More portal2 v2.8.3 API changes

There’s some more updates to portal2’s API.

UserProfile objects (returned by whoami and whois_ip) now also include the user’s forum numeric user ID. This means that your application can track when a user has changed their username.

Additionally, there’s now a new “python” output method for the HTTP GET API which gives the output of repr() on the result object. It’s not recommended that you use this with Python (instead use XMLRPC), but there may be instances where you find this useful.
