          "body": "<h2>Design Conversation:</h2>\n\n<p><sub>in reverse chronological order.</sub></p>\n\n<h3>part the Third: in which code poet waxes v1.</h3>\n\n<p>After the unexpected divine intervention of Brian, the developer of Growl for Windows, I was able to refactor the evolving custom pin-able update-able displays into much slimmer and much less complex code. The updates are now batched by the server, soapi-notify, and pushed to the notifications that are still registered for updates.</p>\n\n<p>Thanks Brian.</p>\n\n<p>For those that are not quite satisfied with the default displays provided with soapi-notify, the source for the default display is a great place to start writing your own. Be sure to share it here.</p>\n\n<p>There are a few more things that I would like to incorporate into V1 before calling it soup.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>the ability to monitor existing questions. keep an eye on questions as they evolve. </li>\n<li>extended filtering support. either/or tags using the api methods is a bit limiting. I will use client side filtering to provide a more compelling filter experience. </li>\n<li>proxy support - need to set up a proxy to test this.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>These will be incorporated gradually over the next month or so. I need to finish some other projects and get a job. Anyone who wants to help out may submit patches and perhaps be added to the team.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Let me know what you think</strong></p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>part the Second: in which code poet introduces vNext.</h3>\n\n<p>So, after considering radius' comments I realize that the omission of the vote/answer/view metric was a bad idea, so I redesigned the new notification and console output.</p>\n\n<p>With new custom display:\n<img src=\"http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/2336/soapinotify014b.png\" alt=\"with soapi-notify-display\"></p>\n\n<p>With plain growl display:\n<img src=\"http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/5456/soapinotify014c.png\" alt=\"plain growl display\"></p>\n\n<p>Regarding the other half of the dialog in which the possibility of updating notifications has been realized in the self-updating notifications. </p>\n\n<p>If a notification times out and closes it self, there is no update. </p>\n\n<p>If the notification is 'sticky', either by configuration via Growl or from 'pinning' by clicking the grey lock icon, the notification refreshes itself at as yet to be determined refresh rate.</p>\n\n<p>Compare the 'How to validate HTML Matches W3C standards' question in the screen shot: The console output shows the state of the question when it was pulled and the notification has tracked, in real-time, the votes, views and answers over the last 4 minutes.</p>\n\n<p>This build is in the source repository right now. If you are familiar or would like to make yourself familiar with the process of manually adding a growl notification type, knock yourself out.</p>\n\n<p>A binary release including self-installation of the display will be released tonight.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Coming Up:</strong></p>\n\n<p>By popular demand: A GUI. </p>\n\n<p>The GUI will provide extended functionality:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>more control over and more convenient specification of which tags to include/exclude/pin</li>\n<li><ul>\n<li>select and copy your 'ignored tags' from the site and paste them into a text box to omit questions containing those posts from being notified.</li>\n</ul></li>\n<li><ul>\n<li>select and copy your 'interesting tags' from the site and paste them into a text box to make questions containing those tags 'sticky' by default along with the appropriate background color visual cue.</li>\n</ul></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><strong>Let me know what you think.</strong></p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3>part The First: in which code poet mixes good idea with short sightedness</h3>\n\n<p>I whipped up soapi-notify in a few hours. It actually took more time to publish and document than it did to write.</p>\n\n<p>After using it for a day I am convinced that the idea is much more than a novelty.</p>\n\n<p>I am polling at the recommended 60 second intervals and, funnily enough, I never see a question that is more than a minute old. imagine that. And it brings the point home when I see a stack of questions that are less than 10 seconds old.</p>\n\n<p>So, I am convinced that this is a viable app. With that in mind, lets discuss some design issues.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Vote, Answer and View counts</strong>:</p>\n\n<p>It is quite obvious that my soon to be previous screenshots include these metrics in the results and they seemed relevant in that there was non-null data. But this was due to a bug in the time-zone conversion.</p>\n\n<p>In reality - as explained previously, the questions that are being reported are seconds old. There are no votes and there are no answers. So I have removed those data points, which makes the output much cleaner.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Date Output</strong></p>\n\n<p>For the console output, which is persistent and linear, I am including a short time string.<br>\ne.g. <code>12:02:20 PM</code></p>\n\n<p>For transient notification such as Growl, I am verbalizing the time difference much in the same way you see on the sites.\ne.g. <code>19s ago</code></p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/2950/soapinotifyv02screensho.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<h3>Our very own Growl Display</h3>\n\n<p>So, not content with the default behaviour of any of the displays (growl notification boxes) that are available in that I would like to let them fade out as normal <strong>but</strong> i would also like the ability to 'pin' or make 'sticky' a notification. Kinda like a sticky note.</p>\n\n<p>So I created a custom display just for us. Here is the design at full resolution.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/3633/soapinotifydisplay.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>I am building it so that all notifications are static height, unlike standard Growl displays, to present a more consistent display. They are just a little wider than most displays I have seen, around 400 pixels.  If this turns out to be an issue with screen real estate we can revisit this and re-institute a more narrow dynamic height notification.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Let me know what you think.</strong></p>\n",

