Hi there,
Thank you for your valuable guidance sir, Now I just have last two
questions:
1. How to get particular authorised user's hits, what is the url to
to get remaining hits for that user..
2. Suppose I am having authorised a/c(which has 20000 hits), then
how to call any method (any like userstatus or show/1/status) with my
account.
Thank you in advance.
