GCA and c:geo

Post by Laighside Legends » 07 January 14 6:17 pm

How much longer until c:geo has live access for GCA caches?

They've had a few opencaching sites (not the Garmin one) with live access for a while now. In today's update they added live access for http://extremcaching.com/ (which I've never heard of) which made me wonder how much longer until GCA in included? Going off the c:geo website they seem to be happy to support any site which uses the "OKAPI-interface". Is this something GCA could do?

We have an interface people can use.

Happy to work with anyone who wants to use it.

Never heard of OKAPI

OKAPI is the OpenCaching API.

Is that something that would work with GCA?

Possibly, however we can't use the API out of the box as we use a vastly different database structure and authentication scheme to the OC guys and the time to modify (and the issues around maintaining it) probably outweigh implementing it at the moment.