              "body": "@brian - hey. good work on growl. I see the meter source but no example of using it. I can understand how pushing data to an existing notification using a key would work and this would be the best strategy in that I could batch the update requests to the API instead of the current implementation that involves each instance of the display polling for itself. My question is how to track which notifications are still open. I assume that I would simply maintain a local registry of notifications as I open them and then respond to a callback in order to remove them from the update list."

          "body": "<h3>Throttling and Caching</h3>\n\n<p>In order to provide maximum data throughput and at the same time protect your application from, and obviate coding for, server errors due to throttle rate violations and/or polling abuse, Soapi.JS2 implements a caching throttle implementation, <code>Soapi.Net.ThrottleCache</code>, that throttles on a sliding window with a governor supplemented by a per route configurable request cache.</p>\n\n<p>Throttling and caching is optional but <strong>strongly</strong> recommended and is enabled by default.</p>\n\n<p>All http requests are handled by a static instance of <code>ThrottleCache</code> that lives @ <code>Soapi.Net.Throttle</code>.</p>\n\n<p>e.g. </p>\n\n<pre><code>// internal code\nSoapi.Net.Throttle = \n    new Soapi.Net.ThrottleCache(throttleWindowTime, throttleWindowCount, \n    maxActiveRequests, defaultCacheDuration);\n\n// Allow [throttleWindowCount] requests per [throttleWindowTime] \n//       while active requests &lt; maxActiveRequests \n\n// Cache all results [defaultCacheDuration] if an explicit cache rule for that route, \n// e.g. '/users/{id}' is not found.\n\n\nSoapi.Net.Throttle.enqueue(request);\n</code></pre>\n\n<p><strong>Throttling</strong></p>\n\n<p>As a request is accepted by the throttle, the internal request cache is checked for matching results, if found the request is satisified immediately and the workflow is complete.</p>\n\n<p>If a cache hit is not found, the request is placed in a queue which is processed at a regular polling interval. The resolution of this polling timer is arbitrary and can be changed by stopping and restarting the throttle.</p>\n\n<pre><code>Soapi.Net.Throttle.suspend();\nSoapi.Net.Throttle.start(pollingIntervalInMs);\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>At polling time, there are 3 conditions that must be met in order for a request to be sent to the API:</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>that the cache has not received matching data while the request sat in the queue. If this is the case, the request is satsified from the cache.</li>\n<li>that the number of active requests does not exceed the configured maximum active request count. If the number of active requests meets or exceeds the max allowed, processing of the queue is deferred.</li>\n<li>that the interval, in ms, between now and the n<sup>th</sup> previous request, where n<sup>th</sup> is the window count, is equal to or greater than the configured window interval, otherwise processing of the queue is deferred.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>When these conditions are met, a request is popped from the queue and sent to the API.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Caching</strong></p>\n\n<p>Each successful request, <strong><em>after</em></strong> the json has been converted into domain objects, it is placed in a request cache, keyed by the url. </p>\n\n<p>Each cache item is scheduled to be removed from the cache [defaultCacheDuration] milliseconds after it is placed, unless an explicit cache rule has been added for that route, e.g.</p>\n\n<pre><code>// cache stackauth.com/1.0/sites for 5 minutes\nSoapi.Net.Throttle.addCacheRule('/sites', 360000); \n</code></pre>\n\n<p>You can 'seed' the cache with data for fault tolerance or testing purposes by using the same mechanism used internally when a successful response is received and processed, e.g.</p>\n\n<pre><code>Soapi.Net.Throttle.signal(manuallyConstructedSites, '/sites', 'http://stackauth.com/sites?key=yourkey')\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>The single static instance of ThrottleCache will be used by any and all ApiContext instances you may have in play on any single page.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p><strong>Example:</strong></p>\n\n<p>Throttle-cache log from AlphaQuickStart.htm with 30 requests per 5 second window with max 15 active requests and a 60 second default cache duration - note the cache scavenging happening as the browser was left idle.</p>\n\n<pre>\nthrottle: 2010-07-20 20:27:44.830 - request processed: interval: 1282361264830ms\nthrottle: 2010-07-20 20:27:45.027 - request processed: interval: 197ms\nthrottle: 2010-07-20 20:27:45.037 -

