Take it easy for now...the API isn't exactly optimized, and firing off the 100s of 1000s of calls needed to build the graph could cause problems. We may have to institute rate limits at some point to prevent DDOS attacks or runaway apps causing syst…

I would bet that most people's graphs have the same strongly connected attribute where their close gaming group clusters around the same campaigns. When I first started, I imagined Obsidian Portal as partly a social-network. Only after a while di…

Looks great! I'm glad you were able to get going with OAuth so quickly. Many people have had a lot of problems, but it seems like you were able to breeze through. Are the Python OAuth libraries really easy to use?

Looks like "Scribe":https://github.com/fernandezpablo85/scribe-java is also a highly respected Java OAuth implementation. There's a list of "different OAuth libraries":http://oauth.net/code/ on the main OAuth website.

Seems like "signpost":http://code.google.com/p/oauth-signpost/ would be a good place to start if doing something in Java, although there could be other OAuth Java libraries.

So this idea is dead? I can understand not wanting to get in over your head, but it really is a great idea...

Since the OAuth verifier question has come up a lot, I've gone ahead and added it to the "OAuth Overview Page":http://help.obsidianportal.com/kb/api/api-authentication-oauth in the docs.

Sorry, was a typo in the docs. The correct URL is: http://www.obsidianportal.com/oauth/clients/new Steve, I'll look into your request. Seems reasonable...

Going to make a small change with campaign latitude/longitude. It will be in a JSON object called "location" as such: 'location' : { 'lat' : 123, 'lng' : 99 } We're doing this because we might want to add more location info in the futur…

Ah, I think I may see now. There are some typos in the documentation, but I doubt those exist in the actual output from the API. I had to hand-create some of the examples in the documentation, and there could be typos. I'll double-check to be sur…

Michele, Invalid JSON is a big no-no. Thanks for pointing it out and I'll definitely take a look. We have tests to parse the JSON output, but perhaps they're lenient as you say. I'll see if I can put rework the tests to put them in strict complia…

Assuming it's "this one":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/a-scorpion-on-your-back then it seems that the issue is you have no players. All the PCs are owned by you and I see no players listed for the game. You'll need to invite players to joi…

We are on the cusp of "releasing" the API. Essentially, for those of you who have been working with it, it means very little. However, there are a few salient points: * We will be sticking with OAuth. While not perfect, it offers the best balance…

I'm pushing an update tonight with a few changes. It should hopefully make the authorization success page a little friendlier to users. It also puts the verifier in an easily-parsible HTML element. Just look for a code element with the id of "oau…

Steve & Michele - I'm going to work on the OAuth mobile workflow and page tonight (and possibly into the next week). I'll see about thing in this order: # Showing the correct data (the verifier, not the token/secret). # Making the page a lit…

Hey Folks, I've been distracted for a bit, but Ryan has been doing a review of the API. We've got a few smal changes coming, and I'll look into the issues with the OAuth tokens and such. Just wanted to say we're still here, just really really bus…

Steve, That all looks right to me. Glancing at "the tag renamer":https://github.com/micahwedemeyer/obsidianportal_tag_renamer/blob/master/app/controllers/application_controller.rb it looks like you're doing it correctly. However, I looked in t…

super_rats - I agree that the ability to remove yourself is a bit strange. I'll see if I can figure out a nice way to make this less of an issue. nezumih - Lots of good points there. I'd also like to be able to reorder things. I'll put that on th…

It's been updated to include adventure log posts, characters, and items. There are still some usability updates, like background color and possibly a delete button, but overall I'm very pleased.

GM Only will have to stay (for now), as the Player Secrets are an Ascendant feature, unlike GM Only.

Pushing out a fix that makes it closer to what Chainsaw was describing. Like he says, it's probably less confusing than how it is now, plus it allows for attaching any number of players to a given secret. Keep the feedback coming...

The color scheme definitely needs work, I agree there.

Characters are on the TODO list. I just wanted to ship the half-done version and get some feedback. Once we nail it for wiki pages, I'll port it over to characters. I'll add that to the top post to make it clear.

Genesplicer - Look closely at the text in each of the player secret boxes: bq. Note: These player secrets are a new and in-progress feature. They may change significantly in the near future, and they are a litte unstable, so please be patient.

Lex: Good thoughts regarding KISS, but in this case it's almost as easy to make the general case, and I know deep-down that people won't be satisfied with it just on characters. A perfect example is a wiki page on a particular organization, like …

Ugh! I'll take a look and see what I can find out about the errors with page create / edit. As to Chainsaw's idea, that's sort of what I was afraid of, the "Add Private Section" button. This could be done fairly easily, but I just know it will co…

in Dynamic Character Sheets via the API December 2010

Somewhat related to this discussion: I'm adding the dynamic sheet data to the Characters API methods. That means it will be possible to build things like an importer for .dnd4e files or PCGen exports. The dynamic sheet data is a little trickie…
