[API Question] How to use the API ?
Posted: October 22nd, 2010, 2:18 pm
Hello everyone,
this might be a simple question but i was wondering how i could use the API in Java?
Whenever i try to access the follow url i get an error:
url: http://localhost:8080/api?mode=qstatus& ... d05f70efe9
Java error: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
Java code:
result when i go to the site in my browser:
The output i was looking for should be "result" because the apikey entered is wrong and a wanted to read the entire xml file (but only printing out the first node name).
Could someone explain to me how to work with the api?
[edit]
Also adding the &ma_username=USERNAME&ma_password=PASSWORD didn't work (obviously i did enter the correct username and password. i used USERNAME and PASSWORD here just for example purposes).