Would you be willing to do what the SO team did and offer a private beta while you work out a key/throttle method?</li>\n<li><strong>In regards to hosting</strong>: how will that work? Are you basically just giving registered users XX MB for JavaScript hosting or what? Could StackCenter be moved there if I removed the PHP code?</li>\n<li><strong>Regarding apps</strong>: I saw that somewhere... is there some kind of app system you're setting up?</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><sub>Answering questions like this in comments is silly. We can carry on a conversation here...</sub></p>\n\n<p>[sky]: </p>\n\n<p>r.e. Bandwidth: the usage itself is certainly a concern, but the salient concern is DOS, whether it be a hard shutdown via abuse or an administrative shutdown triggered by hogging the resources of the shared host. I will spend a few hours, soon, coming up with a secure method of providing access to certain data.</p>\n\n<p>Currently I provide access to <code>users/email/{address}</code> on a per-IP authorized basis. Please see <a href=\"#1575\" rel=\"nofollow\">this post</a> for more details.</p>\n\n<p>r.e. Hosting: I intend to provide an environment that will support direct access to the datastore via Ajax (same domain, I do not have the resources to expose JSONP to external consumers) as well as server hosted scripting languages (and perhaps even c# using a sandboxed mono compiler I built last year) for saving state for your javascript apps. The server code will be limited and not suitable for developing apps, only for specifying connector endpoints for the browser based javascript/flash/silverlight etc.</p>\n\n<p>[George]<br>\nFlash won't be a problem because it supports cross-domain policy files.</p>\n\n<p>As for the API, no hurry :)</p>\n",

Those interested in using the API now should monitor this post for the announcement of the process to get a key. There will be a 1 week grace period once the key system is in place for you to get a key. After which non-keyed requests will be denied and abusive IPs will be banned.</p>\n\n<p>When and if a need for more resources and a way to finance it presents itself this policy will be reconsidered.</p>\n\n<p>If you would like to help mitigate hosting costs and possibly upgrade the hosting plan for faster response and perhaps a more open API, means to do so at no cost present themselves to you on every page of the site. ;-)</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p><strong>User Search</strong></p>\n\n<pre>\n   http://stackusers.com/1.0/users/{term}/search\n</pre>\n\n<p>Where <code>term</code> is an email address or a full or partial display name.</p>\n\n<p>Example: </p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://stackusers.com/1.0/users/foo@bar.com/search\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://stackusers.com/1.0/users/foo@bar.com/search</a></p>\n\n<p>Results:</p>\n\n<pre><code>{\n    \"term\": \"foo@bar.com\",\n    \"items\": [{\n        \"site_url\": \"http://stackoverflow.com/\",\n        \"site_name\": \"Stack Overflow\",\n        \"endpoint\": \"http://api.stackoverflow.com/\",\n        \"user_id\": 370536,\n        \"association_id\": \"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\",\n        \"email_hash\": \"f3ada405ce890b6f8204094deb12d8a8\",\n        \"display_name\": \"Cale Gibbard\",\n        \"reputation\": 111\n    }]\n}\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Results are limited to the first 50 matches.

