how to get user background image #295

Closed Maxluli closed 4 years ago

Maxluli commented 4 years ago

I would like to get the user background images. But when i inspect the osu website i found https://assets.ppy.sh/user-profile-covers/10707364/f6b09f3b138d75266005a1c9d78e985b95021da1ac16d32429d8f10c2db8c895.jpeg as link to get my profile background. BUT i dont understand how it works, because for example the link of my friend background is https://assets.ppy.sh/user-profile-covers/9100285/2bcafc10c4b60130e3bbd2ab3c1ff396468712c071dcd759619e9576f59747bf.jpeg. i can see that the user id is needed, but there is this f6b09f3b138d75266005a1c9d78e985b95021da1ac16d32429d8f10c2db8c895 string that is also changing and i dont know how to get it for every user with the api.

You will need to use the v2 API for this. Full documentation isn't finished yet but you can use this call: https://docs.ppy.sh/#apiv2usersusermode

Register for an OAuth token from your user settings page: https://osu.ppy.sh/home/account/edit

sidenote: to my knowledge that endpoint is not available to the public yet. Afaik there is no scope available for that endpoint, at least last time I tried I got a scope-error. Related to https://github.com/ppy/osu-web/issues/4798 I think

You can however use https://docs.ppy.sh/#apiv2memode, there is a scope available for that call, but you need end-user authentication for that

We are actively working on exposing more endpoints, so you may see this change this week or next week.
