Integrating ColdFusion and the REST API for Harvest (TimeSheet Service); Accessing XML in CF
Note: This blog post is from 2009. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.Often we will find API docs for a given service without any reference to a CFML example. I just experienced that, and while I offered a suggested example to the vendor, I wanted to share it here in case it never gets posted. At least if someone Googles in the future they may find this. Also, I conclude with some insights into learning more about the power of XML processing in CF.
I'll demonstrate here calling the REST API for the Harvest online timesheet application. (If you would want to point me to another alternative timesheet app, no need as I'm happy. I realize there are many. Indeed, I list many of them on my CF411 site section for time tracking tools and services.)
Ever need to do a search for files with some given text (or files of a given name) in Windows? I realize you may use a favored file editor to do it, or (worse) may rely solely on the anemic Windows find. I'd like to point you to an awesome and free alternative.