My initial attempts were quite naive, simply caching successful results for a specific period of time.</p>\n\n<p>Casual testing showed this to improve performance and reduce API bandwidth usage as expected.</p>\n\n<p>It was when I implemented lazy loading, e.g stub hydration, that the shortcomings of this approach were exposed.</p>\n\n<p>It became clear that many identical request could be pushed into the cache/throttle in immediate succession resulting in multiple identical requests being made simultaneously.</p>\n\n<p>The obvious problem is that each request checks the cache before proceeding and since the initial request has not completed and cached the results for that url, multiple identical request are issued. This is a no-no for several reasons.</p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, the solution is to implement smart cache items that know when they are pending, valid and expired. Thus when the initial request is recieved, an item is placed in the cache with a state of 'pending' until the request completes whereupon the cache item is populated with data and flagged as valid.</p>\n\n<p>Subsequent requests that are received for that url while the request is pending register as 'waiting'. When the original request completes and signals, the waiting requests simply grab the cached data from memory and carry on.</p>\n\n<p>Implementing this was an interesting challenge in thread management, especially when the Silverlight and Windows Phone environments are factored in, but ultimately, the implementation appears successful.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Fault tolerance</strong></p>\n\n<p>When the complimentary services provided by the throttle and cache are combined in a real world scenario, request failures become a big issue.</p>\n\n<p>If a request is pending for a piece of data that 10 other requests are waiting for and it fails, the failure cascades.</p>\n\n<p>Now, if the failure is a hard error, such as might result from bad parameters or repeatable unrecoverable error, all of the requests are going to fail in any case.</p>\n\n<p>But consider transient network problems or the spurious 500 errors that the server throws occasionally. These types of failures are recoverable.</p>\n\n<p>With this in mind, the requests made by Soapi, upon failure simply rest a moment and retry up to a configurable amount of times. Currently 3 is the default retry count.</p>\n\n<p>This capability spans the throttle and the cache providing an impressive degree of reliability and fault tolerance.</p>\n",

Can you change it to LGPL?</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://soapics.codeplex.com/license\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://soapics.codeplex.com/license</a></p>\n\n<p>My application is proprietary, and the GPL license requires that I distribute source of my app if I simply link to this library.  That's a no-go for me.</p>\n\n<p><strong>code poet</strong>:</p>\n\n<p>There are many reasons that this, and other libraries, are GPL as opposed to LGPL. </p>\n\n<p>You can find a really succinct summary at <a href=\"http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">here</a>. </p>\n\n<p>The altruistic line is that the more free (as in speech as well as beer) software we publish under FLOSS licenses now, the more there will be in the future.</p>\n\n<p>The pragmatic line, which is the one I tend to defer to, is that I am willing to pay forward the hundreds of hours and countless headaches (and those to come) that went into developing Soapi.CS. Anyone who is writing FLOSS, thus paying back and forward, is welcome to use the code without cost or restriction.</p>\n\n<p>Proprietary, or closed source, software, is not '<a href=\"http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">free as in speech</a>' and typically not 'free as in beer', and implies that the free (as in speech, definitely not as in beer) work that has been put into the library is being taken out of with nothing put back in.</p>\n\n<p>But back to the pragmatic part: </p>\n\n<p>It is my feeling that if someone wishes to use my work in proprietary or commercial software that, depending on the particular scenario, some type and degree of recompense is in order and that is where an LGPL exception comes into play.</p>\n\n<p>Whether that be a simple thank you, a prominent attribution, a one time fee or a maintenance agreement etc all depends on the particular situation. </p>\n\n<p>I encourage you (and anyone else) to email me directly at sky.sanders at gmail.com with salient details regarding your project and I am confident that satisfactory arrangements can be made.</p>\n\n<p><sub>Note: this is an issue of substance and should be discussed to the satisfaction of all and the form factor here, e.g. main post and cramped comments, does not lend itself well to that, so I will just carry on the conversation with you here in the main body, if you don't mind.</sub></p>\n\n<p><strong>MakerOfThings7</strong>:</p>\n\n<p>In my situation, this code will probably benefit team@stackoverflow.com more than it will benefit myself.  Basically, I'd like to permit users to log into my site and grant them additional permissions if they have a high SO rating.  This will in turn get you more users through an \"Affiliate\" and sell more advertising.  I'll have the benefit of weeding out spammers and non-technical people. </p>\n\n<p>If you believe it's worthwhile to get payment for the library in this use case, perhaps you should sell it to team@stackoverflow.com</p>\n\n<p><strong>code poet</strong>:</p>\n\n<p>What I infer from your last sentence is that you feel that I am asking too much from you in providing free code for free usage but requiring an explicit agreement for taking it out of FLOSS.</p>\n\n<p>Do please correct me if I am reading you wrong, and in any case let me iterate some things and re-iterate others. ;-)</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>stack overflow does not need a client library for their own codebase</li>\n<li>code poet != stack overflow (and apparently never will be)</li>\n<li>what is worthwile for for Soapi/code poet <strong>!=</strong> what is worthwhile for stack overflow. </li>\n<li>i (hopefully) made it clear that for non FLOSS, <em>some</em> sort of agreement would need to be arrived at and provided some possibilities, including some that involve no cost what-so-ever.</li>\n<li>yes, i feel that my work is of a caliber that deserves compensation in situations that indicate compensation is due. this might just be my ego on overtime, who knows? </li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>With that said, <strong><em>again</em></strong>, I encourage you to email me with salient details regarding your proposed usage of Soapi in a proprietary setting and it is highly likely that satisfactory arrangements can be made but a blanket license shift to LGPL is not in the cards for Soapi.CS.</p>\n\n<p><strong>MakerOfThings7</strong>:</p>\n\n<p>I totally appreciate your work and hope those ideas help you cross promote. I think SO should pay for your library if it drives traffic to their site, since they are getting increased advertising traffic from that.  Maybe you can get compensation from both sides (SO and the consumer).  </p>\n\n<p>When I get closer to actually needing the library, and can find a user based on email hash (has that been implemented?) then I will send you more info at your email addy.</p>\n\n<p><strong>code poet</strong></p>\n\n<p>Regarding the 'users by hash' question, I know the issue has been raised in several posts, <a href=\"http://stackapps.com/questions/394/can-there-be-a-way-to-find-a-user-given-his-email-hash\">here</a>, and in great detail in a meta post that I cannot find, but in short, the only way to do this is to maintain a complete list of users which you index yourself. This is a task that, if handled properly, is not unreasonable from both the perspective of maintenance and that of API usage. The utility of such a dataset goes far beyond simply finding users by email. I will post a CW dev-tip regarding this.</p>\n\n<p><strong>MakerOfThings7</strong>:</p>\n\n<p>Not sure what a CW dev tip is, but I'll look for it when it's ready.  </p>\n",

