Full API documentation?

Is there more complete API documentation above and beyond what I see at http://myserver/feed/api ? I'm wanting to import data from pvoutput.org

I've created a new user account and therefore have an API key but none of the examples makes any reference to needing one. Looks like I'll also need to know what the options are for fields like 'tag' 'datatype' 'engine' and 'processList'

Also - do I need to create Inputs, Feeds, or both?

Digging through the code of mysql.php it appears there is no table variant that can store a text field - only numeric. pvoutput.org appears to store the weather conditions as text, like "Mostly Cloudy", "Fine", etc. I guess there's no proper way to import this field?

Re: Full API documentation?

Well, in the end I gave up. The fact that pvoutput.org's API only allows a certain number of hits per day, combined with a lot of the data fields actually being blank, pushed me in the direction of parsing and importing data from CSV files instead.
