After numerous attempts of interacting with the Pownce API (based on what I was digging through in the communications between the AIR client and the server) I still was not able to connect and get data. I was able to call /api/available/ and get a 200 OK, as well as /api/login/ and get a login token as well. But when it came to getting the list of posts via /api/notes/for/kylehayes/, I passed in the right information and compiled my WSSE passwordDigest as per the instructions, it still did not work.

However, through my Googling, I found someone that was trying to do exactly what I was trying to do, only instead of making the API calls in ColdFusion like I was, he was doing it in Python.

Well, Clint was successful last night. He managed to create a some functions in Python that are able to send the four different types of messages to the public. His post is rather detailed, but thanks to the simplicity of Python, most developers should be able to read it.

He also announced this morning, PyPounce on Google code.

Good job, Clint! The community is excited to jump in and get started.

P.S. Clint, listen to your boss…ColdFusion is a pretty neat language.