Simply tell Soapi what you want and it will get it for you.</p>\n\n<p>e.g. \"On my first question, from the author of the first comment, get the first page of comments by that person on any post\" </p>\n\n<p><code>my.Questions.First().Comments.First().Owner.Comments.ToList();</code></p>\n\n<p><sub>(yes this is a real expression that returns the data as expressed!)</sub></p></li>\n<li><p>Full coverage of the API, all routes and all parameters with an intuitive syntax.</p></li>\n<li><p>Strongly typed Domain Data Objects for all API data structures.</p></li>\n<li><p><strong>Eager and Lazy Loading</strong> of 'stub' objects. Eager\\Lazy loading may be disabled.</p></li>\n<li><p>When finer grained control of requests is desired, the core RouteMap objects may be leveraged to request data from any of the API paths using all available parameters as documented on the help pages.</p></li>\n<li><p>A rich Asynchronous implementation.</p></li>\n<li><p>A <strong>configurable request cache</strong> to reduce unnecessary network traffic and to simplify your usage logic. There is no need to go out of your way to be frugal. You may set a distinct cache duration for any particular route. </p></li>\n<li><p><strong>A configurable request throttle</strong> to ensure compliance with the api terms of usage and to simplify your code in that you do not have to worry about and respond to 50X errors.</p>\n\n<p>The RequestCache and Throttled Queue are thread-safe, so can make as many requests as you like from as many threads as you like as fast as you like and not worry about abusing the api or having to write reams of management/compensation code.</p></li>\n<li><p><strong>Configurable retry threshold</strong> that will, by default, make up to 3 attempts to retrieve a request before failing. Every request made by Soapi is properly formed and directed so most any http error will be the result of a timeout or other network infrastructure. A retry buffer provides a level of fault tolerance that you can rely on.</p></li>\n<li><p>An almost identical <strong>javascript library</strong>, <a href=\"http://stackapps.com/questions/494/soapi-js-v1-0-fluent-javascript-wrapper-for-the-stackoverflow-api\">Soapi.JS</a>, and it's full figured big brother, <a href=\"http://stackapps.com/questions/1433/soapi-js2-a-fully-relational-javascript-client-library-for-the-stack-exchange-a\">Soapi.JS2</a>, that will enable you to leverage your server cycles and bandwidth for only those tasks that require it and offload things like status updates to the client's browser.</p></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>License</h2>\n\n<p>Licensed GPL Version 2 license.</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://stackapps.com/questions/386/soapi-cs-a-fully-relational-fluent-net-stack-exchange-api-client-library/1541#1541\">Why is Soapi.CS GPL?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://stackapps.com/questions/386/soapi-cs-a-fully-relational-fluent-net-stack-exchange-api-client-library/1541#1541\">Can I get an LGPL license for Soapi.CS?</a> <sub>(hint: probably)</sub></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Platforms</h2>\n\n<ul>\n<li>.NET 3.5</li>\n<li>.NET 4.0</li>\n<li>Silverlight 3</li>\n<li>Silverlight 4 </li>\n<li>Windows Phone 7</li>\n<li>Mono</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Download</h2>\n\n<p><strike>Source code lives @ <a href=\"http://soapics.codeplex.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://soapics.codeplex.com</a>.

