rezscore api implementation - discussion

[natebenson]

We want to use rezscore's api to power our suggestions. Would love to get your thoughts:
http://rezscore.com/api

[natebenson]

Tyler is thinking we can anonymize the data prior to sending it to the api, so we don't compromise any student information. Also, Tyler says the data comes in an xml file, so we can pull all the data and present it however we want to format it.

[UnspeakableHorror]

There's no example about using the api, hmm. @tylerbenson do you have access to it?

[tylerbenson]

Yeah, just go ahead and create an account. Use rezscore@vyllage.com as the email.

[tylerbenson]

Can you create a simple text template that we can send to them?

[UnspeakableHorror]

A text template containing what? The resume? Isn't the content of the JSON sections enough?
Sorry but I have no idea about what you want me to do.

[UnspeakableHorror]

Their api is not working right now, I followed an example and did:

GET http://rezscore.com/a/ourAPIkey/skill/MySQL

I got:

Query failed, please consult the webmasterSELECT * FROM skill_formatting WHERE term = 'MySQL'

[tylerbenson]

Did you review this: http://rezscore.com/images/RezScore_API_Documentation.pdf
Have you tried the grading API? Is that working ok?

[UnspeakableHorror]

Yes, when it failed I didn't try anymore. The document doesn't say anything about how they expect our document to be other than text.

I'll try again today sending a plain text resume to see what happens.

Tried posting a resume:http://rezscore.com/a/apicode/grade?resume="Backend developer" results in error 202 "202:
INVALID CALL
–
The action you attempted to call does not exist or is not provisioned for
your account."

calling the api without the parameter and the resume in the request body results in "NO RESUME POSTED" (edited)

I don't think this is working.

The api doc is a two page pdf that was last updated in 2011, I really don't think using them is a good idea...

@tylerbenson @natebenson So, can we close this?

[tylerbenson]

I'll assign it back to me for now.
