Improved API documentation
Challonge has been promising to update the API for a year and a half, and the Google group appears to be defunct. I'm an app developer and am building some software I would like to have Challonge integration with, but I am struggling to figure out if what I want to do is even possible.
For example, I want to fetch tournament data and write my own bracket display for any viewer; but the API requires an API key (which only the tournament organizer would have) to fetch data. The documentation states that the api_key is required unless using HTTP Basic, but using http basic just forwards me to the https site and asks me for authentication.
i.e. I can't browse to this site: http://api.challonge.com/v1/tournaments.xml?created_before=2010-08-14 without authentication.
The API seems woefully outdated. Is either better documentation or a new API (that has been talked about for almost two years) going to come along so I can support you guys?