All implementing this would do is encourage developers to write brittle, subtly broken code.

It is about having a clearly defined specification that can be relied upon. </p>\n\n<p>Lumping API traffic in with browsing traffic over which the developer has no control presents an unmanageable criteria.</p>\n",

See examples below. The <code>top xx%</code> has a mouseover that indicates your acutal ranking, e.g. <code>392 out of 148,200</code>.</p>\n\n<p>This service has been running for some months using screen scraping but upon creation of SOAPI-CS I figured I would dogfood it on my own stuff.</p>\n\n<p>I am pleased to say that not only is using the API (and SOAPI-CS) much faster, it also reduced the complexity of the code by orders of magnitude. I am pleased.</p>\n\n<h2>Original announcement:</h2>\n\n<p>I see a few questions on meta.stackoverflow.com regarding user ranking. There are several existing lists but they are focused primarily on users with higher scores.</p>\n\n<p>So, I wrote a small applet that, via a trickle pull, indexes all users for the trilogy and meta down to the 100 rep mark, in order of appearance.</p>\n\n<p>The 100 rep cutoff seems reasonable. On StackOverflow, the vast majority of users are &lt; 100 and pulling that data seems over the top frivolous.</p>\n\n<p>You may access this data in several ways</p>\n\n<p><strong>INTERACTIVE:</strong></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://skysanders.net/tools/sorep/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://skysanders.net/tools/sorep/default.aspx</a> (detailed usage information here)</p>\n\n<p><strong>AUTOGET:</strong> (for you Benjol)</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://skysanders.net/tools/sorep/default.aspx?site=stackoverflow.com&amp;userId=1\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://skysanders.net/tools/sorep/default.aspx?site=stackoverflow.com&amp;userId=1</a></p>\n\n<p><strong>JSON:</strong></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://skysanders.net/tools/sorep/SEStats.ashx?site=stackoverflow.com&amp;userId=1\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://skysanders.net/tools/sorep/SEStats.ashx?site=stackoverflow.com&amp;userId=1</a></p>\n\n<p><strong>JSONP:</strong></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://skysanders.net/tools/sorep/SEStats.ashx?site=stackoverflow.com&amp;userId=1&amp;callback=foo\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://skysanders.net/tools/sorep/SEStats.ashx?site=stackoverflow.com&amp;userId=1&amp;callback=foo</a></p>\n\n<p><strong>Flair</strong></p>\n\n<p>An example of using ranking in Flair is available on the interactive page.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://skysanders.net/images/RankedFlair.PNG\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n",

If you have no api key, API queries will be limited to 300 (or the latest limit) and requests will fail upon usage of that threshold. The JSONP mechanism provides no ability to access response headers and subsequently the x-rate-limit headers that provide usage metrics, so you will simply need to watch for timeouts and respond accordingly.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><code>RouteFactory</code>'s raison d'être is to hold a reference to the target site and the api key and build <code>Route</code> objects via factory methods.

Specifying required 'id' parameters in the factory method call and the application of parameters via explicitly defined parameter objects or json literals will be covered later in this post.</p>\n\n<p>A <code>Route</code>, once constructed via the factory methods on <code>RouteFactory</code>, may be re-used as often as desired.</p>\n\n<p><code>Route</code> exposes two functions</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><code>getResponse(success, error, timeout)</code>.</li>\n<li><code>getPagedResponse(success, error, pageCallback, timeout)</code>.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><strong><code>Route.getResponse</code></strong> parameters:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><code>success</code> (required) - <code>function(data)</code> - <code>data</code> will be a JavaScript object (jsob) built from the response json as defined on the route's help-page.</li>\n<li><code>error</code> (optional) - <code>function(err)</code> - <code>err</code> will be a jsob shaped like this: <code>{ code: number , message: \"String\", url: \"String\"}</code></li>\n<li><code>timeout</code> (optional) - <code>number</code> - The default timeout value is 10,000, or 10 seconds.

You may examine this object to determine if you would like to terminate the paged request. Simply return <code>true</code> if you wish to terminate and receive the current aggregated results in your <code>success</code> function.</li>\n<li><code>timeout</code> (optional) - <code>number</code> - The default timeout value is 10,000, or 10 seconds.

