That is awesome! I can't believe I haven't seen it before. The API is undocumented and restricted it seems, but I did manage to get the first 5000 or so color

  how did you do this?
  • ewfwrfw 11y ago
    I inserted some JS code via the console that scrolls to the bottom of the page whenever the 'collection-assets' div changed, waited, ran observer.disconnect() as my browser was crashing to a halt, and then saved the HTML and combed through it with regexes. var target = document.querySelector('.collection-assets'); var observer = new MutationObserver(function() { window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight); }); var config = { childList: true }; observer.observe(target, config);

      The API just returns JSON; paging through that is much cleaner than hooking into events and parsing HTML with regex. https://color.adobe.com/api/v2/themes?filter=public&startIndex=144&maxNumber=36&sort=like_count&time=all https://color.adobe.com/api/v2/themes?filter=public&startInd...

        Right, I tried that first but I couldn't actually get it to return any data. I think I was screwing up the request headers. Now though I remembered the Firebug "copy as cURL" thing and it's working, so yeah, definitely a better way to do it.

  If you're interested in this kind of API, http://www.colr.org http://www.colr.org has one too.

    Cool! Yeah, I like having enormous lists of color palettes for doing algorithmic art. I will definitely hit up the colr API and the colourlovers one posted above too.
