API Missing Important Information #35

Closed Vagdedes closed 3 years ago

Vagdedes commented 3 years ago

When you visit a plugin's overview page, you are able to see the "total" amount of reviews in the small selection tab (https://prnt.sc/uwx8tk) and the "unique" amount of reviews in the information box (https://prnt.sc/uwx9cu). However, the API only returns the "total" amount of reviews only, which after a quick conversation with a SpigotMC resource staff member, we established this doesn't make sense, and I was instructed to open an issue about this here. If possible, please add the ability to retrieve this data.

I don't understand what change is being requested. Can you show an example in the API response data and what needs to change please

Apologies for making this too abstract.

For example, the API (https://api.spigotmc.org/simple/0.1/index.php?action=getResource&id=25638) will return stats->reviews as 477 (https://prnt.sc/uz7sbi), which is the "total" amount of reviews, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, if we visit the resource and read its information box (https://prnt.sc/uz7okk), it mentions 335, the amount of "unique" reviews.

In essence, a user can post a review per resource update. There's a total of 335 users that have reviewed the resource and a total of 477 reviews available, because some users have posted more than 1 review over time. The users-reviewed, unique-reviews or however you wish to name it is not retrievable information by the API, and that's what I am requesting to be added.

I hope this makes more sense :D