This file contains JavaScript code documented following the <a href=\"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/282129/intellisense-for-ajax-and-javascript-libraries-in-visual-studio\">Visual Studio JavaScript Intellisense Documentation format</a>.</p>\n\n<p>This file, while of special interest to users of Visual Studio, contains complete documentation of the API, including all enumerated constant values and route parameter specifications.</p>\n\n<p>For Visual Studio users: When using Soapi.JS in Visual Studio, the <code>-vsdoc.js</code> file simply needs to reside in the same directory as the <code>soapi.js</code> and <code>soapi.generated.js</code> files. Visual Studio will   </p>\n\n<p>If you are using Visual Studio 2008, you may need to apply the <a href=\"http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB958502/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=1736\" rel=\"nofollow\">JavaScript Intellisense patch</a>. The patch specifies X86, but I can assure you that the same patch is applicable to both x86 and x64.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Enums</strong></p>\n\n<p>As described in the Enumerated Constants post, <code>soapi.js</code> define enums that can help you write stronger code against the Soapi.JS library.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to the interesting 'enum' construct provided by <code>soapi</code>, the <code>soapi-vsdoc.js</code> file enhances the value of the enum types by adding Visual Studio Intellisense and Code Completion via the use of XML Documentation Comments.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://soapi.info/images/soapi.js.enums1.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p><strong>Factory Methods</strong></p>\n\n<p>The factory's intellisense describe the route to be built:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://soapi.info/images/soapi-factory-intellisense1.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>The factory method's intellisense describe the route's 'id' parameters:</p>\n\n<p>NOTE: The documentation is generated directly from the API, so it is assumed that the programmer will know that the 'semicolon-delimited string' description, in the context of Soapi.JS, describes, in the factory method call, a param array, and when setting parameters directly on the route, an array, which will be properly converted and encoded by <code>getResponse</code>.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://soapi.info/images/soapi-factory-intellisense2.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>The route's fields describe themselves:</p>\n\n<p>NOTE: The documentation is generated directly from the API, so it is assumed that the programmer will know that the 'unix timestamp' description, in the context of Soapi.JS, describes a JavaScript <code>Date</code>, which will be properly converted and encoded by <code>getResponse</code>.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://soapi.info/images/soapi-route-intellisense1.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p><strong>Convenience Constructors</strong></p>\n\n<p>When becoming acquainted with a new library, it is sometimes helpful to have code completion assistance and intellisense documentation for the objects returned from API calls.</p>\n\n<p>By leveraging the <code>vsdoc</code> file and a special constructor function, we can build a 'casting' constructor that, if the object passed in is an instance of itself, simply return it, otherwise apply the object passed in to a new instance. This provides intellisense, code completion and method chaining via type inference. </p>\n\n<p>The properties of the response type are enumerated:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://soapi.info/images/soapi-intellisense-cc1.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>The fact that <code>users</code> is an array is demonstrated by the type inference provided by Visual Studio.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://soapi.info/images/soapi-intellisense-cc2.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>Casting an element of the <code>users</code> array to <code>Soapi.Domain.User</code> results in the same effect.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"http://soapi.info/images/soapi-intellisense-cc3.png\" alt=\"alt text\"></p>\n\n<p>While this added functionality may seem trivial, in a scenario where one is dealing with a new/beta/constantly shifting API, this type of assistance can be a great productivity boost. Especially on objects that have many many members and nested objects.</p>\n\n<p>It is Visual Studio's type inference functionality, driven by the <code>-vsdoc.js</code> file, that enables complete intellisense code-completion throughout the compact, or 'fluent', example that is given at the head of the question to this answer.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Next</strong>: <a href=\"http://stackapps.com/questions/494/soapi-js-dates/977#977\" rel=\"nofollow\">Date Handling in Soapi.js</a> - no more greasy unix timestamps.</p>\n",

If you are in doubt as to what is being returned, simply look at the API help page for that route.</p>\n\n<p>The one exception that I have made is to abstract the array property of all 'returns' types to <code>items</code>. This enables more powerful application patterns.</p>\n\n<p>With an understanding of this simple code snippet, you can now easily and freely explore the Stack Overflow API with Soapi.js.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Next</strong>: <a href=\"http://stackapps.com/questions/494/soapi-js/661#661\" rel=\"nofollow\">Enumerated Constants, or enums, in Soapi.js</a></p>\n",

If the query in question returns full objects, i clear the <code>IsStub</code> flag, recursively. Subsequently, upon first access, if a stub and lazy loading is enabled on the context, the object is fetched. In some cases this can add up to a lot of requests, so the context has an eager loading option, wherein when a page of objects are retrieved, all of the stubs are fetched in a single batch, so a request for a page of 100 questions (w body/answers/comments) would result in 2 requests and return all the data."

