Accessing backer messages for a project

[thedanielmay]

Jumped over here straight away on hearing about this repo. Great start, great effort ;)

Looking for a way to query and access backer messages coming into my projects (ie. want to manage them from elsewhere rather than KS directly). Have you got support for this yet?

Was looking but didn't find this.

I haven't created any projects (so I don't have any backers), so I don't have visibility into any methods that might exist for backer messages. Does the iOS app show them?

Hey @markolson - very sorry for not having been in touch with you. Have been very under the pump. Will try to follow up on you: have serious interest in your gem and its usefulness :)

@thedanielmay a little late (by alot!) to the party, but you can definitely access the messages. KS messaging "API" revolves around a few mustache templates and a XHR call. If you have the backer list the messages can be retrieved with 1 call to each backer and then some JSON parsing. If you'd like to retrieve non-backer messages that will require the same json ajax calls from your "inbox" page.
