Is there existing .net api for cashboard?

   There has been a public API for Cashboard available at https://api.cashboardapp.com for a couple of years now.

   I've written Ruby and Javascript API wrapper implementations, but there is no public .NET implementation I'm aware of at this time.

   However, our API is a simple REST implementation, so it should be trivial for you to write a wrapper in the language of your choice.

   Documentation for the API is here.

   Seth,
   I am finalizing .net api library and would like to test it without polluting my production account. Is there any chance you could set me up with a test account?
   After I am done I will make the .net API public.

   Cool, sounds good Lukasz - but I don't have any "test accounts". Just sign
   up for another account and use the 14-day trial to test your API. If you
   need further time, email me and I'll extend the trial for a few months for
   more testing.

   Best,

   - Seth

   I created a test account, and everything seems to be working fine except project lists.

   here is a request I am sending:
   POST https://api.cashboardapp.com/project_lists/ HTTP/1.1
   Authorization: Basic YXBpdGVzdDpIMU4tOEVMLTVWSi1HWkQ=

   And I get a response - project does not exist:

   [["project","does not exist"]]

   Any thoughts?

   Can you send the original JSON you're sending to the app? To me it looks like you're not namespacing it properly.

   For instance, JSON should look something like...

   {
     project_list: {
       project_id: 123,
       title: 'my list title',
       // etc...
     }
   }

   you were right it was a namespace issue.
