It looks like Foodsoft will (finally) get an API. There is some
discussion on how it would look like.
Please feel free to join in, and share your perspectives.
I would really like to have an API to easily access Foodsoft. We need to sync hundreds of users between our Foodcoop DB and the Foodsoft DB. Currently I use a Perl Mechanize script I have created some time ago (with quite some time spent on it to get it running … ) to do the sync by calling the appropriate web pages and filling the forms. Additionally a sync option for other data like articles and finances would be helpful, too. An API would be perfect for that!
Thanks for responding. While I’ve mostly worked on the member-facing part of the API (ordering), it’s good to know you and others are interested in things like updating articles as well. I’ll keep that in mind.
