[Request] Not limit player search results to 100 only #436

Closed cantcreateaname closed 5 years ago

cantcreateaname commented 5 years ago

Current Situation

Current player search results are limited to 100 when there are more than 100 players with the same or similar names.

For example: a search for ‘nickatnyte’ will reveal that there are 757 players with same or similar names. However, only the first 100 nickatnyte’s profile can be accessed.

What if I know the player’s name but not his #tag or clan and don’t mind going through every possible name to locate him/her? Is there a feature for me to do this?

request:

  1. Request to allow player searches to be not limited to 100.

rationale:

  1. Would like to track down a player that left the clan but don’t know his #tag or current clan (if he had even joined one). But this name is so commonly used that the search results showed over 100 players. And having gone through the 100 players, the player is definitely not in the first 100. Would like to invite him back to the clan. And I don’t mind going through all possibilities to locate the player.

Is this regarding the website (royaleapi.com) or the API?

Even if we return all 800 players to you, are you going to click on every one of them to see which is the real nickatnyte? This seems rather silly. If you can’t find the player by name using the first 100 results, you probably should just identify their player tags.

Search results are already ordered by relevance, with the most frequently requested profiles displayed first.

Sorry, but your use case is not strong enough atm for us to consider.

Unfortunately I don’t have the player tag. Which is why going through the complete list is the only option. It may seem silly to you, and I can see why. But when you run out of options... I’m not sure how difficult it is for you to create that possibility of letting your users go down the list, but I’m thinking it’s probably quite easy. At least for those like me who don’t mind trying, it is a way in what seem like a dead end now. However, if you guys think it’s not worth the effort, thanks anyway.

The only real use case for displaying more than 100 is to get botted. I would rather not do it for that reason. Thanks!
