Tuning DB API
Documentation
You have an API key so we have used your real key where required in the documentation examples.
When we show an example using the API key you will see:
[Your API key]
You can copy these examples as is.
In this documentation you will be shown where you need to use your API key. This will show as:
[Your API key]
In your real code you must replace this holder with your real API key.
Introduction
There are three ways you can use the API. These are:
-
Quickstart
Quickstart is the quickest and easiest way to implement the tuning database on your website. It doesn't require any server side changes to your website or any javascript knowlege although you will have to know how to copy and paste javascript code into your website templates.
Using the quickstart code, the pasted javascript will render all the controls and data you need to show the tuning database information on the page. By default these controls will render themselves using your websites default styles but you can override this and style them as you want if you can access and edit the site CSS.
-
Javascript implementation
This is a more sophisicated javascript implementation which allows you to access the data directly from the API using javascript. Whilst this is more work and requires a more detailed knowledge of javascript it gives you the flexability to present the data in any way you want.
-
Advanced implementation
The advanced is a server side solution which allows you to download and store the tuning data in your own server and automatically receive updates and changes to it as and when they happen. This is the most sophisticated solution and allows you to manipulate and use the data any way you want on your website or within any other project connected to the web. You may need the assistance of a web developer.
