Megaphone is the API and system developed in-house by AOL to be used exclusively with the chat system for AOL Desktop Gold.

== Backend Language ==
Megaphone is completely coded in JS or Javascript. When a user accesses AOL Desktop Gold and goes to access the chat system, Megaphone is what powers it. Megaphone is loaded in the client as a minified version of itself, this is so the file size will be smaller.

== POST Requests ==
=== api/v1/categories ===

This allows to get the chat categories available.

Request parameters:
“locale”: The language that you would like results to be displayed in.

Welcome to the best place on Earth. You have reached the NINA Wiki for protocols, client information, and APIs that were formerly parts of AOL, ICQ, QuantumLink, CompuServe, and so on. At one time these protocols were used by AOL's AIM and ICQ products, and later discontinued, it now has had a rebirth of sorts here.

We not only will fully document the protocols, but will maintain and update it.

=== Want to Help? ===

If you want to contribute to the NINA Wiki directly, you have to be a member, and so you must request an account by sending an email to [mailto:accounts@wiki.nina.bz accounts@wiki.nina.bz] with desired username and also a few words on what you have to contribute (for spam control). If accepted you will be sent a randomly generated password.

If you want to contribute something anonymously or without registering, send it to [mailto:contribute@wiki.nina.bz contribute@wiki.nina.bz]. If anonymity is desired, state so, and after information is taken from your email it will be deleted and never archived, nor your detailed saved anywhere or revealed to anyone.

See what kind of things we are looking for in our [[NCD|Not Currently Documented]] section. You should also check the [[Needed]], which is a list of things we are looking for which are not directly related to documentation.

You can also [[Donate|donate]] to help with this AIM/AOL revival, because it is a full time job at this point.

Protocols/AOL/Midas/Forms

VoyArchivist: Removing useless/previous text

== AOL Desktop Gold ==
Forms for AOL Desktop Gold are very different than that of regular AOL/America Online or what was also known as AOL Desktop. AOL Desktop Gold has what is called mock forms because they aren't actually anything like the old forms system that AOL had previously. These forms are simply HTML files with CSS, JS and a little bit more but they do actively interact with the client and will not work unless the HTML page is pulled from within the client.

Certain aspects of these mock forms are not pulled from the forms directly such as server information, available chatrooms and etc. These mock forms, like AOL's actual forms system, is pulled directly from the server upon login or upon pulling it up. One concern is that renaming or adding forms can be a bit tedious as updates to the client may be required to make those changes due to the way the system has been changed.

Forms are the structural basis of AOL and is how content is delivered. Forms are pulled directly from the server whenever you pull it up or whenever you first login (meaning the welcome AOL form). This allows for seamless changes of forms for any reason and without having to release updates for the client which could've caused major problems.
