API

[ThisLightMan]

I think that a REST API should be added for MC-Market. You should be able to request purchasers for a resource, purchase count, download count, updates, reviews, account information, etc. from the API. This API would be very nice for resource authors as it would provide an automatic way for verification of products.

If you aren't going to add an API, you should add webhooks. When creating/editing resources, you should be able to provide a URL, a payload, and a method whenever someone downloads or purchases your product. This would allow resource authors to save these purchases into their databases for verification.

This is already planned. Very good to know that there’s demand for it though.

To clarify Justis, Mick has said he's making it available to Ultimate users:

MCM API for our Ultimate users soon, it still requires custom development though.

Ught why for ultimate users only?

So more people spend money on a subscription-based upgrade.

Currently the features it has aren’t that great honestly. To me it feels like the goal was a new rank for more revenue and then afterwards the thought process was “Ok so what things can we add to this new rank?” And then these random little things were picked for it that essentially nobody asked for. So it seems like now most features will go to this upgrade to encourage more people to spend more.

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.
