TOPIC: [SSRP Suggestion] Public API

[SSRP Suggestion] Public API 1 week 18 hours ago #1304198

Server Name: SSRP

Suggestion Title: Public API

How would it benefit the server: It might be unneeded but I would personally put this to good use! Imagine having a discord bot in your server that would be able to tell you the current rare item store, casino vault, drug run etc! I'm sure there would be more people in the community who would appreciate this too.

Potential Issues/Exploits: NONE!

Additional notes:

Here is some examples I thought of!

I know this may seem a bit strange or useless to some of you but I thought it would be a nice thing to have if devs were to find time to create this. I'm sure with the new Community Managers this can be created at some point!

I was going to support it purely because Codabro posted it, but as I actually read the suggestion I came to find it is actually a fantastic suggestion	narexa Offline Loyal Boarder ❤️ Buffy❤️ Posts: 6878 Thanks received: 3422 Karma: 191

Great suggestion! Do you have any ideas/examples of how these APIs could be consumed by people to make some cool stuff?	Chuteuk Offline Administrator ZARP Owner Posts: 2845 Thanks received: 4151 Karma: 918

Personally, I would make a Discord bot with commands such as "!rarestore", "!drugrun", "!casinovault" etc. And each time it refreshes it would send a notification if the discord server owner wants it (configurable).
Like Nafe showed the image, for example, I would make commands/notifications that would also show more info such as
"Airdrop in 1 hour at Park District! Prize: Ice Case"
"Rare item store has just refreshed with: (items)"
"The drug run has just reset! You can get a Gamma Rifle for 10 minutes of drug running!"
"Casino Vault prize has refreshed! The prize is now Supercharged Uranium!"
etc.
also commands for each as well

!drugrun - "Current drug run: Gamma Rifle for a 10 minute run"
and so on

Of course we would also love some kind of item/money circulation info, but that really just depends on how much you guys want to share.

I have only joined this community today but I did some searching on the forums and it looks like this has been suggested before and I found an example of some ideas that had been suggested in the past! These might be useful here too!

I hope I'm foruming right

What epic stuff would you make with an API mate?

It'd obviously depend on what information you'd allow us to view, but i can think of a few ideas that'd be pretty cool

Average item price tracking - This'd help newer members of the community not get fucked over when it comes to buying/selling their items.
Economy tracking as a whole - It'd be nice to be able to view the total amount of money in circulation, but i can understand why you might not want this information public for everyone to view
Item economy tracking - I'd love for there to be a way to see just how many of an item there is in circulation/how many of an item gets lost per day.
Maybe some player specific statistics - For example the information you can find on the current leaderboards system or a player's total balance. I'd like to see this added just because it'd speed up my Discord bot

That's just a few ideas that i could think of off the top of my head. I guess the main reason behind me wanting such aa system is just to make my life easier as a developer. The way things are at the moment, i have to come up with long-winded ways of obtaining simple information (such as checking a player's loading screen for their gang, or extracting a player's total balance through their forum signature). It'd be very nice to have this information easily accessible

Alongside this, a way to view this information on the forums too would be a really good idea like the leaderboards for example It’s always nice to see what the community can do with Discord bots to make it give relevant information so having a public API would be very useful	Clarky Offline Marvelous Boarder Cwak Posts: 14909 Thanks received: 7742 Karma: 1007
