It still requires scrapping to discover the thread ids though does it not?
- moot 14y agoWe'll have indexes and a catalog view soon.
- angersock 14y agoAre some of the threads not rendered to JSON yet? i.e., do we only get it for new threads?
- moot 14y agoAll of the old threads were rebuilt, so everything should have a JSON representation.
- aneisf 14y agoThat's great news. No hope for a posting API I presume?
- moot 14y agoProbably not. Since we don't have user accounts, and already have a bit of a spam problem, I'd be pretty worried about what a real POST API might bring.
- aneisf 14y agoI figured as much. Just wishful thinking on my part--it'd be nice to be able to build a client wholly atop the API.
- nyan_sandwich 14y agoIt's not like the html form does anything special. Forms don't have funny markup you have to scrape or produce. It's just a POST. I guess there's mime/url encoding or whatever, but that's hardly an issue.
- toomanymike 14y agoThere's a captcha
- mcantor 14y agoWhat if you charged for it? (Not saying this is a good idea, just that it's an idea.)
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoCharging for spam just means spammers buy accounts to post spam...
- Perceval 14y agoCould end up as a profitable honey pot.
- dc2447 14y agoWhat is the index URL format
- moot 14y agoDoesn't exist yet. I'll update the API GitHub page once we add it.
- kentbrew 14y agoCouple things: Pipes/YQL seems not to have been banned yet, so getting 4chan data back wrapped in a callback for nothing-but-front-end hacks seems doable. Also along those lines: it'd be super-awesome if the API would take ifModifiedSince as a query parameter and not just in headers.
