[Orphan geocoin]

Not sure if the site is goofing up but it says you haven't logged in since 2006.

 

What cache did you find it in?

 

Make sure you are entering the digits correctly. Check for things like O vs 0, l vs 1, B vs 8, S vs 5 etc.

 

I have two accounts, and did find it using the other one.

 

The problem is that I do not know the item's identity (not listed on the cache's inventory), a part from the secret number on the back ....

 

You found it using another account? Do you have a link to the traveler?

 

here's the log:

and, yes, it has a six character long tracking code starting with SB....

[Orphan geocoin]

I picked up a geocoin in San Francisco recently. Later on, when logging the find, there was no mentioning of this geocoin. Basically, I now have a geocoin orphan which I cannot log or put back into circulation.

 

What can I do? I don't want to keep it.

 

Thanks,

Jakob.

[Web API to Geocaching.com website?]

Hello, I was just wondering if Groundspeak intend (or have they already done it?!) to open up an API to access information in their database programmatically. See http://programmableweb.com/apilist for a list of sites already doing this.

 

For example, I would like to put a google map on my personal site which shows all the my found/hidden caches, with additional information in the popup bubble, like links to more photos/blog entries etc. At the moment, my only options seems to be to manually download the .loc files or to do what they call "page-scraping".

 

I have seen other sites who re-use geocaching data, and apparently they download big chunks of data on a daily basis (geocaching-france.com, for example).

 

I am a basic member at the moment, and the availability of an API for premium members would be a huge incentive for me to pass premium!

 

Thanks for any ideas/pointers.

 

Cheers,

Jakob
