Searching the forum for information on the ICBIT api, I've found several people asking for examples, but very few answers.

The current documentation appears to be out of date. So I've started exploring the api and have posted some introductory notes http://captainbodgit.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/exploring-icbit-bitcoin-exchange-api.html along with example code to cover undocumented channels: "chat_general" and "orderbook_3"

It looks like it should be possible to create my own api documentation, but if anyone wants to chip in, perhaps this thread could be the place to do it.

I'm more than happy for others to comment, ask questions, criticize, and laugh at my JavaScript (just as long as they share the joke!..........learning JavaScript may turn out to be the most valuable part of the whole exercise).

As you will see from my blog post, I'm still not sure what orderbook "m", "s" & "t" are.
Be very wary of relying on JavaScript for security on crypto sites. The site can change the JavaScript at any time unless you take unusual precautions, and browsers are not generally known for their airtight security.

You may have problems running api code examples due to the security certificate for: https://api.icbit.se.

If you use Firefox, you can type this into the address bar (https://api.icbit.se/socket.io/socket.io.js) and create an exception....caveat lector!

Not sure how you do is for IE or Chrome, so Gooooogle it!
