Is possible to extend the API? API sources?

Post by lgallard »

Hi all,

I've been developing a client for Android by using the API commands, but I'm wondering if the API can be extended? For instance, it would be nice to ask for just "downloading torrents" instead of get all torrent list and later filter the result in the client side. Also a pagination way would be great, for example, ask only the first 20 torrents, and then 20 more and so on, this way one don't have to wait for a long list of torrents and the response time should be better in low bandwidth networks.

Where is the API sources on GitHub?

Thanks in advance!

You should make those suggestions on the bug tracker so get labeled as "webui". Ideas like yours are very helpful, since I don't know much about optimizing for web apps.
Also the team doesn't have a dedicated web developer. There are 2 people that work on it sporadically.
If you know C++ you could contribute in writing the server-side API.
If not your ideas would be helpful on what to implement.

Thanks sledgehammer_999 I'm going to post those suggestion on the bug tracker and download the whole project to take a look at the code.
