Better API Data
Hey there,
this API could be so much better. Do not get me wrong. It's great, it's true ;)
But the API would be more useable if the available data were atomic and have data types. For example:
{"edge":"Yes"}
{"edge": true}
or...
{"resolution":"750 x 1334 pixels (~326 ppi pixel density)"}
{"resulution":{"width": "750","height": "1334", "ppi": "326"}}
or...
{"technology":"GSM \/ CDMA \/ HSPA \/ EVDO \/ LTE"}
{"technology":["GSM","CDMA","HSPA","EVDO","LTE"]}
Maybe you can realize that.
Niki ;)
Thank you for your feedback. much appreciated. there is a newer version coming up ill try to put things together.
Hi @shakee93,
first of all: Thanks for the hard work. I know how painful it can be to build a datasource like that.
Nevertheless, as I'm trying to analyse smartphone data, a consistent structure of atomar data would be absolutely brilliant.
Do you have concrete plans on when the new version will be ready to go?
@KarimGeiger Thank you. i am planning to start working on this on 20th Monday this month. hope i can complete it as soon as possible
Hi @shakee93, thanks for creating this API, it's very useful. If I may ask, what is the source for all this data and how do you keep the database up to date? Thanks.
I would be so, so, so grateful if I could get number of cores instead of: {"cpu": "Quad-core 2.7 GHz Krait 450"
I wrote small parser functions in my Node.js project to parse certain attributes to numeric values. Maybe they'll help someone else too, for example @gurupras 's use case for CPU cores is covered: https://github.com/vaaralav/data-mining-phones/blob/master/src/fonoapi-utils.js
Thank you @vaaralav that will help @gurupras and others who might need it.
Sorry guyz i have already started working on it and i stuck in the middle because of i am lacking time for this. i hope i can give you guyz the better version soon.
Thank you..
@nicklog sorry bud yet no update on that. would you like to give a hand on this ?
Yes, i would.
Perhaps my company would too because we have a customer who has a huge interest in an api like this.
Thank you for your interest @nicklog, your interest in this project has given me the motivation to make it a full-fledged service.
and I didn't wanna respond to this issue until I have made a good step forward. I am excited fonoapi now has its own domain: http://fonoapi.com
I am now spending more time on this. I would love to hear the feature's which needs to be added to the brand new API. it will be written from scratch.
I have made a public trello board where anyone can share their ideas. https://trello.com/b/o1sFv8Jd/fonoapi-roadmap
looking forward to making this a better solution for everyone.
Thanks for your work @shakee93. I can not share ideas in trello board, seems I need to be added to it. These are my takeaways:
- Order and filter for getDevice. For filtering, my reference is Gsm Arena: https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3?nYearMin=2016&nPriceMin=100&nPriceMax=400&nRamMin=3000&nRamMax=6000&fDisplayInchesMin=4&fDisplayInchesMax=5.5&sMakers=9&sAvailabilities=1
- A method to retrieve similar devices by features. It could use euclidean distance and main features for a first version: size, cpu, ram, camera resolution, price.
Hope all of you can give feedback on this features
@alvarormoya sorry for the trello not working. i think it would be apt discuss it in this issue.. or i might create another issue regarding this.
and we can add this feature to the newer version with those filters
Can you arrange the data of laptops also....if it is possible then please collect..bcoz i haven't find any api for laptops on the whole internet.
Hi @shakee93 Can you add Images to the API then this will be a most popular API for mobile phone search system developers
