How far away is an API?
8 Answers, 1 is accepted
Unfortunately at this moment we do not have an API for TeamPulse. Creating an API is a feature we really want as well and as such it is in our backlog. For right now however we do have our data service that you could use. We are currently writing a blog post to walk users through using the data service but feel free to look into it yourself. You can navigate to the data service via the link below.
http://localhost:9898/Services/DataService.svc/

I might build build my own webservice that sits on the web-server that I have team pulse installed to push the status updates from our web-app.. i dont think that would be too difficult until the API is done.
Really like the product, but being able to submit user stories from our existing platforms or automatically tracking bugs generated by our sites is a key requirement for us.

Although we are releasing a new version next week with lots of goodies, it will not include anything new with regards to the API. Accessing and updating data via our OData service is still a great option. More on this subject can be found in one of our blog posts here:

Manipulating TeamPulse data is easy going over our OData data service. Start by adding a web service reference to http://<TeamPulse server name>/Services/DataService.svc. If you have the OData protocol analyzer extension you can get a nice visual of our object model (http://msmvps.com/blogs/audrey/archive/2010/06/29/odata-open-data-protocol-visualizer-extension-for-visual-studio-2010.aspx).
I’ve attached a sample project that will lay out the basics for you. It demonstrates getting data using a couple of different methods and also making changes and saving them back to the service. If you have any questions at all, let me know.

Can you give me some examples of when an API would help you where the data service cannot? This will help us further understand your needs.

UPDATE: It looks like you have a basic API...
http://www.telerik.com/agile-project-management-tools/support-resources/documentation/user-guide/rest_api.aspx
But it lacks many necessary calls. It doesn't appear that I can create a bug.
I am trying to integrate from Zendesk which is where many bugs are reported.
Yes, the API that we provide is very basic at the moment. We are planning to provide a full REST API latter this year. Most probably this will happen as we finish with the implementation of the new HTML interface.
My advice is to use oData service to create bugs. If you need any help let us know.
