"How to start using RM API?!"

Fireholder

I don't know how to start working with RM API, may be I'm very bad programmer, nevertheless it's time for me to learn. I'm very frustrated because of lack of support from RM for those who has less java experience, no codes are available to copy and analyze the meaning and no clear step-by-step manual  exist on how to work with API. It's my 4th post in this forum and still no answer, may be I should wait end of the month.

Hi Fireholder,

I have to agree the documentation on the API is a bit sparse. I am just making my first steps with integrating RapidMiner in a little Java test program. Since the announced tutorial (http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,2002.0.html) will take some more time, you have to cope with the existing materials.

Some basic examples can be found hidden somewhere in the wiki: http://rapid-i.com/wiki/index.php?title=Integrating_RapidMiner_into_your_application
And of course you should check the API documentation (as usually for Java programming): http://rapid-i.com/api/rapidminer-5.1/

There are also users that seem to have some experience with the API, but it's more likely to receive responses if you have concrete problems or questions. I hope the sources above may already help you a bit.

Regards
Matthias
