Ditto, in both Safari and Chrome (Mac) I just see:

[code]{

"C": "",
"S": 200,
"D": {
    "links": [
        {
            "rel": "api",
            "href": "/api"
        }
    ]
},
"E": null

}[/code]

Hang on, but that's what one would expect to see, right? Because it's an API, not an HTML page. Thread title reading fail.

Then it is working.

API = Application Programming Interface

And the JSON ( http://www.json.org/ ) that you are viewing describes the API.

D = data, and in this case contains links to tell you to add /api to the URL, and the next level down will tell you to add /v1 to the URL.

So you should go to http://home.buro9.com/api/v1/

And there you can see there are lots of choices, to create microcosms, and then in those to create polls, events, conversations, etc.

Basically, this is the API working.

It's not the web site, just the programming interface.

Yeah, I know what an API is - I just clicked the link half-expecting to see a microcosm.app mockup. Brain not working today.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
