Hi Billee and thank you for the help! So far I have all of that pretty much learned. My question (and maybe I'm misunderstanding this greatly) is how to make an API for native mobile apps to access. XML might be part of the answer but I'm not so sure about that. Most applications with an API require a key (usually a unique and random 16-26 character alphanumerical code) to confirm you are authorized to access the account. I'm sure this key could be substituted by a username and password (like twitterific for example). Once this native mobile app is authorized to access the account it can do pretty much anything someone on the website is allowed to do. Create, Remove, Update, and Destroy (CRUD) operations and access some custom actions as well such as adding friends. Thanks. -Tony -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
