Hi, I have been working with the Spark Core for over a year now so I should really know the answer to this question but here goes anyway.

Could someone please tell me where the actual API documentation is located. I am aware of the documentation on the spark website, ie Resources-\>Documentation but it seems lacking. For instance, I wanted to grab the time so I trawled through the forum to find a post that I see Time.hour(), time.minute() etc but I can’t find any reference to the Time classes entire method/public properties list so if I need to call TIme._dayOfWeek_() for instance I have no idea what the actual method name is. Tme is not covered in the docs I’m looking at and trawling forums for the info greatly increases dev time ☹

I know the rtc stuff is a relatively recent addition so maybe that’s why it’s not on the docs page.

So, please could someone tell me if there is a comprehensive document/help file that lists all ‘core’ classes and their respective documentation.

Thanks again guys, Rick

Hi @rickpbush,

As you indicated, the documentation can be found by clicking the `Documentation` link at the top of this page. ^^^

For the time classes, click on “Core Code (Firmware)”, and scroll down on the left - Here’s a direct link [http://docs.spark.io/firmware/#libraries-time](http://docs.spark.io/firmware/#libraries-time)

In general that page lists all the build in firmware libraries and commands. If it’s missing details, the source code is always a great place to double-check what’s actually in there ( [https://github.com/spark/firmware/blob/master/inc/spark\_wiring\_time.h](https://github.com/spark/firmware/blob/master/inc/spark_wiring_time.h) ).

Also if something is missing, I hope you’ll open an issue or try editing the docs directly! There is an `Edit This Page` link on the top of each doc page that’ll make it easy to send a pull request.

We’re working on improving our documentation and making things easier to find, but I hope that helps. 🙂

Thanks,  
David

Hi Dave, thanks for that, I’m afraid I’m a bit dumb sometimes ☹

Hi @rickpbush,

Not at all! If I don’t get something wrong at least a few times a day then I’m probably not trying hard enough. 🙂 Also we didn’t have those links a year ago, I think they got added over the summer?

Thanks,  
David
