Thanks webninja! The POSTing part is one of the biggest things we were trying to get right while not making it any harder to use than Kimono. Is there anything that was confusing when trying to learn it for the first time? If so, we're still trying to make it easier =)



I think it's pretty close to perfect. I made a sample WrapAPI for http://etfdailynews.com/etf/{{symbol}}/ where the symbol is a 3-4 character ETF ticker symbol like VYM. It's one of the only websites I've found that provides the full breakdown of an ETF's contents. Initially I wasn't sure where to provide sample input such as a handful of ticker 3 character strings since /{{symbol}}/ isn't a GET or a POST value. So under the JSON and Table column I had multiple symbols separated by commas and it took me a little while before I realized that you were only supposed to supply one test value and where I was supposed to supply that test value. But it "clicked" shortly after.
