Data Commands

ANIME

Possible Replies:

• XXX ANIME BEST MATCH

...

Comments:
I'd like this command to cope with a couple of different encodings when passed a title, and be explicit over whether it finds only one result or does a best-match guess. --Rar 04:51, 30 Oct 2005 (CET)

On second thought, is a wide search really wanted or is 'WHERE lower(name)=' good enough?. About encodings, do you care to elaborate? --Epoximator 18:24, 25 November 2005 (CET)

FILE

Comments:
Pass a list of fields (limit e.g. 10 entries) and return content. This makes it possible to request new fields in the database without breaking API for older clients. On updates, only the list of possible fields need to be extendet. -- --Dinoex

I think it's a good idea. Modified a bit. --Epoximator 13:38, 26 November 2005 (CET)

• XXX NO SUCH USER
• XXX USER IS ALREADY A BUDDY

DELBUDDY

Command String:

• DELBUDDY uid={int4 buddy uid}

Possible Replies:

• XXX BUDDY DELETED
• XXX NO SUCH BUDDY
• XXX YOU GOT NO FRIENDS

ACCEPTBUDDY

Command String:

• ACCEPTBUDDY uid=NNN

Possible Replies:

• XXX BUDDY ACCEPTED

BUDDYLIST

Command String:

• BUDDYLIST startat={int2 start at #}

Possible Replies:

• NNN {int2 start} {int2 end} {int2 total} BUDDY LIST

{int4 uid}|{str username}|{int2 accepted}

...

BUDDYSTATE

Command String:

• BUDDYSTATE startat={int2 start at #}

Possible Replies:

• XXX {int2 start} {int2 end} {int2 total} BUDDY STATE

{int4 uid}|{int2 onlinestate}

...

Info:

• onlinestate is a 16bit bit field in integer notation (lowest bit first):

  * bit 1 = http online (user has issued a HTTP request within the last 10 minutes)
  * bit 2 = udp api online (user is currently connected to the udp api server)
  * example: 0=offline, 1=http online, 2=udp api online, 3=http&udp api online

Misc Commands

ENCRYPT

Will cause all future messages from the server, except the first (the reply to the ENCRYPT command itself), to be encrypted (128 bit AES). The client will also have to encrypt all future requests sent to the server. All non-encrypted messages will be discarded by the server. The encryption key is the MD5 hash of a special (new/to be added) password defined in the users profile. A normal AUTH message is still necessary to authenticate and should follow the ENCRYPT command once the API has acknowledged the encryption.

Command String:

• ENCRYPT user={str name}[&type={int2 type}]

Possible Replies:

• XXX ENCRYPTION ENABLED
• XXX NO SUCH USER
• XXX ENCRYPTION PASSWORD NOT DEFINED
• XXX NO SUCH TYPE

Info:

• user is username
• type is type of encryption, 1 => 128 bit AES, none other defined atm
• encryption pass must be set in profile settings on the website
• it is not possible to disable the encryption once enabled while staying logged in
• a logout (the logout message needs to be correctly encrypted) or timeout will disable the encryption
• in order to minimize server load, encryption should be disabled by default and should have to be enabled manually by the user in the configuration options.
