Bugs in REST API

mpmcleod

or at least the docs have a bug.

After beating my head against the wall for over an hour I noticed a small but important problem.

smugmug.albums.getStats (and .delete)

requires lowercase sessionID not SessionID as stated on
http://www.smugmug.com/hack/method-smugmug.albums.getStats

smugmug.images.getInfo
works fine with the uppercase SessionID

Any idea when this will be fixed??

Just FYI: Typical turn-around on API bugs is around the 6 month mark. I generally build work-arounds and then turn them off when the bugs get fixed.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the response.

I have hacked around it for now but it is a PITA to build hack arounds for what should be something so simple.

I understand not adding new functionality but I wish they would fix the small problems like this.
