API request for all speedrun.com users
1 year ago

I am trying to get a list of all speedrun.com users. I thought that the api would be the best place to look. Is this the most recent version of the API? https://github.com/speedruncomorg/api/tree/master It hasn't been updated in 6 years so I was wondering if a more recent API exists.

I have successfully used that api to request all games on the site using https://www.speedrun.com/api/v1/games

However, when I try to use the suggested request to get all users in users.md, I get a 400. The request I am making is https://www.speedrun.com/api/v1/users. I can request individual users info using requests like https://www.speedrun.com/api/v1/users?name=abc, so "users" still seems to be the correct terminology. Is there an alternative way to request all users?

I am aware that I could hypothetically search each game for runs, and generate a list of users from all of the runs, but that seems unnecessarily complex.

Would also gladly accept a list of all speedrun.com users if someone has one handy. So long as it was generated within the last year or so.

That request 400ing is a documented issue. They will not fix it probably. You'll probably need to do a hack to get something that works.

Alright, just looked through the issues on GitHub and saw it. Thank you.
