In lieu of an API, I'd like to use PHP and cURL with my browsers cookie cache to emulate adding tasks via the browser.

I'm needing to input 60 some tasks and I'd rather do so via a script than my poor hands on a keyboard. In studying the POST that results from creating a task, I find most of it makes sense, but I'm not sure how important the id is (can I successfully submit without one?) or how to create a valid one.

   hey tara, you need the id. You need to generate one for new tasks.

   You can examine how its done in the ruby gem https://github.com/meeech/nirv/blob/master/lib/nirvanahq/task.rb#L1... where I prepare the payload, you can see the defaults I set. You could use that to script on the CLI as well.

   Here's a copy of the UUID function nirvana uses (javascript)

   function uuid4() {
     // CREDIT: broofa http://stackoverflow.com/questions/105034/how-to-create-a-guid-uuid-in-javascript
     return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g,
     function(c) {
         var r = Math.random() * 16 | 0,
         v = c == 'x' ? r: (r & 0x3 | 0x8);
         return v.toString(16);
     }).toUpperCase();
   }
   

   hope this helps
   m

   I think Programmers are soooooo cool.

   The hieroglyphics posted above mean nothing to someone like me, but I still think it's cool to look at. :-)

   "Yes, the flex capacitor linear output needs to hook with the induction modulator in order to extract the package via. encrypted sets of atomic plasma energy."

   WHAT?

   When you guys are done with creating some cool extensions or web apps, just let me know were to download them and make sure the only option I have is "Next, Next.... OK".

   Let me get back to my 3D Design and Animation work.

   ROFL

   I am trying to learn Java Script, HTML 5 and CSS.

   Not easy for me but I am trying.

   Designing a complex surface model or a large 3D assembly with many components is easy for me. So I guess it is all relative.
