kesspess Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi everyone. I was just wondering if there's any way (maybe through the - AFAIK - not-existing public web API) how to get the number of total found caches let's say for my portfolium or whatever? It confuses me a bit when there's the option of placing a status bar on my website, where the number is shown, but when I want to receive the number as a text, I'm completely lost. Can anyone help here, please? Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Caches you've found? http://www.geocaching.com/my/ has the info listed. Shows the info twice, and with your stats bar. Or have I read the question wrong? Quote Link to comment
kesspess Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Well maybe I didn't write the question clear. The thing I want to do is display my total founds on my own website. That means I want to somehow request the server and receive the response in which I'll get the total founds (or other statistics). That's the only API feature I dream of having, but I haven't found any public API to accomplish this... Quote Link to comment
+JesandTodd Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Do you mean this? http://www.lildevil.org/stats-bar-redirector Quote Link to comment
kesspess Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) I'm searching for such service, but not with the image output (as in this 'status bar' case), but with the text input. I think this should provide geocaching.com itself, as long as it provides the statusbars as well (this service Troublemaker... mentioned is in fact only a formular wrapper if I'm right). I would compare this to twitter - when I want to know some statistics about a certain account, I'll just send a request at https://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json?screen_name=<account_name> and it returns some formated statistics, which I'm able to parse. I haven't found such API at geocaching though... So is there any way how to get this info from the outside? Edited May 20, 2012 by kesspess Quote Link to comment