It slows down your app, wastes bandwidth both net and cpu and exhausts your api key.</p>\n\n<p>So you want to batch them, which means constructing a 'vectorized' or semi-colon delimited string containing the ids of the questions you wish to query.</p>\n\n<p>Something similar to...</p>\n\n<p><code>http://api.stackapps.com/0.9/questions/95;96;97;98;99;100;101;102;103;104;105;106?sort=activity&amp;min=1277476364&amp;max=1593095563&amp;order=asc</code></p>\n\n<p>Which gets these questions <strong>if</strong> they have had activity, e.g. created, answered, edited, between the dates specified in min/max.</p>\n\n<p>The task is to manage the length of the path with the least amount of complexity.</p>\n\n<h3>One Solution</h3>\n\n<p>The code presented is in C# but is quite general and can be applied in most any programming language. I will provide a JavaScript implementation at some later date, others may wish to contribute by providing implementations in their language of choice.</p>\n\n<p>One solution is to create a class that allows you to stuff as many values into it as you like and at your request, batch them up into groups that satisfy your current length requirements which includes then length of your current path without the id component.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Test First</strong></p>\n\n<pre><code>using System;\nusing System.Collections.Generic;\nusing System.IO;\nusing System.Linq;\nusing System.Net;\nusing NUnit.Framework;\n\nnamespace StackApps.Tips\n{\n    [TestFixture]\n    public class VectorizedIdListFixture\n    {\n        [Test]\n        public void Test()\n        {\n            // according to the only semi-answer as to the max length of a\n            // path you need to take into account the length of the path, \n            // e.g.\n            // http://api.foooverflow.com/0.X/foo/{dont count id}/bar\n            // to ensure your path is less that 260.\n\n            // this test shows that ~290 is the max path including protocol\n            // but it seems to waver quite a bit so I am guessing that \n            // urlencoding of the semicolons is being counted on the other end.\n\n            // Creating a usable constant from a variable amount of semis is \n            // a losing fight, so I would suggest 240 as a safe max\n            // path length.\n\n            const int maxPathLength = 240;

That said, what I used worked great, only one suggestion, it would be great if the requests could be synchronous (rather than a-sync), because then when queuing up multiple requests to the same method you don't need to create a watcher.</p>\n\n<p>E.G. I wanted to retrieve 5 individual questions, mixing and matching them from different sites. So:</p>\n\n<pre><code>for (var x=0;x&lt;sitedata.length;x++){\n    var soapi = new  Soapi.RouteFactory(sitedata[x][0], apiKey);\n    var q = soapi.QuestionsById(sitedata[x][1]);\n    q.getResponse(function success(data) {\n         //.....\n    })\n}\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>then needs a <code>setInterval</code> to detect when all the responses have come back (increasing a progress meter along the way). Not a huge thing, probably won't upset too many people, but I found myself constantly creating watchers to then fire another function.</p>\n\n<p>Apart from that, I applaud a job well done and I look forward to your 30\" monitor winning application (although in my opinion you'll be hard pressed to beat <a href=\"http://stackapps.com/questions/623/six-to-eight-an-iphone-client\" rel=\"nofollow\">Six to Eight</a> - if it gets released before the cutoff date).</p>\n",

I have implemented a viable blocking call in the silverlight version, but then I have threads and am able to force the call to be made on a thread other than the UI thread.

Add the 50 bonus points that the site tacks on and the answer with the most votes when the bounty expires picks up a cool <strong>350</strong> rep and a link from <a href=\"http://soapi.info\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://soapi.info</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Use whatever tools and libraries float your boat, jquery, mootools, dojo etc, but interaction with the API must be driven by <a href=\"http://stackapps.com/questions/494/soapi-js-easy-to-use-fluent-javascript-wrapper-for-the-stackoverflow-api\" rel=\"nofollow\">Soapi.JS</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Good luck and may the most ridiculous app win. ;-)</p>\n\n<p><strong>NOTE</strong> Time allowing, I will be happy to answer <em>any</em> questions about the library and help out with code if you get stuck. Simply post an answer describing your problem and any relevant code.</p>\n",
