OCPL: Cache types and changes

[andrixnet]

With OCUS migrating from very old code to current OCPL code, some changes have to be implemented regarding cache_types.

Cache type changes here
New cache types here
Implementation progress here

Cache types documentation here - wiki

AFAIK GeoKrety website uses xml/ocxml11.php to communicate with OCPL site(s).
This is an old and unmaintained code.
I've been told that this interface exposes internal ID numbers (for cache types), thus potentially affecting Geokrety data exchange.

Please take into account the upcoming changes.

Ok, what is the ETA of the upcoming changes?

[andrixnet]

Most changes have been implemented.
I also asked for help with some details from the rest of the OCPL team.

I estimate at least a week away.
Also notified OCPL developers of the need to coordinate with Geokrety team.
Thank you

I hope we'll be in time!

I suspect we should now use OKAPI, but which endpoint will give us list of changed/created geocaches since last update datetime as it was with ocxml11.php?

[okainov]

Switch to OKAPI for synchronization for GK side - geokrety/geokrety-scripts#11

Thanks to @okainov, OKAPI is now used for:

• OCPL
• OCDE
• OCUK
• OCUS
• OCNL
• OCRO
