UMass Amherst Web Ring

This is a web ring for UMass Amherst students, alumni, and faculty. It is a collection of personal websites, blogs, and other web pages.

How to join

1. Add your website to the members.toml and submit a pull request.
2. Once accepted make sure to add the webring to your website in some way.

Using our script

Add the following script to your website:

<script id="umaring_js" src="https://umaring.mkr.cx/ring.js?id=USERNAME"></script>
<div id="umaring"></div>

Replace USERNAME with your id from the members.toml file. Make sure to keep in the id="umaring_js" part of the script tag.

Building your own integration

Please integrate with the following API: GET https://umaring.mkr.cx/:id This will return a JSON object with the following format:

{
    "prev": {
        "id":"usera",
        "name":"User A",
        "url":"https://usera.com"
    },
    "member": {
        "id":"userb",
        "name":"User b",
        "url":"https://userb.com"
    },
    "next": {
        "id":"userc",
        "name":"User C",
        "url":"https://userc.com"
    }
}

If values are being cached on a backend please pull the latest version of the webring at least once every hour, but preferably once every five minutes. This will ensure that the webring is up to date. If this request is being done of the clients you can just do the GET every page load, optionally caching in user local storage.
