I am familiar with java and javascript.

 

However, I'm not familiar enough to know what/how to use an API.

 

I code in Notepad++ or Eclipse.  Is it possible to view/use the API in these?

Thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for.

 

The swagger part. I still have no idea what to do with the API documentation.

Thanks! That is helpful.  I've managed to do a few things of little importance.  Is there a sub forum with a group of people that wouldn't mind helping me through an issue or two as I learn?  The issue may not be related to the API.

I would just use this thread, unfortunately i'm no good with JS so cant help.

Alright, I am working with a script Mongoose made that I linked to above.

I've added years, ratings, and code to run through boxsets.

 

Though my boxsets all end up at the very end of the div.  I'm not sure why. Can anyone offer some assistance?

At a guess (given 5 minutes of looking at the code) I'd say its because getJson is an async call, which JavaScript doesn't wait for.

So, it'll finish appending all the non-boxset items before it gets the response from the getJson call and therefore appends those afterwards.

Make sense?
