Topic: Basecamp API / TaskPaper integration via Applescript??

do you know how TaskPaper stores its “tasks” – xml, database, etc? does it have an export function?

Topic: Basecamp API / Is there any Basecamp API that accepts HTML's user-input and return XML?

Hi elijaho,

I’m new to the BC API myself but from what I’ve seen in the documentation, you need to submit your requests in either YAML or XML format.

That means your asp page will have to read in your form variables, construct the right xml block and submit it to the API.

These threads have code samples to help get you started:

In order to handle creating the different types of requests, you’ll have to explore the links on the right of this page:

The strategies I’ve seen basically create these xml blocks as a large string with a few dynamic vars appended.

Topic: Basecamp API / milestones per person

I’m reading through the API to see if there’s a decent way to do this. I have about 5-10 hires and I need to see what’s been assigned to them. Having to look at this in the actual basecamp site isn’t that great because I have to look at each person individually or all milestones at once.

Anyway I’m hoping to develop a chart/grid/anything where I can see a few people’s milestones at once.

However, I don’t see a good way at the moment to see milestones per person. Any ideas/direction/info is appreciated.

Thanks,
K
