LDS Developers,
We are finally inviting developers to try out our new (yet-to-be released) API
for reading and writing to our new FamilySearch Family Tree online application.
The table of contents of the API Documentation is below. We would like
participants to spend 6 to 10 hours over a three week period testing out the
"restful API", commenting on our documentation, sample client code, and the
developer network website. Participants will be provided temporary accounts to
access a "sandbox" that has a full working system. If you're interested please
provide:
Name:
Address:
Phone:
Programming language(s):
Experience with Web Services:
Years of programming experience:
Description of how you would like to us the API (in addition to login and
simple reads):
You will be contacted by phone or email and then sent access information before
the testing period begins. The number of participants may be limited depending
upon the level of interest.
Best regards,
Gordon Clarke
FamilySearch Developer Services Manager
