Linden Lab Official talk:Inventory API

The LLIDL entries need some <syntaxhighlight> love :)

The <python></python> tags are obsolete, deprecated, and have been purged from this Wiki :-)

What this page needs instead is something like this:

&category = {
   agent_id        : uuid,
   category_id     : uuid,
   parent_id       : uuid,
   name            : string,
   type_default    : int,
   version         : int,
}

which, of course, is achieved with the following markup:

<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
&category = {
   agent_id        : uuid,
   category_id     : uuid,
   parent_id       : uuid,
   name            : string,
   type_default    : int,
   version         : int,
}
</syntaxhighlight>

... assuming that you really want it to be highlighted as Python code, of course.

... also, isn't this Inventory API outdated?

I've noticed a few things in this API description:

  1. No endpoints are mentioned, so one must assume that the developer knows where to find them!
  1. Authentication is not really 'explained' but rather 'assumed'
  1. Hasn't this API been superseded with Linden Lab Official:Inventory API 3? If so, why isn't there any mention of this most important fact? Or are both versions (2 and 3) active in parallel, to cater for ancient viewers (or TPVs built on ancient APIs)? Or are the two APIs meant for two completely different things? If so, maybe they need an introductory paragraph explaining the context for each of the APIs.

If v3 superseded v2 completely, and v2 has been deprecated and removed, then it's time to move this page to the historic archive, and make sure all the old links point to the 'new' API instead.
