API

[BrianGrug]

I think that there should be an API for resources because it would help resource makers know when they make a sale/download, and maybe even make a Discord bot that connects with Mc-Market. Here are some of my ideas for an API:

1. Get ratings
2. Push updates
3. Get updates (For example a bot creator can make it so a update is shown in #updates in Discord)
4. Maybe even download ID's like Spigot has
5. Get a list of new resources

And if anyone has anymore ideas share them below

Add it for all, not just Ultimate users.

Does anyone know if this was every updated or added? I can't find anything. If the only problem you are having is security.

Limit request per/time unit
Require API keys/tokens
Only implement access to threads your API token connected account has access to, or limit the threads people can access to resources only etc.

This, however, has been implemented: https://www.mc-market.org/resources/track
But... one major issue with it... it's not properly working. It returns a full page instead of raw data and the structure is not Json or anything which is deemed "Correct" for such API. Come on just a bit more work Jayson and it'll be perfect.

Quoted from Ghast on another thread about said API.

Totally agree, spigot already has an API for reviews/ratings, author of the resources, total downloads, etc.
With an API like that we can create a banner for our resources.

Would love to see this completed especially for the resource sellers.

Just to add my input, i kinda skimmed this so if i repeat something someone else said soz , but the benefits from this would be amazing, i, as a developer and a member of the mc-market community would use this in many ways. the acceptance of this suggestion could lead to the development of many discord bots used for both support and verification of users purchased resources and many other things. Could also lead to the development of websites also used for support. honestly great suggestion, would like to see this implemented very soon.

i would love to see an api, i dont think it makes much sense for it to be 100% public though. i think you should give it to developers that create paid resources or users that pay for premium. some plugins that use a user and pass system to avoid plugin leaks could really benefit. imagine you buy a resource and within 5 mins you get the user and pass data to enter in the config. it would be so much better than waiting in a discord for 5 hours for the developer to message you the login info

EDIT: to avoid api abuse you could add a limit like 50 api requests every 5 mins[DOUBLEPOST=1591234445][/DOUBLEPOST]wait, this has been pending since the middle of 2019, when will we get more info?

 

[Elemental]

Agreed. This sounds like a great idea

Any updates on this?

Users who have purchased/downloaded a resource

 

[Rages]

Can you at least make the track url return raw json data?

 

[kangarko]

Mick any updates on this? We'd be interested in potentially migrating from SpigotMC so an API enabling to add people to the buyers list (i.e. 2000+ past buyers) automatically would be amazing

Just out of curiousity, how would something like this work? Unless these people voluntarily give their MCM user ID's then you can't just move those licenses, and in such a case it's almost as difficult as doing it manually.

Hello, I've been working on an un-official API for mc-market, and its pretty much done now, I need approval from a staff member to make the API publicly available

-Waiting for confirmation!

Create a ticket regarding this please. Otherwise there’s no opportunity to even discuss that approval.

I made one a while back but never used it cause mcm tos

This might not be the best idea, but an official Discord Bot of MCM which Everyone could link their MCM account to. Allow Resource Owners to invite it, have Resource Owners set It up on their Discord but since they are already verified it could allow members to redeem their rank with a command, just have it give you a certain role on like !verify {Resource} just as a suggestion.

 

[Rqver]

you can make a ticket for getting approval from mc, im goin to create one now, hope mine gets approved

Same. I mainly want it so I can create a Discord Bot like:

User opens a ticket
Bot asks what the MCM username is
If the user has purchased the resource:
ask the user to post `randomstring` on the users profile page
Once the user has say reacted to say they have done that, the bot checks if is there and if so does actions based on that.

Would be a great addition imo, with lots more uses then just that.
