New to API usage

[Cusem]

I never used API's before. I'd like to interface with the Amazon S3 API, Google Analytics API and Google Adsense Management API.

Is this possible with AutoIT?

Does somebody maybe has a tip on how to get started? Example script, documentation?

Thanks!

[Cusem]

bump. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Would even be willing to pay, except if that's against forum usage rules of course.

It is possible of course. But the question is why in AutoIT ?

There are multiple libraries available for other languages like PHP, .NET, JAVA, etc. but not yet any for AutoIT :-(

A few years back I developed the Google API connector for Google Docs in AU3.

But it take a lot of reading and testing to get it going.

So building it from scratch is possible but it will take quite some time doing so.

You can start looking at

ObjCreate("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0")

to do the HTTP Requests.

Thanks for reply ptrex. I'll look into MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0.

AutoIT is the only scripting language I'm familiar with. I've never used PHP, .Net or Java.

I got around it using the "S3.EXE" tool. This doesn't do everything I need, but does take care of the most important part; uploading files to an Amazon S3 bucket.

Hi Cusem, did you manage to use the "list" command using the s3 tool from autoit?

my code below returns nothing:

#include <Constants.au3>

dim $cmdOUT

$PID = run("s3.exe list",@TempDir,@SW_MAXIMIZE,$STDOUT_CHILD)
ProcessWait($PID) 
While 1
$line = StdoutRead($PID)
If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
$cmdOUT &= $line
Wend
$rawIPC = $cmdOUT
MsgBox(1,"$cmdOUT=",$rawIPC)
