ytuner/vtuner api?

[mmilano]

is there any specific documentation with detail about the api calls (format, content, etc) that the receiver will make and what the responses are?

Unfortunately not.

was the api originally reverse engineered by trial+error then? even back in the ycast src?

while the config files are verbose with comments, the business logic files themselves are a not.

the service site itself suggests that they provide an api document to providers, so something exists out there. i was hoping that maybe a copy of that exists somewhere in the fog. they have gotten more closed over the years, but the api doesnt appear to have changed much.

...would love to build a node-based version of this...
my last pascal was in, uh, 1984 maybe, so i'm a little rusty on that...

Not really... Wireshark helped a lot

Yes.

I used to think so too, but I couldn't find anything.

Be inspired... 👍 For me, writing anything in JS other than a browser solutions is... a misunderstanding. 😉

Believe me, Pascal from 1984 has very little in common with today's FreePascal. 👍

you mean that my programs writted in Apple Pascal running on the Apple II+ wont run today?
