Idea #7: Link to original Source data

Written by David C the 15 Jul 09 at 16:03. Category: Gathering Plings Data. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
The Plings API's did once have, but no longer seem to have a field to send information about the original data source of an activity - e.g. the web address of that activity on it's original website.

It would be good to gather and publish this data

Solution #1: Create an original source field in both input and output API's
Written by David C the 15 Jul 09 at 16:03.
We used to have ActivitySource in the API for just this reason.

It became ActivitySourceID as we made that field required, but it serves a different function as a unique identifier for a data provider. (it could be a URL but not sure how practical that is for people

A simple addition of an optional field in both the input and output API's should deal with this.
