Wattpad API Test Applications
Online at Wattpad Test
I want to be able to:
- Search books by ID
- Get all the books inside a Reading List that I will search by list's ID
I expect some book data and metrics, like:
- Title
- Author
- ID
- Name
- Description
- Metrics
- Reading Count
- Vote Count
- Comment Count
Would be awesome get data and metrics for chapters too! :)
- I study statistics and will be a statician in the future
- My girlfriend started writing in Wattpad a year ago and I started to study the metrics, as you can see here: Book Watcher
So, I am interested in this data and it's behaviour, so I can study and also make my girlfriend happy seeing the results and reports :)
- Search by Book Title
- Well, I don't expect a Google Engine here but, sometimes, the most relevant result is not on the "front page" (first 10 results in JSON)
- There is some books that aren't returned as a result at all! (At first contact with Wattpad Developers they told me that it was because the book was marked as Mature Content and the API don't know my age)
- Well, the API knows the App's owner by it's API-KEY, so the API knows my age
- The same book is the first and only result when search it's ID
- I am a "mature" in whatever country you can think of
- Search by Book ID
- Some titles simply doesn't return at all
- This is MOST IMPORTANT thing that I need
- Some titles simply doesn't return at all
- Search by custom TAGs inside Book's Description
- So I tryed putting some sort of TAG inside books' description and tryed to search by this TAG
- At first glance, it worked like a charm
- After some time, the resultset became EMPTY
- The last one became empty TODAY (O Único Homem da Minha Mulher Sou Eu)
- So I tryed putting some sort of TAG inside books' description and tryed to search by this TAG
- Search by List ID
- Never worked
- Always get error 404, list not found
- Never worked
- Use Developers' Playground API-KEY
- Use my own API-KEY
- Create a new account and App to receive a new API-KEY
- Tryed with cURL in command line
- Tryed with Postmaster
- Tryed with PHP and cURL
- Tryed with Python Requests/HTTPLib/URLLib
- Tryed with Python and cURL
So, after everything failed, I did an App Log In to get an Access Token and tryed the whole list again:
- Using my Username, my Access Token and my API-KEY
- Using my Username, my Access Token and Developers' Playground API-KEY
- Using Bearer username, my Access Token and my API-KEY
- Using Bearer username, my Access Token and Developers' Playground API-KEY
- Using my Username, Developers' Playground Access Token and my API-KEY
- Using my Username, Developers' Playground Access Token and Developers' Playground API-KEY
- Using Bearer username, Developers' Playground Access Token and my API-KEY
- Using Bearer username, Developers' Playground Access Token and Developers' Playground API-KEY
- HELP!
- HELP!
- HELP!
