Get beatmap data by hash
get_beatmaps works with beatmapset_id and beatmap_id, but why can't we request data with the beatmap hash? osu! replays contain only beatmap hashes, so we have no way to get beatmap information of replays.
Can you comment with an example URL? I'm curious to have a look. (I'm not an osu! dev or anything.)
You mean an example request? One could be https://osu.ppy.sh/api/get_beatmaps?k=api_key&h=065005a514e1f08762c53f1b116b4d66, if we would have (h)ash parameter Which then would return data for https://osu.ppy.sh/b/407624
it's possible if you have captured and analyzed packets sent by osu! client when you click on a beatmap (loading leaderboard) also you can try this - http://wa.vg/osuapi/beatmap.php?md5=a5b99395a42bd55bc5eb1d2411cbdf8b
which returns {"approved":"1","approved_date":"2007-10-07 01:46:31","last_update":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","artist":"Kenji Ninuma","beatmap_id":"75","beatmapset_id":"1","bpm":"119.999","creator":"peppy","difficultyrating":"2.2918","diff_size":"4","diff_overall":"6","diff_approach":"6","diff_drain":"6","hit_length":"108","source":"","title":"DISCO PRINCE","total_length":"141","version":"Normal","mode":"0","md5":"a5b99395a42bd55bc5eb1d2411cbdf8b"}
Yeah, I know it's possible with undocumented osu! API (I've done that) and some other external APIs, but it would be nice to have the official API support. Using the undocumented API just feels kinda wrong and one cannot guarantee that the external APIs are up to date.
Documented. https://github.com/peppy/osu-api/wiki/Home/_compare/085a28214adacc82b27c931f913b747b9a67c31f...34add36a6c494fbf199aae85ba3ca8a715a2376d
