I did a small prototype of integrating with read-only access, see

(thanks for your support on questions I had regarding this, very helpful)

But Augean uses read/write access for integration FamilySearch, and I would like to do the same for Geni.

but my concern is that
1) No other app in your app gallery has integrated with write access ( https://www.geni.com/corp/apps/ )

2) My recent questions on revision history remains unanswered
(accessing revision history is critical for verifying writes to the database)

if this something, we can work together on?
it seems like if questions don't get answered, then I won't be able to integrate with write access

What does Geni suggest?
What happens if questions don't get answered? I feel silly just reposting them, plus it will annoy people.
Should I try integrating with write access, or is this something that is not really supported?
Please advise,

thanks

Stephen

I am not from Geni staff, so following is just based on what I have learned by trial and error:

  1. I do not see any reason why you would not be able to add write access to your app. For example, SmartCopy browser extension adds or updates data to Geni from different sources. Various Geni users (me included) have also implemented scripts using the API to import data to Geni.
  2. Unfortunately I cannot help on revision history problem - looks like that API method is nonfunctional for some reason.
