Character endpoint

[Dimitri Bervoets]

Hello,

This is my first request since starting to use the API. I'm really happy with this application.

The only issue I can think of now is that I can not find character favorite counts.

Thus, I cannot order my characters by that criterium and have to order by for example link with the voice actor or anime and order by one of those.

Are there any plans to create a character endpoint?

The alternative, probably easier, would be to include the favorite count in some other import.

Thanks in advance.

Our roadmap is located here: https://bitbucket.org/ratan12/atarashii-api/wiki/Roadmap There is "Support searching for individual persons (#128)" but I do not think that it is the same as characters.

We will need to decide when we will add this feature.

Character is different than person, so it isn't the same goal. The detail pages are also different, so it will need its own parser.

I'll add this to the roadmap for a 2.x release, and we'll see if it's worth putting in the next minor, or if it will need to go in a later one.

Thank you for your responses.

I guess it's quite a bit change, to create a new parser just to get 1 integer field member favorites; not sure if there are other valuable fields to get: age, height, weight, birthday of a character, yeah ... mmm ... now that I'm thinking of it while checking Rias Gremory's page; BWH ... interesting parameter to sort by descending possible :D

Well there are enough things to play around with at the moment for me so no need to be in a hurry though I'd appreciate it of course.

Thanks again!

I don't see any other pages than the direct character page to get that statistic. If we're going to parse that page anyway, we might as well get all the other things on it also.
