Xander Kappler added a comment - 09/Jan/10 05:35 AM I would add in addition to the email option, there should be an API access to the transaction history. About a year ago, I wrote a PHP program to log into my account, download my transaction history XML for the last few days and dump it into a SQL database. This worked great until SL changed the website. Now I'm having trouble getting it to work under the new website. (Side note, if anyone else has this working under the new site, would love to know what you did). A simple API to authenticate and access information like the Transaction history should be much easier to accomplish than automatically emailing the transaction history and setting up the whole framework to manage the interval settings on a per user basis. It could be limited to Premium Users A User could activate API access (one checkbox in account settings) They would be given a API key that they would use when accessing their account. They could either log in using their SL username and password or they could set a API password for their user to protect their real password. So now account is protected by the API key and the API password. (one additional field for API Password) Should include the same parameters as the current txt history page, ie. start_date=...&end_date=...&include_zero=Y&lang=en Login could either be token cookie based like: /api/login.php?.... (get token cookie) /api/transactions.php?......type=xml Or it could be with Basic Authentication (assuming https) /api/transactions.php (basic authentication sent in header)
