http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Website_APIs
ROBLOX has, today, released the website API, a feature that would allow anyone to access data about the catalog and the items it contains. Does anyone have ideas of what this could be useful for?
I already have a plan to make something for the ROBLOX Wikia with it (I planned to use the mobile site, because of the speed, at first, but this API would make it a lot easier and faster). |

... I just realized it didn't have the descriptions, which is one of the most important things I need. :(
But I can still get them in another way, and this API would still make everything easier. |

More Requests: - Direct interaction with player's assets, and stuff through trusted applications and secure connections, where the player gave the information/approved. - Ability to get the information in-game. (I think maybe we can?) - Ability to basically simulate the ROBLOX website. |

| Unfortunately I do not see much of a use in this (for myself.) If they allowed us to to do other things like get a list of people selling the item, then that would be cool :o |

"Does anyone have ideas of what this could be useful for?" Seranok will be wildly happy.

Actually this was made to be more convenient than scraping the data off the Catalog page.
And no, you can't get this information from in-game. |

^ I can't participate in BETAs :(
Also, will we able to use this in-game? I don't think Seranok would be too happy if we can't. ;p

I asked Shannon to make this page for me. I am aware that the information can't be fetched from in-game. I have a workaround. |

| I would assume he's using an application to constantly upload a model with the information in it, then using the game to insert the model and load the information. |

Why do you refer to [I think] ReeseMcBlox as "Shannon"?
It's creepy...
Like you know here in real life...
Or you're married to her...
Or something. |

I didn't know that ReeseMcBlox was Shannon.
I think it best the admins be known by their Roblox name. |

I try to think of Telamon as "Shedletsky" or "John", but in my mind he'll always be Telamon.
