Is a user Pro?

http://www.geni.com/api/user

The account_type field can be 'plus', 'pro', or 'basic'

Note, you can't query other user's data, only your own (or the user you're logged-in as).

Thanks Scott - that should work given the access token of the user. :)

Will basic users be losing their ability to add people to the tree?

Mike Stangel Private User what l3 said is valid.. are you testing or are you pulling somthing?

Unknown Profile & Private, No - I've not heard of anything to suggest that basic users are losing their ability to add people to the tree.

This is for the API (externally developed applications), not the normal tree in Geni. It's not new and has not changed in several years.

And yes, I'm testing a new tool for HistoryLink. http://historylink.herokuapp.com/

Unknown Profile certainly not.

oh ok. good.. was worried there for a second. lol.. I've been around desktop pc's have not used ipad app's that much i guess this is a api test for the ipad historylink program?

HistoryLink is not (specifically) for the iPad.
See the project description for these tools here: http://www.geni.com/projects/HistoryLink/14021

cool. learned something new.. and i like the tools idea.. is there anyway it could be other then a ciricle graph though?

Private User, noticed some things with the authentication that I just wanted to mention - I don't want to see an small bug and not report it.

If you use the authentication display=web (default), the formatting is messed up. See image: http://grab.by/z0ea (notice how the Icon for the App and the rating is below the Authorize buttons). If you display=popup, the formatting looks as I would expect: http://grab.by/z0es (the Icon and rating is to the Right - though for perfection I'd increase the size slightly so "This application will have access to:" didn't wrap to a second line). I'll also note that the "web" does not have the "Not xyz?" in the top right

Second issue is that on the display=popup, it doesn't correctly return to the redirect_uri. Perhaps this is intentional and the desired result is to close the window, but it's not doing that successfully, at least not on Chrome. It just seems to hang at "https://www.geni.com/platform/oauth/authorize". I've had success closing a window with this:
window.open('', '_self', '');
window.close();
If it redirected, I could close the popup myself, but it just hangs there, so my only option is to use the misaligned web display and resize it to a popup.

Oh.. and clicking Authorize button on the display=popup version, which hangs on /oauth/authorize, doesn't fully complete. So the authorization doesn't occur.

While I'm asking, is there any way to access the data in a SmartMatch such as this: http://www.myheritage.com/research/collection-1/myheritage-family-t... via the MyHeritage Family Graph API? I assume not, but just want to make sure.

Jeff: No, sorry.
