Official MC-Market REST API

[Croc]

Mick, many people here love MC-Market and want to help the community to grow! We have a ton of talented developers here that can develop useful third-party applications that extend MCM's functionality or maybe even make a mobile application with native push notifications. However, this is not possible without your approval and an open API.

In short, please consider opening up the api to upgraded members. It would greatly benefit our community in the long-run.

Two add-ons already exist to help with this...

This is one of those suggestions where you need 3 agree buttons.

 

[Recension]

We actually need 15 agree buttons, don't you think?

Yup

I just googled "mc-market rest api" to see if it had one, to find out a suggestion for it was made today. I couldn't agree more with this!

haha perfect timing!

On an unrelated note, MC-Market does have an RSS feed that lists the latest threads, but you can't do much with that besides data collection.
index.rss

I would totally recommend this hopefully this gets into approved rather than pending

I think this would be useful if someone wanted to make a service that allowed you to login with MC-Market. One such service could be a loaning site where maybe you wanna make sure someone is reputable before talking to them or something.

 

[Eric]

Couldn't agree more with this, would be great to add!

 

[Keenan]

I'd love to have a app for mcm and the api would make this happen and it would be great to have one as i think we would expand more.

Ajdin Wvisoecj I thought you guys knew how to read.

I know how to read just fine. I'm pretty sure Wvisoecj does too as he writes code for a living.

We just find your post really low quality. Along with that, it has exactly 0 contribution to this thread. One could even argue that it's against the rules. Quote from rules which you may have broke:

1.8 Do not post content which is extremely low in quality, irrelevant, redundant, unnecessary, or meaningless.
1.8.1 Do not post content to which a reaction could have been substitute, or which was already made apparent.

So instead of cluttering MC-Market with shit posts and useless content, leave or start putting some thought into your posts.

The existing API solutions aren't exactly great. The latter wasn't too bad but I believe it's now unmaintained (not that it should make the biggest difference, the 1.x branch is feature locked and hasn't changed much since the last update of the API).

API support here would ideally require a custom API made that limits the requests that can be made to what is essential.

Ideally you'd want higher demand for that.

 

[Vouchs]

Indeed! I'd love to have this feature. Then I can create my auto pm sender here.

 

[Croc]

because this is exactly what we want, kids soliciting every inbox on this site.
if an api is ever added, all notifications are going off::::

Well, it really depends on the API. Ideally, Mick would only enable endpoints for fetching users, posts, threads, etc.

 

[Mick]

There is no valid reason for us to implement this at the moment, and it could just lead to misuse.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion though Croc.
