ZXDB based Open API

Re: ZXDB based Open API
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

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

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.

Re: ZXDB based Open API
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

Re: ZXDB based Open API
Oh! I´m using it directly with the input from user. That´s why it´s working as case sensitive so.kolbeck wrote: ↑Wed Nov 21, 2018 11:01 amOK - 2) is not a search function, but more a lookup.

Has anyone used the API with Python? I'm struggling.

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

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.

Re: ZXDB based Open API
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/

Re: ZXDB based Open API
I set myself a goal for January.. I wanted to get started with Python and JSON. I have never used either of these technologies before (so treat me gently!). I thought the best way to approach this would be to use the excellent API from [mention]kolbeck[/mention].
This will never win any awards, but shows how relatively straightforward it is to get information out of the API using standard Python modules. The beauty of Python is that it's multi-platform. So I have it running on my Windows 10 machine, my Ubuntu box and the Raspberry Pi. I'm hoping to be able to add a GUI using tkinter in the future, and of course allow users to search for a title. When I have something half decent I will add it onto the Spectrum Computing GutHub page.
I did originally try learning C# but it blew my mind!

Re: ZXDB based Open API
It seems to be easy!
Much more than what I have done in Android.
Good work.

Re: ZXDB based Open API
I love Python because it allows you to write friendly code.
Things are logical and the outcomes are predictable.
Very easy to debug just by looking at the code.
One day I'd like to try on a Web server. I think it might be a good alternative to PHP.
Peter, you should look at Python "dictionaries" to manage the data coming from the queries.
Or arrays of arrays

I will take a look at dictionaries on the online resources I'm using.

Re: ZXDB based Open API
This is self explanatory:
You get Mustang as expected.
I'm sure you will enjoy your reading!
Code: Select all
thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
x = thisdict["model"]
print(x)
I'm sure you will enjoy your reading!

Hi
Website and API updated to latest ZXDB (Feb 03 - 2019)
API now returns additional prices, if available, on each release - as a result of internal re-structuring of ZXDB on prices.
