Computors are not really my "thing" or at least since programming using Fortran…
So just to get me started how do I access the API?
Or/and what program do I need on a Apple Mac? Is it a part of Adobe creative suite?
Is there a beginers guide somewhere? I don't know what to look or search for.
This prob sounds dense to most of you - just looking for a pointer at how to learn.
Thanks Graham

The API is not really meant to be used by humans, it's meant to be used by custom software talking to BrickOwl. And someone has to write that custom software.
Are there BrickOwl operations you would like to perform, and for which you think the API would help?
You could do what I did as a beginner - start off by Googling API and work from there. Allow one full month of evenings and weekends just to get your head around the terminologies, then you'll be ready to decide which programming software is right for you. After that, the real challenge begins. It's a reverse learning curve because the biggest hurdle (authentication) comes first.
It is possible to figure out though, but you have to be VERY determined and prepared to figure it out for yourself in the early learning stages.
If non of the above appeals, you'll just have to accept that APIs are a feature provided by developers for use by other developers.
After I've got taxes out the way - I definately intend to give it a go!
