[QUOTE=Egonny;41115483]Authenticating now gives "Error connecting to Facepunch" for me.[/QUOTE]
Happens to me again
[QUOTE=superstepa;41309502]Happens to me again[/QUOTE]
Same for me.
There must be a better way to fix this than manually updating the IP every time.
Authenticating works fine again, getforums, getpopular/subscribed/readthreads return an empty array.
FP IP is changing very often now it seems. Unless garry wants to provide something fixed, I'm probably going to let this die.
Unless somebody can show me an active, compelling application. In which case, I might fix it.
That's too bad. I was working on an Android app for Facepunch, but it is nowhere near complete so it's not really worth your time.
just as i felt like reviving mine, oh well
just do page scraping instead
The vbulletin HTML DOM isnt that difficult to manipulate
Well maybe this will be of some use after all, if I can get some sort of agreement with Garry like Hexxeh had at least.

I'm pretty sure you can automate this?
[QUOTE=benjojo;41439423]I'm pretty sure you can automate this?[/QUOTE]
Yeah surely it is just a case of monitoring for failed requests (I assume these are logged) and then getting the IP whenever it happens.
Also, if Wikipunch isn't dead (haven't been keeping up with it) I am 99% sure its using this API. Might not be a [I]compelling[/I] app using it but it is / was.

I don't think Facepunch's IP is available via DNS due to Cloudflare.
It would need an extra page to do this.
Sure it's possible (it was actually automated at one point), but things change on FP and break this. It's not worth my time keeping this working if there's nothing cool using it.
You're a busy person but there are some of us with nothing better to do. If you are planning on shutting down/not updating the IP at least give the API to someone who would invest time in it.
[url=http://nlan.org/fp/]I use it in college to browse FP though[/url], where will I get my sensational headlines from.
if you put your CSS and JS in files, rather than inline, the browser caches them and it speeds up your page load times

Yeah I know, it was a development whip up that I did inside college. I'll refine it someday, thanks.
Site is down, is this dead?
[QUOTE=vortex725;41678617]Site is down, is this dead?[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't be surprised if it was. No one was using it to create anything useful.
I'm moving a bunch of servers around, so it's gonna be offline a little while.

Will it ever be up again/open sourced?
So is this project dead now?
Pretty much yeah.
Maybe someone in the community will make an unofficial API, but it seems there isn't much demand for it.
Aww, no more xkcd bot
You can still make bots work (using Mechanize for example), but you'll lose a lot of speed because the page needs to be parsed first.
Mobile apps for example will go much slower if they have to parse the page client-side.
I didn't get around to setting this up again. Part of me wants to rewrite it, but really I don't have time for that.
You could always share the source with trustworthy people who do have the time.
I am planning a rewrite of this, Its on the high to-do list.
[QUOTE=benjojo;42264640]I am planning a rewrite of this, Its on the high to-do list.[/QUOTE]
If you made it open-source, I'd happily host it and probably contribute. I could easily rewrite much of my scraping stuff in Python fairly quickly: what's more difficult it writing a decent caching model.
Any chance the API will ever come back?
