Public Facing API

[nlvw]

is there any chance of you implementing a public facing api for database calls? I'm working on a Android app to track and read web/light novels and it would be great to be able to have Sources like manga readers have available.

It's not your fault I'm a lazy-butt and didn't set up a proper e-mail system.

Besides, login being broken in general is kind of a issue!

@fake-name Have you considered using outside auth?

[fake-name]

Not really? I have to admit I haven't spent much time thinking about auth stuff in general. The whole site was initally just a project for my own use, initially.

[Emmanuella-Aninye]

@fake-name Fair enough. Well no worries. I'll figure out a way

[fake-name]

I should have login working in a minute. I'm just switching to a different mail-host that's less touchy.

Also, I reduced the rate limiting to max 1 request/second (it was once request ever six seconds, previously).

As usual, authenticated users have no rate limits at all.

@fake-name Sweet! Added sleep on my end so I shouldn't be hitting the end point at a high per sec rate

[Emmanuella-Aninye]

@fake-name authentication can't be done api side yeah?

[fake-name]

Huh, that's an interesting idea!

[Emmanuella-Aninye]

🤔🤔

[fake-name]

Ok, try creating an account now.

I also dropped all the unverified users from the database, so you should be able to reuse any usernames that got previously stuck.

[Emmanuella-Aninye]

Got the account thanks

[Emmanuella-Aninye]

@fake-name Still getting limited api calls even though I'm logged in. Is there a way to indicate I'm logged in to it?
