Takeover?
Further to the "PokéAPI and SWAPI going forward" blog post - are you interested in sharing and/or passing over responsibility for maintaining SWAPI going forward? I'm quite interested in OpenAPI as my GitHub history ought to show.
@mohawk2 do you have a link to the blog post? I'm interested to read it.
@marceloverdijk phalt.co is offline right now but this works: http://web.archive.org/web/20170619120331/https://phalt.co/pokeapi-and-swapi-going-forward/
Thanks @mohawk2
As @phalt already mentioned himself both data collections are very useful for for teaching programming and API interaction. That's exactly what I want to use the SWAPI data for. Would be nice to make the data available in e.g. yaml, json or any format. Even a database dump would do. I'm now writing a Groovy script to download the data and store them in yaml.
@mohawk2 @marceloverdijk thanks for your interest. SWAPI is a very passive project and takes up about 0.00001% of my time, so it's not a burden that I'm in need of sharing. SWAPI has always been open for new data but there has been a lack of PR's with new data 😢
@phalt Thanks for responding! Are you open to adding an OpenAPI 2, ie Swagger spec to SWAPI?
@phalt On that note, what sources are you using for data as it is? Assuming valid data exists for TLJ, I might be able to compile and submit a PR with data for the latest film. If Rogue One and future anthology films are a good fit for the API we could take a look at that too.
@NFulkerson wookiepedia, a note pad, and the star wars movies :)
There was no structured data set before SWAPI
PS: I scraped the date from https://swapi.co/ using https://github.com/swapi4j/swapi4j-client.
I created sql statements from the scraped data and stored them here: https://github.com/marceloverdijk/swapi-labs/tree/master/swapi-labs-data/src/main/resources Might be useful for you..
