    With Item Market 2.0 in particular, I released a quick API to share my data with others to build tools on to prevent duplicating many requests to Torn. Since doing so, there appears to be an appetite for access to the quantity of data I can gather quickly so people can build their own apps on top of it and avoiding hitting Torn's API or rate limits.

     

    I'd like to open a discussion and gauge interest for me opening up my data stream to others. In particular, how you'd like to see this done and what data everyone wants to see.

     

    At present, I have 2 takes on this, which could be run together if needed:

     

    Opening up a message queue

     

    This would be something like beanstalk or RabbitMQ etc. The idea is each person could have their private queues to receive data on. I can load in specific data, or even the raw API responses received, and share it via this mechanism for your needs.

     

    Extend the API

     

    I am planning to add a lot more functionality to my API already, but of course I'd like to get an idea of what everyone would like to see in terms of priority features here.

     

     

     

    Any and all thoughts welcome here.

    What about an SSE endpoint? That way you don’t have to manage the security of us connecting to your services.

    That might work. I'll have a look at my options for implementing on my current stack.

    I don't have much to add except I'm keen on having access!
