Retrieve players by rank with osu-api #7374

Open AuracleTech opened 3 years ago

Website and apps like osuskills, tillerino, osudaily and many more already do that, but indirectly, they leech data left and right fro m the api to do their business.

I'm making a bot called Cake, basically a nodejs Tillerino but I want to make it better at recommending maps and I want it to be able to find loved maps from people near X rank of the player, and unless I start leeching data like other apps I won't be able to.

osudaily could use this function to check the required amount of pp to get a certain position. Currently they store data and guess instead of checking the exact value.

Ironically, this would save osu on data bandwidth. Currently we have to leech way more data to get the same results.

osu-api is actually the wrong place for this. you had it correct in the first place.
