Greetings Alison, My application is probably very different. I'm using Dot Net from the server side. That said, I'm putting some code at the end of this message. The thing I struggled with was that I

Thank you! I actually have a premium subscription, so I can use direct add, yay! So, I'm a web developer, I know PHP, MySQL, some Python, and some JavaScript, BUT, I haven't used REST, and I'm just,

One tip for anyone experimenting with the API... Download the free Windows utility called "Postman". I tested every api call in Postman prior to writing code. It saved me a ton of time. PS I have no

There are a couple of subtle nuances to this.... Registering a user is easy (two api calls, login and registeruser). However, that only adds the user and doesn't subscribe them to your group. They

Hi and thank you! Did the change happen at the end of September? I'm new to groups.io and the API, poking around, and when I ran the login object, it included a token field with a super long string

Hi! Can I use the API to create a custom member signup form? I've looked in the docs, but I'm not sure if I'm not understanding how, or if I'm "not understanding" because it isn't possible to

You wouldn't happen to have an example of mbox format would you? I've found a few articles, like this one: https://www.jagwaresoftware.com/blog/what-is-a-mbox-file.html But they don't seem to address

In this case I was testing, so .. yes. I could use the login link. But ... I am writing code to migrate an existing discussion board with thousands of users and posts. I need to insert all the

Darn!! I am stuck again. I tried to post a message on behalf of a user who I registered via DIRECTADD Unfortunately I need to log them in first before they can post. The login interface requires a

Gilbert: I should have that answer for you in the next couple of hours... I will post here what I learn. -Ken W
