I would like API calls to be able to check things that can expire and stop website from working: * Credit Card expiry date and validity for the date when next bill will come up * SSL expiry date * Domain registration/re-registration date * Hosting account re-registration date etc
I'm not sure things like those really fit in to the concept that we had in mind when we built out the API, but your suggestions are noted. We have considered - and may still build - a push notification system, which would be better suited to those renewal/expiration date kinds of events.
notification system is good, however i have few accounts on discountasp (keeping different projects separate) and if such info was available via api i could write a dashboard type of app that would show all those critical parameters (like usage of disk/database etc) and expiries in one dashboard.
Understood. If/when we expand the API we'll certainly seriously consider adding renewal/expiration events.
