Question: How Run API

[DQ318]

Man, your work is very interesting! I would like to know how I can test your api. I don't know much about TypeScript or Javascript so I couldn't print the json on the screen. I would really appreciate it if you could help me with this. Thanks

Download Node here: https://nodejs.org/en/. Note that this library uses the experimental Node fetch() API so you will have to get the Node version marked Current and not LTS.

Once you install Node, you can run npm init from the command line to create a new npm project. Then you can install this API for use in your project with npm install fightcade-api.

I suggest using TypeScript, but you can use JavaScript if you want. Install the TypeScript compiler globally using npm install -g typescript. This will give you access to the TypeScript compiler command tsc in the command line.

You can create a source code file named index.ts and copy one of the examples on this repo's home page.

Transpile your TypeScript into JavaScript from the command line with tsc index.ts.

Run your program from the command line with node index.js.

Hi, @xBiggs! How are you? Can run your API. Pretty cool ;) I have another question: is it possible to get the results of a ranked game for a given user? For example, xBiggs beat FT 5 x 0, can I get these values?

@DQ318 Here is a code sample

import * as Fightcade from 'fightcade-api';

const main = async () => {
  try {
    // Match ID
    const quarkid = '1664758449709-7461';

    // Query Match Information
    const replay = await Fightcade.GetReplay(quarkid);

    // The ranked property denotes the FT set. 0 is unrannked
    if (replay.ranked === 0) console.log(`Unranked Match: ${quarkid}`);
    else {
      console.log(`Ranked FT${replay.ranked} ${quarkid} Results:`);

      // The score property denotes the set results
      replay.players.forEach(player => console.log(`${player.name} - ${player.score}`));
    }
  } catch (e) {
    console.error((e as Error).message);
  }
}

main();

The output was:

Ranked FT3 1664758449709-7461 Results:
tehdrewsus - 1
biggs - 3
