Topic: Basecamp API / Getting the Company ID from a person that isn't in a Client Company

Hi all,

I’m trying to get the Company info for a current user. If they’re not from the Basecamp-owning company (The “Firm”), you can see the person’s Client-Id. However, if they are from The Firm, the Client-Id is 0.

How can I get that user’s company info?

Ahh, I see! Thanks Jeff!

Over 700 readers and no reply? So I guess there’s no good explaination for this?

Topic: Basecamp API / Getting To-Do Items

That seems very silly… I would assume most people only care about things that still need to be done most of the time.

Are there any plans to update the API? Features like that (and improved time tracking, and better sorting, and a bunch of other things) would really improve the overall user experience.

Well… I forgot textilize works in the forums, and now I feel foolish… Imagine there’s asterickses (asteri?) around ‘like this’ in my above post.

Topic: Feature Requests / Textilizing Todos

I always write things like this in todos expecting them to be bold, and I can’t be the only one! I’d love to see textilize added to the todo lists. Who’s with me?

Topic: Basecamp API / Weird code in the ruby wrapper

I was looking at the ruby wrapper for the api, and I came across this line of code:

if response.code.to_i / 100 2

Why would you do this? Is there an advantage to comparing response.code ‘200’ (which they do a few lines down for 302s)?

Is there ever going to be an update for this sucker? It seems so lacking.

Topic: Basecamp API / Create project?

I just think any updates to the API would be great. It’s lacking in a lot of areas.

Furthermore, is there no way to get a single item out of a todo list by id?

When you’re signed in as a user, just make a call to:
/projects/list

Topic: Basecamp API / Getting To-Do Items

Hi there,

I feel that I must be doing something wrong. I am getting back a to-do list, and I have to loop through every record to find out which items are completed and which are not. It seems silly that there’s not interface to get uncompleted items from a list. Am I missing something?
