@WalgreensAPI And Now:
Developer Survey Goodness 22 Program Rating: ! ! ! Availability
Rating: ! “Keep up the great work guys!” “I did not find anything out of standards and Walgreens Developers were very helpful during integration process.” “Great support from the team and easy to get in touch with everyone via Basecamp.” © 2015 Walgreen Co. All rights reserved. developer.walgreens.com
[email protected]
@WalgreensAPI
Developer Survey Badness 23 Developer Portal Rating: ! ! Documentation
Rating: ! ! Sample Code Rating: ! ! Errors Code Rating: ! “It would be also great to have a sandbox request/response area to execute sample requests on the fly.” “I received as a .pdf document. API documentation has all details, step-by- step implementation and request/ response samples.” “In the documentation, all API endpoints given with a sample request code piece. Would be nice to see more languages.” “Depending on what type of error occurred and lack of standard error HTTP status codes made development challenging.” © 2015 Walgreen Co.
