API
I was not able to find a list of suggested API functions for retrieving Information via SOAP/WHATEVER. If you find one that already exists, please delete this page. If you consider meta inappropriete for this kind of page, please delete it. Or move it to my user name subpage. If you feel offended by the pseudo-syntax or naming of these functions, alter them unless they are beyond repair. Thanks.
