High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

That's probably why.

Im well aware its against the rules, hence why Im requesting basic api endpoints.
If they're made it against the rules, they clearly don't want people to create applications for the site, which is why they wouldn't release an API.
Hence why this suggestion is open. Im requesting basic end point access. Its all forbidden regardless without web-scraping.
I mean Jayson and Mick be real... It's not that hard to create api that pulls data from database, few lines of code and it's done.
Having api would be really helpful as verifications for e.g. resources(buyers) and discord would be easier.
Hit me up if you really don't have time and want someone to make it for you.

One of the big issues with creating an API is system resources. We’d need to make the current server accessible without an immediate blockade which evidently leads to catastrophe. It doesn’t really make sense from a business and privacy perspective either for anything other than resources.
What do you mean by this? I would've thought that if you pipe the request through CloudFlare as usual, you could treat it like any other request; If you're referring to authentication, surely supplying a valid XF session token would be enough (or an actual API token linked with the account), and then only grant access to specific endpoints if the user has Supreme or Premium (permission based).
It would be nice to see user-specific endpoints (like Discord's '/users/@me' endpoint), such as conversations/alerts, but resources is definitely a must.

XenForo’s processing is quite database intensive - it’s needed to route requests, determine which files to include, and which to execute. This makes it not so viable in regards to building it directly into XenForo - an API token would make more sense in my mind, however it would again make a hole to connect to our systems. Database connections are fairly intensive.
Cloudflare isn’t the most effective manner of stopping bot attacks, especially when distributed.
There is already an API included in XF 2 (https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/dev/rest-api/). I believe MCM still runs on v1 though.
That is correct. A primary concern is the nature of our community in such that we require under attack mode enabled constantly.
We currently have an API planned to be developed in the future which should be pretty useful. I believe we plan to make it exclusive to our Ultimate users, but many of the plans are undecided.
As there is already a suggestion thread about this pending, I will be moving this to denied. Thanks for the suggestion.
