Floatplane API

[Hub7]

Hey all,

 

Is there an API for floatplane?

Im working on a no-code chat-bot (not AI) solution for twitch, discord, reddit etc...

I would like to investigate including floatplane chat into the supported platforms list.

Cheers

I believe there used to be an unofficial version maintained by @Inrix, which can be found here. It hasn't been updated in years though, so I think it's no longer maintained.

 

Could be wrong though!

Yeah I was reading through that looking for how to authenticate if anyone knows anything?

 

i’m unable to do much without subscribing to a creator and even then I’m not sure whether that will give me access to an api client id/secret

 

cheers

everything can be reverse engineer. hit the f12, check the developer console, see if you can find some session tokens there. pretty sure that is what you need for authentication. go to network tab, see whatever HTTP requests the front-end application is sending. floatplane is done in react so not like the web page is server side render(by default anyways), this means any data must be fetch dynamically on the client side after the initial load. 

 

for example, i already see some good stuffs with this one here. 

 

right click on URL, get the curl, paste it into postman, and then just figure out the hows and what at your leisure. 

 

 

 

 

edit: i just checked, cookie is what you need for authentication. you can just grab and copy/paste that. i set the cookie to some gibberish and got a 403 forbidden. 

 

 

edit, i also found the API for login 

https://www.floatplane.com/api/v3/auth/login?username=test&password=test&captchaToken=xyz

 

Although it wont help you if you are trying to create a bot because there is cloudflare captcha checking you are an actual human.  you just have to grab an already authenticated session token to bypass this.
