BOINC Api

Hi WCG,

I'm build a service tracking BOINC projects and I'm unable to locate your API. The rest of the projects use the webRPC to track credits and accounts etc.

Could you point me to the correct place to access your BOINC webRPC API?

Are you running a separate API?

How can I track users credits?

Thank you!

Re: BOINC Api

Thank you for the response.

I have seen this page but I do not think it is what I'm looking for.

I am interested in the part:

The following information is used on websites that integrate with World Community Grid:
Account Number:
[my account number]
Show Hosts:

Cross-Project Id:
[my cpid]
External Authorization Code:
[my auth code]

But I cannot find anywhere that documents the available api requests from third parties.

Re: BOINC Api

The data I'm looking for is here:

https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/stat/viewMemberInfo.do?userName=kingsds

is there anyway to get this data without loading the entire page?

Re: BOINC Api

Look in help for verification key. It allows pulling your contribution page in xml.

In fact, it's the second item in the link ~~Doneske~~ deltavee provided.,
