool.

    Thank you, sir.

    scores back into a JSON DB?

    Indeed it could.

    Coming soon, authenticated access will enable things like writing data into a JSON DB.

    As previously suggested, it might be more straightforward to write to the JSON DB directly from within the JS game on your website, however depending on your purpose, JAWS could definitely have scope for that functionality in the
    future.

    Kind regards,
