The CodeProject API returns 8921823 as my user ID, but my ID is actually 8966127.
Good job on the API by the way

If you look at the data returned for the v1/My/Profile call, you will see a property codeProjectMemberId. This is the value you were expecting. The UserId is a value that we use to identify users across our websites.

That explains it, thanks!

It would be nice if in forums one could expand all the children of a post when expanding it. Personally I often read the answer, answer to the answer and so on. So simultaneously expanding one "path" at a time would make this easier. Also when two posts in a chain are simultaneously open it would be easy to compare the texts.
Obviously this shouldn't replace the current mechanism which closes an open post at the time another is opened. This would just be an alternative.

I have searched this site looking for information about an API, but I couldn't find any information. I would like to build a mobile app to view, comment and answer questions (for example). Is anything useful available to access this site?

There is an API. It's early days yet - consider this an alpha version - but you can find it here[^]
.

When did that get made public!

Errrm, it didn't. Chris knows I have an active interest in this so he notified me a couple of days ago. He did say it was okay to disseminate this.

Well, even though it's limited, it's still a very good starting point, so thank you very much! Do we have a place to comment/provide feedback on it? Or can I just post in this forum when I run into things?

I'm out here so don't get as much time to wade through the various forums, if it isn't on the first page, or on the frontpage, generally wont see it!
When I'm at home that's a different matter.

Don't worry, that is just part of the name.

Damn! When was this announced?
Or was it just announced to a few select people? If so I am not thrilled at being left out despite being one of the biggest pushers for this for 7-8 years now.

Don't get upset about it. I've asked Chris specifically because I've offered to write a Xamarin cross platform version.

Hey Pete,
I know it's a little thing, but often it's these little things that are subtle indicators to deeper reasons. Assuming they informed you, and possibly a few others too, then I can't imagine it being unintentional that they skipped me. It's almost like telling me, hey, we'd rather not have you write an app using our API. 
|
|
|
|
|
It was purely accidental. Pure good timing on my part. It's definitely not an intentional slight - more down to me pestering Chris and catching him in an unguarded moment.
|

Thanks Pete. Chris responded below.

Nish.
I've been at Intel IDF all week so this is late, but I needed to run this by someone who would kick the tyres and to an initial sanity check. No one else has been told of it since it's extremely rough. We don't even have a simple piece of example code.
I have an email drafted to you and a number of others specifically announcing it but I'm not sending it until I have the final rough corners smoothed out. I was hoping that would be this morning but I'm still waiting for once final piece and then we deploy.
cheers

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the update. I did not mean to sound grumpy, although apparently that's what I ended up doing. The API certainly looks promising!

I'd like to have an easier way to keep track of my activity on this site. I use quick answers a lot to answer questions, but I don't have a clear way to keep track of them. I'd like to suggest a mechanism related to how Facebook works for example. As soon as I have commented on, or answered a question, I'd like to 'follow' that question automatically, and receive notifications for all activities that happen to it (new answers, new comments etc.). On Facebook, there's also an option to click 'Stop getting notifications' on a post, which would be great as well.
All this would make it a lot more efficient to keep track of questions that you were involved with.

If I turn of notification emails for quick answers in my settings, I also stop seeing notifications in the top right corner of the screen when I'm on the site. Somehow, the two are linked, but the setting should be just about emails, not about not getting any notifications anymore.
