I've found that to be the case with many, many APIs. They have updated
the API and (sometimes) updated the samples - but the docs are often not

the difference.

I am getting where I have a good understand HTTPAPI but giving them whatthey want in the exact format, a lot of trial and error.

I think that is the case for a lot of us. It is one of the reasons I
think it is worth exploring the open source PASE options. Node.js in
