API Posting Updates

[cadyyan]

I currently maintain a CLI client for interacting with Solder written in Python. At this point it implements everything that I've found that the API supports which is only reading data. I was wondering if there is some kind of support that I missed for say changing the state of a modpack (from latest to recommended for instance). I looked at the APIController in the master and dev branch and didn't see anything beyond reading data. Did I miss something or does this functionality not exist yet? If this does not exist yet is this something that would be accepted if I implemented it?

Currently solder only accepts inputs and data changes via the user interface and provides read only data via the API. I also would like to see a more powerful API and will work on that, but you sure can make pull requests.

I already posted about what I would like to see, but more input would likely be appreciated: #414

The API will be getting completely overhauled from the ground up. We will put up a post with the proposed changes to the API soon but the plan is to build out a fully RESTful API instead of how it is now. This means you will be able to do EVERYTHING you can normally do in Solder through the API alone.

Though for now just a way around the login screen would be nice, everything else I have managed to figure out.
You know am an endpoint that actually didn't just respond with 200 all the time.

There won't be any changes to the API on our end until the redesign but feel free to contribute changes to the current one.
