Title: [Developers/Posters] Would you use a BPIP API? Post by: Vod on September 01, 2019, 10:15:40 AM A lot of bots are starting to hit my servers to leech information that I compiled by leeching from bitcointalk.
ibminer (https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=ibminer) designs and builds those server HTML and CSS pages with love; do not waste their beauty on a bot. :( If BPIP were to build a simple to use API and BBCode Generator for the real time information/rankings the site provides, would you use it in your development/posts? We'll take care of the parsing, and you can use the information to impress the community. I will be coding in a free limit obviously, but right now you'd need to use at least 10x more resources than you are right now before I notice it.

I'm going to do it soon with my own merit API, but it won't have near-realtime updates like your site does. I could also render some additional stats next to people's profiles, especially when you visit someone's profile/merit history on this forum.
Btw, if your backend is in Node, I can help you with development of your API. Title: Re: [Developers/Posters] Would you use a BPIP API? Post by: Initscri on September 02, 2019, 07:48:54 PM Unless you build an API most are going to try and scrape the site. A simple JSON API w/ limits (such as 1000 request per day max, for free) would suffice.
