Backpack API AppleScript Wrapper

 

 

24 Jul

This is the home of my run at an AppleScript wrapper for the Backpack API .
Note: This comes without any kind of warranty whatsoever. All that exists at this point are basic handlers with no error handling.

There is nominal SSL support but I haven’t tested it.

I’m using this page as my todo list for working on this. Changes noted in the list may not be in the latest available file. If you have anything to add, want to help; drop me a line at the forums

Backpack LIB b0.1 3 Jun

Lays out basic handlers for all the functions.

I’ve tested the first few and will work through the rest this weekend making sure they do the basics correctly. Then I’ll be thinking about specific applications.

Personally I’m interested in getting basic entry automated through Launchbar , after that we’ll see.

Backpack LIB b0.2 8 Jun

I may post this early just because my regular workload is high so I’m only getting to poke along at it.

I’ve worked out how to work with the results from XML Tools and have started on handlers to convert the API responses into proper AppleScript record lists that can be easily tested for values.

I’ve modified the request handler to return an AS record list and also to check the response for success and pass ‘false’ if not.

I’m currently working on handlers to work with the page handlers and provide responses in clean record lists.
