I would think you should be able to knock that out in a few hours.

and we clearly need a "this user is spamming" button.

iliekcomputers: alastairp for my next project, I need to host the two new APIs that I've made for ishaanshah and iliekcomputers.
2020-07-29 21108, 2020
ruaok
I'll check it into lb repo, but the API needs a name, URL location and general thoughts on where to host it.
2020-07-29 21134, 2020
ruaok
this part is considered stable. I'm debating if it is documented or internal use only.
2020-07-29 21152, 2020
ruaok
should it live on a separate subdomain? if so, what?
and then if we host other data for further stats, we can add them there
2020-07-29 21147, 2020
shivam-kapila
hoster.api.lb.org?
2020-07-29 21101, 2020
iliekcomputers
If it's undocumented, sure. If we document that, I could see it causing confusion
2020-07-29 21109, 2020
ruaok
hoster is the toolkit that is doing the work. we should not put that into the URL
2020-07-29 21121, 2020
shivam-kapila
hm
2020-07-29 21154, 2020
ruaok
what would be a documentation proof name?
2020-07-29 21155, 2020
alastairp
yes, I'm back now
2020-07-29 21104, 2020
ruaok
alastairp: please read the backscroll.
2020-07-29 21148, 2020
ruaok
stats-support? more-stats? sir-stats-a-lot?
2020-07-29 21126, 2020
alastairp
I guess I'll do my normal "looking too far ahead"
2020-07-29 21141, 2020
alastairp
for now iliekcomputers and ishaanshah are using these. are you planning on letting other people use them too?
2020-07-29 21100, 2020
alastairp
do they need to be public? (for development, I guess this helps a lot)
2020-07-29 21100, 2020
ruaok
not sure.
2020-07-29 21127, 2020
ruaok
I certainly do not wan to document them until there is at least rate limiting.
2020-07-29 21132, 2020
ruaok
if not API keys.
2020-07-29 21102, 2020
ruaok
I'm also happy to not document that API for the time being and just seeing how things develop.
2020-07-29 21113, 2020
alastairp
what's that law? any functionality that you provide, even if it's not documented becomes a production API because people will find it and use it, and then you'll break it
2020-07-29 21119, 2020
ruaok
in the end everything I did in those two APIs you can do with the MB API.
2020-07-29 21126, 2020
ruaok
mine is just more custom tailored.
2020-07-29 21128, 2020
alastairp
yeah right, it's just some shortcuts
2020-07-29 21154, 2020
alastairp
I agreee that a separate domain for this is a good idea
2020-07-29 21103, 2020
ruaok
if its undocumented and we change it because we want to, I won't cry.
2020-07-29 21111, 2020
ruaok
we made no public promise
2020-07-29 21119, 2020
alastairp
I like the gist of stats-support
2020-07-29 21136, 2020
alastairp
and/or metadata-support
2020-07-29 21112, 2020
ruaok
but in the end we will want these or those APIs to become public and documented, so things are in flux.
2020-07-29 21130, 2020
ruaok
I guess all that matters is that URIs are stable and future proof.
2020-07-29 21152, 2020
ruaok
and if we slap rate limiting and docs on it, that isn't much work either.
2020-07-29 21124, 2020
ruaok
stats-support sounds kinda awful though.
2020-07-29 21137, 2020
ruaok
supplemental-stats is perfect but too long.
2020-07-29 21147, 2020
ruaok
stats-helper?
2020-07-29 21101, 2020
alastairp
do you want to put a focus on the fact that it is APIs to drive the stats computations
2020-07-29 21108, 2020
alastairp
or that it's a bunch of random metadata
2020-07-29 21123, 2020
ruaok
oh, good thought.
2020-07-29 21151, 2020
ruaok
stats-support isn't really descriptive nor future proof.
