CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I've just stumbled across
CRM_Utils_Sunlight

This looks like an integration with the Sunlight Labs API. Which is fair enough, but why is this part of core if:
- It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere?
- The API key is 'baked in' to the code and would need to be overridden - there is no UI?
- It seems like it would only be required in very specific use cases
- I'm not even sure if the integration still works, I don't think the endpoint specified in the file still exists (http://api.sunlightlabs.com/) according to their site?

The class isn't called by anything else in Civi core that I can see, which makes it a perfect case for putting in an extension instead?

It's not my intention to annoy anyone by proposing this - if there is a legitimate reason to keep it in core then fair enough =]

There might be a couple of Drupal modules that use it too. But again, I think it should be it's own extension rather than in core =]
Thanks for the extra info.
