API for active games?

OGS Development API Development

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a simple way to get a list of just the active games through the API?
I managed to get a list of all games (paging through megames), but that seems inefficient to me.

I am trying to get my head around the OGS API. Please forgive me, if my questions are stupid.

Not a stupid question at all. For these paginated table things, you can use query parameters to filter.

Try this:

me/games?ended__isnull=true

You can also try the ui/overview endpoint, as is done here:

Not that I’m aware of, but if you are determined, you could search search the online-go repo linked above for PaginatedTable. The filter and sort_order props would be your examples. You can also just open developer tools whenever you see a table and see what shows up in the Network tab :slight_smile:

I think __gte __eq __lt etc work too.

This is perhaps the far more pragmatic suggestion. It just doesn’t sound as good:

“Use the network tab, Luke” :thinking:

Especially when the jedi apprentice never looked at any network tab before :blush:

In that case the open developer tools hint is quite helpful.

Little wannabe jedi might also be confuzed by the fact that his name isn’t Luke :laughing:

I rekcon you’re heading for a world of reverse engineering joy, once you sift out the trash in the network tab from the gold :smiley:
