Deckbox non-official API

Hi there,

Writing with my tablet - that's why I won't put mich effort now in writing perfect english - next time i'll be on my PC - promised

I just had a look into your API noticing one thing. If you search for a user, You habe to use his logonname not his profilname. Indeed it confused me for about 2minutes 'till noticing my profilsite is an automatic generate unqiue number while connecting deckbox to facebook. You are able to change it in your profile , so it's not that kind of a big deal. But maybe you want to document it

Great effort though!

Are you already building an Android APP for deckbox vor got already requests by doing so?
My Only experiences in mobile development were 2 years ago for Windows mobile phone with xaml and csharp - I already Bad a quick look Into Androiddevelopment. Xamarin seems to enable a quickstart for me as csharp developer hence gaining experience in Java as well AS Android development for a quick Start seems a lil bit troubling to me. Free Version should be enable everything we need since se won't rely in third Party libraries.

Typos, wrong words and so on are due to german autocorrect, for ans grammatical mistakes I'll beg for apologize since I always failed english in school.

Hope to read from you soon

Hi there,

your filter seems to be buggy.

Using your example returns an internal server error which is caused by the part "{"rules":{"operator":"contains","value":"trample"}".
Without this part, filtering works perfectly and using only these parameters  returns an internal server error again.

Kind regards

Edit:

Some suggestions:

Extra Card Information would be useful - like Power/Thoughness and Abilities - and for our fellow gatherers maybe even the flavor Text/Artwork Artist.

Maybe even some cool shit like Rarity depending on different Formats.
As example:
Doom Blade has been printed common as well as uncommon - in Standard Pauper, Doom blade is currently unplayable whilst in Modern it's legal.
Perhaps you want to consider this while implementing Formats for Cards

Hi there,

I just coded about 2 hours, developing the business logic.

Currently I am writing all the code to serialize those Objects - 'cause of that, I noticed that searching for a special Card (e.g. Anax and Cymede) returns its type as a single string (Legendary Creature) - while looking it up in one of your sets returns a string[] (Legendary, Creature).

I would like to ask you, to change the type in a single CardRequest into a string[] (and renaming to types) as well as renaming subtype into subtypes (Single Card = subtype, Requesting Set = subtypes) - it would make it easier for me and your code would be straight up forward

Kind regards

Edit:

As well, it'll be nice, if you could add the rarity to a single cardrequest (Again as string[])

Edit2: Nevermind - I Just noticed, it's displayed in the Editions name...it's late

If everyone would release new Features and Bugfixes like you are, the world would be a better place

Then again, I did notice an inconsistence:

Requesting all Sets, they got a Property called Name. Requesting a specific Set its name is Property title.

Could you be so kind and change it to one? "name" is which I prefer.

Kind regards

Edit:

Are you able to get a Link to a cards picture while viewing a single set?
That would dramatically decrease my requests to enable a Spoiler view.

And j4i - a lil Screenshot of my TestTool:

Hey there,

just a lil thing - till now, each source of "Image" has been defined as "picture" (e.g. Users profile).

Could you please choose one? Thanks again!

Edit:

I am not able to visit following deck:

API Link:

kind regards

Edit2:

Hey there,

just wanted to ask if you still exist

Anyway, I started developing the AndroidApp today and wanted to share some Screenshot of 3 Hours developing:

A total of four Images

I know it's now yet the best design you every have seen but I'll focus on functions till now

Edit 3:

yet another Bug: Requesting Friends does not return all Friends -->

http://deckbox-api.herokuapp.com/api/us … 9/friends/ - shows only 3 of 4
(http://deckbox.org/users/100000520842029/friends)

Edit4:

Are you able to implement a CardSearch which will give you all Cards which contains the SearchString?

Result of the Searchstring Nicol would be both, the Creature and the Planeswalker

Edit5:
I did some research regarding the bug of friendscount.
As a result I can say, that in your own profile you see all of your friends - even these with pending friend request.
Thats not the case if you are logged out and searching for a specific users friends. Cause deckbox won't show, that a friend request is pending this confused me.

Thanks for doing my QA
I'll take a look at that this weekend.

Great work dude.

My work on the App struggles a bit, since I got a lil problem with Android.
But I keep going and think, that it'll hit mid April.

I am going to contact you soon, since I got some questions

Didn't find any Bugs till now!

Oh, I fixed it, thanks.

Fixed bugs:

• Fixed cards API with cards containing slashes.

Hello,

Only the first button was broke, I fixed it.
You're right, it's not meant for human reading.
This is an API, it's an interface between external application (such as mobile app) and deckbox.
