Add a Replay API #137

Open mtimkovich opened 3 years ago

mtimkovich commented 3 years ago

Are there any plans for a Slippi Desktop API? If not I'd take a crack at it.

Goal

Something similar to the ballchasing.com API for Rocket League, specifically the /replays endpoint. Would allow users to query their replays for specific data.

Would make it much easier for other people to generate stats or build other tools off of Slippi, and is much more user-friendly than the existing method of parsing one replay at a time (using a slp parsing library.)
Possibly faster(?)

We plan to do a websocket API for the live data side of things. We could certainly extend that feature to include querying replay data once we add the database cause even now we also have to parse every replay once the user opens the stats page.
