Two updates to report:

1) I've added GPX support to training/import

2) There's some documentation here: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/api-doc.php - at the moment it just lists the accepted / required parameters, but I'll add to it as we go. It's auto-generated, so as I add new methods, they'll show up automatically.

That would be sweet. I spoke to garmin about their api recently for use with GoldenCheetah and they wanted 5k! WTF!

Small bit of API feedback: if I upload iffy run data (I didn't url encode it correctly), I still get a response outcome of SUCCESS even though no run has been added to my log - I'd expect a FAIL. The returned run id is still an empty field in this case, though.

Ok, I'll see what I can do about that.

To all watchers of this thread: join the developer group as well please - link on the right. Ta.

I also have some Python scripts to upload tomoz (thanks Badger). Would be great to have some Java and Objective C classes to demo too. Anyone?

I hit the same issue nuttyficket did with incorrectly encoded and compressed data returning success.

Another request/suggestion: can uid be an optional argument? You seen to already know who we are so it seems unnecessary to specify our own uid in requests.

Regarding other implementations: I've got a ruby implementation which needs a little tidying and then I'll publish the GitHub (you should bung your examples up on GitHub too;-)) repo here.

Morning :-)

I've made some adjustments. If the import code can't process the file i.e. can't create a valid XML DOM from the string you supply, it will return a fail message now.

BFC - you're right in that technically we could do without the uid when you're importing to your own account - but I validate it against the list of users who have approved an 'app' to work on their behalf.

Badger's Python examples are now live - see the link in the thread description over on the right.

Just run some code that pulls the last few activities & identifies the newest, then runs through tcx files in a directory, identifies newer ones than are in the log and uploads them as the appropriate type. With a UI and some improvements to detecting a fresh upload, this might actually be useful.

Putting them on GitHub is a good call, I reckon. OK by you, Fetch?

My only concern at the moment is what will happen if someone imports a trillion files. But hey, go for it :-)

I imported two, seeing as that was all the un-uploaded files I had :)
Anything you can do to choke things on your end?
Where my (current) code would run into trouble is if somebody made a new account and tried to upload all their existing data; as it stands, it won't upload anything older than the newest, even if that isn't in the database already. This is probably quite a useful way for it to be dumb.
