This seems a bit iffy, in my opinion. The whole "talk to an API" thing seems marginal. |
|||
First, if the task itself is so complicated that the definition of what the task is doing has to be hosted elsewhere, that seems bad. Why isn't the API documentation included in the task description? |
|||
Second, what is an "event", in the context of this task? Why isn't that documented? |
|||
Third, what is the success criteria, for talking to an external API like this? Is it acceptable for an implementation to be an utter failure? If so, what's the point? If not, how does a reader verify that the code is working? |
|||
Finally, [apparently, currently] none of the implementations are acceptable. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 01:05, 29 December 2014 (UTC) |
