Third Party API Integration

[mrw45]

I am looking to build applications that need to sync with third party APIs like Google, RememberTheMilk, and Toodledo.

Is LiveCode a good choice for me?
Which version of LiveCode will be best?
What are my best options in terms of architecture in this situation. I will be building mobile, web, and desktop applications, all of which need to keep the user synced with the third party database as well my supporting database.

Thanks for the advise.

Hi,

If you are able to write the necessary libraries to communicate with those API's, then LiveCode will be fine for you. Note that the libraries that are often available for PHP and Python will have to be written from scatch for LiveCode. This takes very advanced LiveCode skills.

Usually, the latest version of LiveCode is the best Perhaps you mean license? It is simple: hobby programmers buy the personal license, schools the educational license, everyone else the commercial license.

I would not try to build a web app with LiveCode. The RevWeb plugin is pretty much obsolete. Don't waste your money on it. Personally, I think RevLets are a great idea, but only of the plugin is updated regularly, which it isn't.

I'm not sure I understand your question regarding architecture. Can you be more specific?

Kind regards,

Mark
