Chris,

I've played with both the CastleOS_WCF_API and the ScriptingAPI, and the ScriptingAPI's list of available methods is quite lacking in comparison (18* vs ~280 methods/properties). Is this because the scripting API is still in development? Or is deliberately simplified?


(*At least according to what the Reference DLL is showing me; maybe it's incomplete?)

Also, you mentioned in another thread that the plugin API is now available; do you have any documentation/sample projects for that?

Thanks,

-Scott

Hi Scott, the Scripting API is deliberately lightweight when compared to the web services APIs and the plugin API. Anything you can't do via the scripting API should be done in a plugin instead (generally speaking, there are probably a few methods we'll add to the Scripting API based on feedback).

As far as how to use the plugin API, I'll send you a link to a video, though we'll be announcing it formally in a day or two.

Thanks,
Chris
