Database Submission API #26

Open avivace opened 4 years ago

avivace commented 4 years ago

I literally have zero time but I really care about this:

There should be a systematic way to submit games to Homebrew Hub.

I'm not sure if makes sense, but we could hook up a Submission procedure to the GitHub's Pull Request system and expose that as an API?

To support User submissions without making them fork the database repository and manually create game JSON manifests, we can work on creating a couple of endpoints to aid this process and automate the creation of a PR, on behalf on the user.

E.g.

  1. Endpoint to accept "ROM files, screenshots and game schema"
  2. Create a PR on behalf of the user on the repository
