Hi Any idea when the feed for tfl tube delays
will be coming back? Paul
Paul Lowe i From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Burden Couple of quick points from working with the API recently: 1) The
“highlights” group doesn’t appear to have been updated since
last summer. Working properly this is a really useful feature to have (like
your rabbit giving you a summary of the weeks best TV every Sunday night!). 2) Trying to
search by genre is about the only obvious function that needs multiple calls.
You have to search once to convert the English term to a genre ID, then again
to getMembers, then again on each member to get programme times by getInfo. If
you want to constrain by time/channel you’ve got to drill down all layers
for all members to find out what time the programmes are, or do it in reverse and
get the schedule and then look up every programme to check its genre. Could the
API be amended to give a quicker way of doing either of these? David David Burden |
