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

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.
