Hi Thomas, how are you?
The certificate of api.zxinfo.dk has expired and the app stopped to work.
Do you have in mind to revalidate the certificate?

Thank you.

Opps - looks like auto renewal doesn't work - manually renewed, should be working again. Thanks for the heads-up!

Hi Thomas.
Is the api in the magazine search case sensitive?
If you type "your spectrum" there is no result but "Your Spectrum" works.
In the general search the lower case works ok.
Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry for not seeing this!! (looks like I'm not getting any SC notifications at all).

In general ZXInfo API is case-insensitive, but as magazine was added later I might have forgot to do it properly. I will have a look at let you know

Hello [mention]Turrican[/mention] ,

Still working on this. Since the API has not been updated for quite some time, updating and getting to compile is not a trivial task - but i'm working on it and will keep you updated. In the mean time, which API endpoint do you use for the search?

BTW: Got an Android phone in my hand for the first time, and your app was the first installed - great work!

cheers

Hi Thomas.
I´m using 2:
1-) /v2/search for General List
2-) /v2/magazines/{magazine-name}/issues for Magazine Search.

Regards!

Hi Thomas, could you try resubscribing to the topic? I checked and emails are being sent out to other users. Let me know if you still have issues.

OK - 2) is not a search function, but more a lookup. The idea back then was to use the list of magazines e.g. https://api.zxinfo.dk/api/zxinfo/v2/mag ... 0&offset=0 - and then use the name from here to do a specific lookup.

That said, I like the idea of a magazine oriented search, if you have any input let me know :-)

Oh! I´m using it directly with the input from user. That´s why it´s working as case sensitive so. :)

Have you tried postman? It can generate python code snippets.

Hi Thomas.
I´m using the magazine search in a different way.
This new method shows all magazines (only one line, with basic info) with all words that I input, right?
The app lists all magazines issues with the same name in the input field. :)

So in the new method if I input "your sinclair" it shows "Your Sinclair", "Sinclair User", "Your Spectrum", etc...
How my search works:
When I input "Your Sinclair" it shows all Your Sinclair issues with cover images. The problem here is that it is case sensitive.
Thank you.

ahh.. ok - in general REST URLs are case sensitive. The idea was that a client, in this case your app, used the magazine list or the new search to find the exact magazine name - but in this case I think an exception could be made.

The following should now work and return the same result:
https://api.zxinfo.dk/api/zxinfo/v2/mag ... ir/issues/
https://api.zxinfo.dk/api/zxinfo/v2/mag ... ir/issues/
https://api.zxinfo.dk/api/zxinfo/v2/mag ... ir/issues/
