Hey all. I'm trying to create some cool tools for our clan to use (and I love Destiny and programming so its a nice fit). I've been coding in Python/Java for more than 10 years but have never really done much work over the web (mainly engineering specific programs/applications/GUIs). Does anyone have some good tutorial information on understanding GET/POST and all of the bungie API information? Just by brute force using the requests package I've been able to query membership ID, character, character levels, etc by analyzing the GET feedback and just feeding off of that but I'd like to go further with some more understanding from the ground up. Any help is much appreciated!!
PS. I've seen a few sources on python for PSN Authentication, etc so I've been gleaning what I can from posts like that. Also, im on xbox so I'll probably start with that so any xbox specific URLs i may need (for auth) would be appreciated!
Also, maybe we could sticky some of the responses from this for other newcomers like myself :-)

Here's the Bungie hosted documentation: [url]http://www.bungie.net/platform/Destiny/help/[/url] It's lack luster, but it has the public endpoints and the parameters need to get data. I've also been working in Python to interface with the Destiny platform. If you'd like to see what I've done, let me know! It's not the best by any means, but I have functions for accessing some of the endpoints.

Edited by ermff: 4/19/2015 8:46:52 AMI've been developing an API wrapper for Destiny in Python as of late. I have some example Python applications (CLI, IRC bot, and Flask app as of now) for you to get an idea on how to use it. Feel free to make some pull requests if you want to help improve it.
