Changing the namespace of a cell
Jul 25 2008, 4:19 PM EDT | Post edited: Jul 25 2008, 4:19 PM EDT
Is it possible to update the namespace of a cell that has already been created?

We implemented some serious post-processing on our side to emulate our own namespacing system on our wetpaint data, and now that namespacing is supported, we'd like to adjust our framework accordingly. This will involve processing all of our cells and changing the namespace of them, and the documentation isn't clear on whether this can be done.

Any help is appreciated, thanks. Do you find this valuable?

This API is not yet publicly supported and may change. If you decide to use it, you should rely on the response of the API call as the identifier of the namespace. We use the prefix internally and we aren't guaranteeing that it will always follow that pattern. If you do rely on the template, be sure to consider how you might accommodate a change in the future, in case we are forced to update that pattern.

We do not provide an API call to move cells from one namespace to another, but you might could simulate this behavior by systematically retrieving cells, copying the data and deleting the original cell. Historical data would be lost in this case, but the content itself would be migrated.

Good luck!
