deathssoul1 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Does Nexus have a public API that can be used to, say, query file pages for various bits of information, such as the author(s) or version number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathssoul1 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 As there currently isn't an API, what are the policies concerning having a program pinging a download page, only grabbing the HTML to perform lookup, and querying the data using an XML library? Allowing BOSS to be able to query the version of a specific mod upstream programmatically would be useful as the manual version checks in the master list could then be removed, improving the maintenance of it. With the issues that NMM caused in the past, I didn't want to start planning too much without discussing it first (it's still a good ways out, still only in the planning stages for the next iteration of BOSS).
