This is something that EVERYONE has been begging for since the beginning of 2017 and we don’t even have an update on it!!! People are getting very impatient waiting on wix to create the features that they request on the wix forum and wix blog so it would make A LOT of people happy if we could AT LEAST have access to all the APIs of the wix forum and blog to create our own features that we want. I FINALLY got a answer from someone at the wix forum and he said that when they finally DO realease the forum APIs, that it will be a “slow process”, meaning that they will not release ALL of the APIs at Once. And my response to that is WHY???
It takes a long time to develop and test things. More time is spent testing than actual developing things like these. So if they release it all and they all have bugs, they will be scrambling trying to fix them. So by releasing in batches, they can fix them quicker and easier if there is an issue. Also, they release a lot of new features for their apps so they also have to update the APIs as well so they don’t break everyone’s code. They might be waiting until they are finished releasing all the updates to their apps before the APIs are released to reduce the amount of going back and redoing things.
Hi Dan,
I’m leading Wix Forum at Wix.com. We really want to release the API’s for Wix Code, and we will, I cannot give you a date yet, but its something we will definitely do in the upcoming year.
May I ask what is the most urgent thing that you want to do with the Forum once you’ll be able to use the API’s?
Better Search Filtering, And Better Filtering by Posts (For Example Let us create custom Filters for our Forum) I would like to Filter by creating customer Filter Options (ie: Year, Make. Model, Price) etc for my Automotive Blog.
Whatca think?
