I'm not sure if "get API" is the right term. As I said on IRC, unless you can provide productive uses for this data I will definitely not be considering this request.BagnoGamer wrote:
Well basically, it'd be nice if we could get API. You know, getting rankings for specified beatmaps, player score on specified beatmap, player position on specified beatmap etc.
Of course, everything in xml - So everyone can easily parse everything.
What do you mean by "productive uses"?peppy wrote:

And what's the fad with XML? Parsing XML usually mean you need an extra library, depending on your language of choice. I would definitely prefer plaintext.

How does an API for other people help at all?BagnoGamer wrote:

Well IMO custom gameplay modes deserve more attention, as well as their own ranking system.
Which is coming soon. Adding access to this information won't help with that anyway? I still haven't heard a productive reason to allow access to this information.BagnoGamer wrote:

Well, i agree. But XML is more "human-friendly".Echo wrote:
Using XML means code bloat and a loss in efficiency on both ends: extra code for "encoding" the data into XML and extra code for "decoding" the data from XML. Why do that when you can just read the output straight away, eg. line by line in the order you requested the data?

Ignoring the method and form of transit, what would you use this for?
We need originality!), adding it to a personal website, creating a faster EXE-based Osu site viewer (search beatmaps, view users, without waiting for all the HTML prettiness from the server and without having to render it - this would also be less RAM-intensive, could also function as a download queuing program - think of those many rapidshare downloaders, that's the basic idea behind something like this), If you want to have a different image, just submit your template to peppy and maybe he'll add it.Score_Under wrote:

That thing needs some serious SEO, I can't find anything about it anywhere on this site.strager wrote:

I shouldn't think most people playing are over the legal age of majority, and thus have their own credit card and source of income. I'm not, for one.strager wrote:

And they would laugh in my face, how could I possibly want them to pay for a very limited download service when there's a free equivalent? Bear in mind that one of them has been recently demoted and the other has a few days until her company officially declares bankruptcy, I don't think any of them would want to pay anyway and I could imagine that most parents are in this situation. My point is, even if most people want to pay, they can't. It's simply impossible.strager wrote:

Have fun being banned for writing a download scraper...Banned what for? I see no rule against writing a specialised "web browser". And then again if I am banned (which would be ridiculous anyway) I can always change IP and re-register. I'm sorry, but if I'm banned for that I won't accept it.
