API is returning text/html

lonedespairyt · May 30, 2023, 5:34pm

Greetings!, I tried different things on “rest api” like getting the list of challenges, game and etc

I also tried different api like, https:// online-go .com/v1/games/, https ://online-go.com/termination-api/challenges/ and etc

I also included authorization bearer that I got from oauth

But unfortunately its always returning text/html instead of json, something like this

<!doctype html>Play Go at online-go.com! | OGS<meta name=“viewport” content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1

thanks in advance!

Where did you get those URLs from?

A couple things I notice:

the first link has /v1/ not /api/v1/
the full games list is not exposed at this endpoint, but here’s an example game: https://online-go.com/api/v1/games/54108238
The main site accesses challenges from the /me/challenges endpoint, not the termination server
an example of a termination URL: https://online-go.com/termination-api/players?ids=1365297

Thank you for your help!

I just tried /api/v1/ and it fixed many things like /players tysm!

how about just the list of custom_games, is there a way to get them?
(Couldn’t find any reference in the documentation)

Makes sense. Those docs are pretty outdated. My usual strategy is this:

Is this custom challenges (haven’t started) or active games (ongoing)? You may have to interface with the websocket for either.

Thank you so much for your help!

your advice on using the “network tab” is a game changer, and I can now see all available features.

If you’re using the api/v1 you can add a query parameter like ?format=json to it, or &format=json, but yeah maybe that’s useful to someone else.
