PonyAPI
=======
2015-08-09 20:36:30 +00:00
A simple API for episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic to be run
2015-08-09 19:48:49 +00:00
inside a container.
2015-08-09 20:36:30 +00:00
API Usage
---------
An episode will have the following data type:
```json
{
"air_date": 1286735400,
"episode": 1,
"is_movie": false,
"name": "Friendship is Magic Part 1",
"season": 1
}
```
This represents Season 1, Episode 1 of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. The
`air_date` column represents the date and time that the episode was originally
shown on The Hub (now Discovery Family Network). If `is_movie` is set and the
season number is `99`, the episode record should be treated as a movie.

None. Don't make the server it's running on crash and we'll all be good.

Routes
------
2016-01-16 16:31:43 +00:00
The canonical route base for PonyAPI is `https://ponyapi.apps.xeserv.us`. This
now supports HTTP/2.0 using [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com) and SSL using
[Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/). If you get SSL errors, please be
sure your system certificate lists are up to date.
Example usage:
2015-08-09 20:52:17 +00:00
```console
2016-01-16 16:31:43 +00:00
$ curl https://ponyapi.apps.xeserv.us/season/1/episode/1
2015-08-09 20:52:17 +00:00
{
"episode": {

Bare Replies
------------
As of [882b5b1](https://github.com/Xe/PonyAPI/commit/882b5b155157d3a3c9e329fffcf7ff3fdf64d4ee),
PonyAPI will accept an `X-API-Options` header that when set to `bare` will
return the API replies without the `episode` or `episodes` header.
Functionality is otherwise unchanged, however an error will still be shown if
something goes wrong, and that will parse differently. This API will return
`200` if and **only** if everything went to plan.
An example:
```console
2016-01-16 16:31:43 +00:00
$ curl --header "X-API-Options: bare" https://ponyapi.apps.xeserv.us/last_aired
2015-09-08 23:23:22 +00:00
{
"name": "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?",
"air_date": 1436628600,
"season": 5,
"episode": 13,
"is_movie": false
}
```
This will also be triggered if you set the query parameter `options` to `bare`.

2015-08-09 20:36:30 +00:00
### `/season/<number>`
Returns all information about episodes in the given season number or a `404`
reply if no episodes could be found. To get all information about the movies
shown, set the season as `99`.
2015-08-28 23:15:06 +00:00
### `/season/<number>/episode/<number>`
2015-08-09 20:36:30 +00:00
Returns all information about the episode with the given season and episode
number. If the episode cannot be found, this will return a `404`.
### `/random`
Returns a random episode record from the list of episodes.
### `/search`
This must be given a query paramater `q` containing the text to search for. Not
including this will return a `406` reply. This will search the list of episode
records for any episodes whose names match the given search terms. This is
case-insensitive. If no episodes can be found, this will return a `404` reply.
