OKAPI
The description below is primarily for OC administrators AND people who want to help implement OKAPI backend.
About OKAPI
OKAPI is a publically available API for "National Opencaching" sites.
- It provides OC site with a set of useful well-documented API methods,
- Allows external developers to easily read public Opencaching data,
- Allows read and write private (user-related) data with OAuth Authentication.
The project has grown to become a standard and common API for all National Opencaching.xx sites.
OKAPI is an integral part of the Opencaching-PL code fork, i.e. an OCPL site will run properly only with OKAPI installed. For the Opencaching-DE code fork, OKAPI is an optional plugin - all other services of the site will run independently from OKAPI.
