DGCR API Addition

[timg]

Just added the ability for app developers to submit scores directly to DGCR! If you have a favorite scoring app and want to see DGCR score submission integrated be sure to email the developers and let them know!

You can point them to this page for details: http://www.dgcoursereview.com/api.php

API will cost $.. kind of limit those free scorecard apps.

I don't know if it will be cost effective to have a subscription.. say I make a .99 disc golf app.. then subscribe.. sure get 1084 people to download it.. then after how many months I have to cut it off..

One time API vs monthly may get more interest.

Submitting scores is free. It's only if you want to pull data that there is a subscription (which isn't really that expensive). The reason you have to pay for that part of the API is I'm just trying to cover my butt if some app suddenly gets insanely popular and I'm dealing with tens of thousands of requests per day.

Has anyone heard back from any developers regarding this addition? Timg any chance the ability to upload a .csv to the scorecard would be added to the site?

No plans for the ability too import csv. I don't really want to mess with figuring out how each app out there formats the files it exports.

CSV's could be standardized to your format.... Simply provide the requirements.. smart folks out there can figure out how to convert to your requirement

True... but if you're modifying the file then why not just enter your score, it would probably be less time consuming. You'd still have to choose a course, tee, etc. after import anyway.
