Basecamp doesn’t have an API?

I received this email from RunMyProcess today and I thought it was a little odd

Hello

RunMyProcess is happy to announce a new feature that will increase its possibilities of connection to web applications.

RunMyProcess is now able to emulate the behaviour of a Web Browser.

Therefore, for example, although Basecamp does not provide API to create/update/delete Project/Company/People (operations which you can only perform through your Web Browser), RunMyProcess will emulate a human behaviour to perform such actions: with a specific login service, you will connect to Basecamp server and then perform any operation as if you were connected through your navigator.

We are pretty sure, you will have other needs of such a functionality to retrieve data or perform action on any Web site.

Don’t hesitate to call us for any information

Best regards

I understand this is just an ‘example’, but has anyone told them that Basecamp has an API?

  1. Hello
    Basecamp have API for almost all functions of their product(add/delete/update/read todo, message, milestones…) except for the one mentionned in our email (create/update/delete Project/Company/People).
    And lots of our customer wanted to automated company/project/people creation. Therefore, we have developped a new feature to emulate Web Browser.
    Best regards
