Are you supplying the proper "X-Tba-App-Id" header to identify your request? I can run the following command and get the proper response back.

curl --header "X-Tba-App-Id:foo:baz:baz" http://www.thebluealliance.com/api/v2/events/2014

If you need some help with using the API through java, take a look at this file in the TBA Android app - it should be a good starting point.

I forgot. Thanks for that! I added it as a URL param.
Also thanks for the file link. That should come in handy!

Some major improvements have been made recently. I'm working on tba lookups right now (with the last score of an event, some event data, etc. already done). I also added a .cdsearch function so you can search CD from IRC. I'll document everything once this is finished. For now, if you want to check things, you should go look at my source code on GitHub (and star it, while you're at it).

It's been a while since I've posted here.

I have added a .help command, as well as some code for a very nice surprise once the competitions start
