Endpoint for Events for the new API

[angelolz]

Hello, I would like to see an endpoint for the events that occur in AC:NH in the new API. I am not sure if it is planned or not, but would love to know if it is in the to-do list!

As well as making a new AC:NH events endpoint for the new API, I would like to request if it is possible for invalid dates to return an invalid date error. For example on the old API, giving a date of September 31st would return the events on October 1. Giving an invalid date (like March 32nd) would return December 31st on a Wednesday.

Another request for the endpoint on the new API would be the ability to look up all the events that happen on a certain month, which would allow us to see seasonal events as well as villager birthdays that are happening during the month given.

Adding to the discussion, some potential ideas for this API:

• Query parameters
  • month: similar format to ones that are already provided 01, 1, "jan", "january"
  • day: integer, 01 to 31
  • year: integer, 2000 to 2050, or until when is desired
  • Treat invalid month, day, and year combinations as illegal, which is easily doable
  • game: accept only one from "DNM" "AC", "E_PLUS", "WW", "CF", "NL", or "NH"
  • hemisphere: optional param, defaults to "north", useful for NH data where the Bug-Off is dependent on
• Returns
  • birthday: an array of objects detailing whose birthday it is
  • events: an array of objects detailing the events on that particular day

birthday is already implemented similarly in /villagers, but events, such as New Year's, the Bug-Off, etc. have yet to be stored in any Cargo table, and storing them may be another question. There are events that fall on specific dates e.g., New Year's, on a specific weekday e.g., the Fishing Tourneys, or using a lookup table e.g., Festivale....

Honestly, the biggest thing that needs to happen for this is a cargo table to exist for events.
