[TBA] The Blue Alliance API
 

In preparation for the 2008 Competition Season, The Blue Alliance is releasing The Blue Alliance API. The Blue Alliance API allows developers to integrate data from The Blue Alliance pertinent to teams, events, matches, and team attendance within their own applications. This presents the developer with an exciting opportunity to build systems that respond dynamically to team and event statistics, and more.

We hope that people are able to use this interface to display team statistics on their team websites, match information on regional websites, and maybe even roll this into some sort of scouting application! Read the documentation online. To apply for an API key, send a message to contact+apikey@thebluealliance.net.

So once you’re sick of writing C to do twelve laps in hybrid mode, consider breaking out some web development languages and have fun with our new API!

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance API
 

This is an awesome API. I am doing some cool apps to show off the power of the API. So stay tuned.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance API
 

We've given out API keys to the first round of developers. I can't wait to see what they come up with. If you'd still like to get onboard, just e-mail us at contact+apikey@thebluealliance.net.

how is it updated to show all of the regionals we are attending this year. Its missing our main one, the Hawaii regional.:D

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance API
 

It pulls this information from the FIRST website. You, however, spotted a most critical error. Hawaii was flagged as an "unofficial" event in our database, so the script wasn't looking for it.

I just flipped this bit and now all the teams attending Hawaii should correctly show up.

Thanks!

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance API
 

Thanks to Eric Haskins and Austin Wright we have squashed a big bug affecting the API. Team data no longer breaks on unusual entities!

Thanks guys!

Wow, although I don't understand any of the technical jargon, this looks/sounds really cool. I'll have to tell our team webmaster about it. :yikes:

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance API
 

If anyone is interested I have a .NET client library for the API, and a console application which allows you to query any of the data.

They aren't to the point where I'd like to post them publicly, but if anyone is intersted in getting a copy send me an e-mail or PM.

Re: [TBA] The Blue Alliance API
 

I have got my .net TBA client to a point where I think its ready for other people to use. If anyone has questions, comments, bug reports, ect., please contact me. My Skype, MSN, and e-mail, are in my profile, you can contact me using any of those methods.
