<p>Welcome to TheyWorkForYou's API section, where you can learn how to query our database for information.</p>

<h3>Overview</h3>

<ol style="font-size:130%">
<li>
<? if ($THEUSER->loggedin()) { ?>
<a href="key">Get an API key (or view stats of existing keys)</a>.
<? } else { ?>
<a href="key">Get an API key</a>.
<? } ?>
<li>All requests are made by GETting a particular URL with a number of parameters. <em>key</em> is required;
<em>output</em> is optional, and defaults to <kbd>js</kbd>.
</ol>

<p align="center"><strong>http://www.theyworkforyou.com/api/<em>function</em>?key=<em>key</em>&amp;output=<em>output</em>&amp;<em>other_variables</em></strong></p>

<? api_key_current_message(); ?>

<p>The current version of the API is <em>1.0.0</em>. If we make changes to the
API functions, we'll increase the version number and make it an argument so you
can still use the old version.</p>

<table>
<tr valign="top">
<td width="60%">

<h3>Outputs</h3>
<p>The <em>output</em> argument can take any of the following values:
<ul>
<li><strong>xml</strong>. XML. The root element is twfy.</li>
<li><strong>php</strong>. Serialized PHP, that can be turned back into useful information with the unserialize() command. Quite useful in Python as well, using <a href="http://hurring.com/code/python/serialize/">PHPUnserialize</a>.</li>
<li><strong>js</strong>. A JavaScript object. You can provide a callback
function with the <em>callback</em> variable, and then that function will be
called with the data as its argument.</li>
<li><strong>rabx</strong>. "RPC over Anything But XML".</li>
</ul>

</td><td>

<h3>Errors</h3>

<p>If there's an error, either in the arguments provided or in trying to perform the request,
this is returned as a top-level error string, ie. in XML it returns
<code>&lt;twfy&gt;&lt;error&gt;ERROR&lt;/error&gt;&lt;/twfy&gt;</code>;
in JS <code>{"error":"ERROR"}</code>;
and in PHP and RABX a serialised array containing one entry with key <code>error</code>.

</td></tr></table>

<h3>Licensing</h3>

<p>To use parliamentary material yourself (that's data returned from
getDebates, getWrans, and getWMS), you will need to get a
<a href="http://www.opsi.gov.uk/click-use/parliamentary-licence-information/index.htm">Parliamentary Licence</a> from the Office of Public Sector
Information.

covered by the <acronym title="Pan-Government Agreement">PGA</acronym>
under the <a href="http://www.dca.gov.uk/">Department for Constitutional
Affairs</a>; you will have to get your own licence to re-use them. */ ?>

to use the service on a large scale. Please credit TheyWorkForYou if you
use the API.

<h3>Bindings</h3>

<p>These help you interface with the API more easily in a particular language:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://codefluency.com/articles/2006/11/21/tfwy-1-0-0-released/">Ruby</a> (thanks to Bruce Williams and Martin Owen)</li>
