So this idea has been floating around the codex staff chat occasionally and i finally am taking the initiative to move this idea into the open. Before i do that though i need to figure if this is even a feasible thing to do.
The idea is basically to make a public API that anyone (with a key) can access to preform certain back-end operations. Currently the only (regular) idea that we have is to help re-stockers track their data without having to use Abrosia. They would be aloud to submit their own data at their own free will. Something else that would not only benefit us but other neopet fan-sites on the net; in exchange for pricing items in our database (using methods we would forward after we talked) we would give them access to pull information on specific items from our database for their usage (what ever it might be). This would be considered a premium key.
The difference in obtaining a premium key is that you must first undergo an interview to see if it is feasible for you to be given one. Asking for one simply because you want one is out of the question. It is a two way street, you give - we give.
If you are truly not interested in this project PLEASE vote no, i will not put you on a pyro-shit-list or anything i really need to know this information before i put hours and hours of work into it. So again, you will not be put on a pyro-shit-list
I have also made the poll public for the reason that if you vote yes on either of the options i might be in contact with you for possible ideas and features.Thanks for your time
