Was what you posted supposed to be helpful? ...

Absolutely. I don't see what is hard or vague about grepping the documentation, and copy and pasting the bits you need, even if its verbose, because the api provided is verbose

Seriously, I posted here because I thought I would find people who would help.

Well, if the responses so far haven't been helpful, what would you consider helpful?

Posting vague comments is not helpful.

So is complaining about them :) but FWIW, I posted a link to examples you could (eventually) copy/paste
