Create API for Photos

[gerbenjacobs]

It's possible to extract a Habbos photos via the 'extradata' endpoint.

I like to help, with photos and stories from habbos.

• Stories
  • powertoo (hhus-ea4890c42ddf7ed57ed38bda6cd21e70) has stories.
  • request url: https://www.habbo.com/extradata/public/users/{hhus-xxx}/stories
• Photos
  • bamboo (hhus-31fd847f4f3f3ee3e3257ca0bd66a60b) has photos.
  • request url: https://www.habbo.com/extradata/public/users/{hhus-xxx}/photos
  • public/random photo stream: https://www.habbo.com/extradata/public/photos
• Other request urls
  • (auth needed) https://www.habbo.com/shopapi/purse (receive balance like credits, diamonds, hc, etc.)
  • http://habboo-a.akamaihd.net/dcr/hof_furni/{revision}/{swf_classname}_icon.png (Furni icon images)
  • (auth needed) https://www.habbo.com/api/user/discussions (receive private messages)
  • (auth needed) https://www.habbo.com/api/user/preferences (personal settings, possibly with a POST request editable)
  • (auth needed) https://www.habbo.com/api/user/campaign_messages (no idea...)
  • (auth needed) https://www.habbo.com/extradata/private/moderations/recentModerations (no idea...)

Nice ideas. I think we can go through with the Photos.
However for the Stories part (which is only in COM/BR/ES) I heard that it might get cancelled. In Habbo.com all remnants are gone, except for on the profiles.

For all the Auth based endpoints; I'm not sure if this is a good idea considering who is the prime enduser of this library (i.e. fansites)
They don't have a good track record of being secure and I don't like the idea of making it easier for them to lose private data (which you'll need to make the auth urls work). If you want you can create a new issue for it to see if it gets traction.

• Stories
  • I didn't know that might be dropped by Habbo/Sulake. (Maybe wait until we figure out what Habbo is going to do)
• Auth based endpoints
  • You are right about that. You need a password for authentication, which is against the Habbo(way) rules.
  • "If you want you can create a new issue for it to see if it gets traction." I guess we'll just have to wait until Habbo going to use API keys. Especially for this issue.
• Parser url
  • About the parser url because /extradata/public/ is different we need to figure out how we going to handle that.

(Btw do you prefer to communicate further on github in English?)

I was editing example.php to include Photos and I found out that anything on /extradata/ requires some silly cookie. A bit surprised because I literally thought I was ready with the Photos feature. (Apart from the fact I also forgot to add getPhotos() to the API)
