There is little to no documentation on the GitHub repository. I've been scouring over the code for days now trying to extract the methods. [This](https://github.com/gryphius/makerbot-gen5-api) is the closest I've come to documentation and it's not even from MakerBot.

<p>I'm currently trying to implement a data collector on my Replicator+ by utilizing JSON-RPC. Is there an <strong>official</strong> reference for this? MakerBot used to host a <a href="http://wiki.makerbot.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">wiki site</a>, but that seems to be gone for their "troubleshooting" pages.</p>

have you tried via [Waybackmachine](https://web.archive.org/web/20121114075819/http://wiki.makerbot.com/) ? Or the [Documentations](https://web.archive.org/web/20121109144349/http://www.makerbot.com/docs/) ?

@Trish Thanks, that solves the mystery of what happened to the wiki. It looks like it hasn't been touched since before MB went closed-source. I think JSON-RPC was probably implemented in the 4th or 5th generation machines, maybe a little sooner?

I'm currently trying to implement a data collector on my Replicator+ by utilizing JSON-RPC. Is there an **official** reference for this? MakerBot used to host a [wiki site](http://wiki.makerbot.com/), but that seems to be gone for their "troubleshooting" pages.

It took some digging, but I was able to start scripting a wrapper in C# for the RPC commands.

* [C# Wrapper](https://github.com/TrueAnalyticsSolutions/MakerBotAgentAdapterCore#api) (MTConnect Implementation)
* Unofficial [JSON-RPC Reference](https://github.com/TrueAnalyticsSolutions/MakerBotAgentAdapterCore/wiki/JSON-RPC)

I still don't understand what every method does to the machine or necessarily what the results are, so a number of the methods are marked as obsolete until I can test them.

## JSON-RPC

There is a late 2013/early 2014 [github](https://github.com/makerbot/jsonrpc) that seems to work on the JSON-RPC and which might help - and still showed [some activity](https://github.com/makerbot/jsonrpc/graphs/contributors) past the lockup of the wiki.makerbot.com. It is only very poorly documented. The earliest activity was in 2012 with the main bulk in 2013.

The JSON project predates the start of work on the [makerbot-gen5-api](https://github.com/gryphius/makerbot-gen5-api/graphs/contributors) in 2014. This might mean that it might be documented there to some degree, But it might also be present in the generation 4 API.
