Question about the allocation format

[idancali]

Is there's a discrepancy between your posted definition of the JSON format and the
simple example or am I missing something?

In the example, I'm making this request:

http://picky-simple-example.heroku.com/search/full?query=pinchn~&offset=0

And I get this back:

{"duration":0.00101,"total":1,"offset":0,"allocations":[["books",6.0,1,[["title","pinchn~","pynchon"]],[],["<div class='book'><p>\"The Self-Conscious Novel: Artifice in Fiction from Joyce to Pynchon\", by Stonehill, Brian</p><p>1988, University of Pennsylvania Press, 9780812280982</p><p>Fiction & Literature; Reference & Languages</p></div>"]]]}

The discrepancy is in the empty array after the search terms:

... [["title","pinchn~","pynchon"]],[], ....

Where did that come from? It doesn't match with your original description of the JSON format.

Once again, am I missing something?

Thanks,

It's the array of ids, see the example on https://github.com/floere/picky/wiki/Results-format-and-structure#the-structure:

["books", 7.39, 1, [["title", "Pinchn~", "pynchon"], ["title", "Novel", "novel"]], [27]]

However, in the simple example, the ids are not provided (man, that example is old – I need to retire it). A better example is perhaps: http://search.cocoapods.org/api/v1/pods.picky.ids.json?query=author:eloy
(with strings as ids).

Cheers!

I see, I've looked at the CocoaPods api and that makes sense. Thanks.

BTW, I'm working on a Picky iOS kit. The initial version just made it as a cocoapod in the master repo.

PS. cool stuff on Picky overall, I'm planning to play around with the Ruby server itself when I get a chance
