APi connection question
We are building a paid genealogy research service. Our customers interact with our application and maintain their family information within our service. We do not want to require customers to maintain a FamilySearch Family Tree or use FamilySearch as their primary genealogy interface.
Does sending living persons' data to a print vendor violate FamilySearch's privacy rules?
I understand that FamilySearch restricts living persons' data to be visible only to the authenticated user who added them — it's not shared with other users. I'm building a product that uses this data to generate a PDF, which the customer can then order as a printed book through a third-party print vendor.
Recovering Developer Account
We have a working app that is registered with Family Search. However the developer that did the integration is no longer available to us - and they did not share the login credentials to the Family Search developer console. I have created a new account, but of course do not have access to manage the approved app.

Ordinance crawler
Hello! I was hoping to develop a free app that would automatically reserve ancestors ordinances that have a green temple icon without the clock (the ones that have not already been submitted to the temple). Therefore I could submit all their names to the temple instead of having to weed through thousands of ancestors to find the ones who are just waiting for their names to be submitted without any research required. Would that be considered? Can you explain the history of the 2017 ordinance crawler ban? Thank you!
Success using Claude Code in Family Tree API integrations
I'm curious how effective Claude Code has been in completing successful Family Tree API integrations. I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
How does this work?
I'd like to develop a module for some self-hosted genealogy software that I use and make it available to others. This will allow a users to search for records and attach to their own hosted trees. However, this would require that I either expose my API key to world+dog or would require each user to obtain their own API key, and it appears that the system isn't really setup for that.
