Where in the API?

Spencer Lee Thomason said: am trying to find how I can access all of the various research-help via the API? I can see that if I make a call like below, I can find the record-hint. I need to be able to have other "Research Help" items exposed in a similar way. What is the best way to do this?

With a hint:
UI
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/per...
AJAX call
https://www.familysearch.org/service/...

Without hint:
UI
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/per...
AJAX call
https://www.familysearch.org/service/...

I think we will just have to call that for each of the children. On parents we can look for the icon, for the kids, we will have to make that 2nd call.

So I have scoured here: https://www.familysearch.org/develope...

I can't find the exacts of what I am searching for (see original post).

I was looking here:
https://www.familysearch.org/develope...
and the section about "Record Hinting". The links are all broken.

Like I said, I found some that did work, but I can't find something to work for the following:
-Needs More Info
-In Progress
-Request Ordinances
-Research Suggestions
-Data Problems

Can you give me an example of which API calls would return these?

Thanks!

What is the relation between LYXT-BDB and cis.user.MMMM-64LL?

Can ANY INDIVIDUAL write their own personal application to access and manipulate the FS FamilyTree via the API? I thought that this was tightly limited to only certain organizations.

Tom Huber said: I'm going to speculate, giving no other information from Joe or anyone else on the weekend, that you will need to ask these questions in a developer forum.

See https://www.familysearch.org/develope... for various support functions.

Those of us users who inhabit this forum and offer our experience are concerned more with the operation through the UI of FamilySearch, rather than dealing with the API calls.

There may also be a community forum for developers... See https://community.familysearch.org/s/... and select the FamilySearch Products and Tools category. You may have to log in with your FamilySearch credentials to access the community (normally reached by clicking on Help ... Community.

Lyle Toronto said: It's not advised to use the API services that the UI uses. These will change and update without warning as the UI changes and updates. More generic and stable APIs are available. If you follow the links that Joe provided you can find them. This link gets you a little closer. https://www.familysearch.org/develope...
