Missing instructions for getting the location in the quickstart #22

Closed LucaJunge closed 1 year ago

LucaJunge commented 1 year ago

I was just trying out to get the location of my headquarters and the corresponding system and was stuck for quite a while on the "View your starting location" step.

It is not clear from the previous step that my "headquarters" response from /my/agent is a combined string from the system. For example:

My "headquarters" string is B0-DT55-202001, which contains the system BO-DT55 and the waypoint 202001

I would suggest adding a hint in the quickstart that the headquarters response is a concatenated string and you have to separate it for the next query https://api.spacetraders.io/v2/systems/:systemSymbol/waypoints/:waypointSymbol

I was also stuck on this step. Thanks for clarifying it.

Awesome this is super helpful, I updated the docs with clarification. Would you mind taking a look at that step and confirming if that helps?

Yes, that's a better clarification. Thank you, that makes the onboarding way easier!
