Personally I feel that Tablebot should be whitelisted on the mkwx site. It affects a majority of the community, mainly the competitive side but also a few casual tournaments and events, while stripping us of our ability to no longer have to manually table. Something I thought we previously would never have to return to. Badwolf has put so much time, effort and money into this project, it seems like negligence to cast away a fellow community member's contributions to a community that has affected so many people in a positive manner. I feel like it is a no brainer to whitelist the fc and to let the majority stay happy as I strongly believe Badwolf has 0 malicious intent behind this bot and only wans to help the community positively, but ultimately the decision is up to wiimm and if he decides to whitelist tablebot onto the site.

Hey there my name is DrFe4rless, more commonly known as Fear. I am an active competetive Mario Kart Wii player who likes playing mogi lounge and Clan Wars. Since the attack on of the key program/bots, called Table Bot, we use is having many many issues following the DDoS attack. The bot requires access to mkwx and wiimmfi information, and since cloudflare has been implemented, the Table Bot has struggled greatly as a result. I fully condone the use of cloudflare (of course) on behalf of around 500 competitive players, I would absolutely love and would greatly appreciate if you whitelisted the Table Bot's IP address. I don't personally see why not, if there was a reason please share it with me/us and I am sure we would understand. Anyway thats all from me

I've been contacted by @Bad Wolf who is operating the Table Bot when we added Cloudflare, and while our end goal was to move bots like this to a new API with API keys and whatnot and leave the old APIs (currently used by the Table Bot) locked behind Cloudflare, it looks like the Table Bot is using some parts of the old API that aren't yet implemented in the new one, so for now I've whitelisted Tablebot's IP so it should now work again, hopefully.

Hi @'Leseratte', I am the developer and host of the MKW Wiimmfi Status Bot. https://github.com/opale95/MKW-Wiimmfi-Status-Bot
I've tried to contact you again on Discord weeks ago but maybe you're busy lately.
Could i also be part of this whitelist ? We discussed about it together a month ago but i didn't get news about this since then.
More and more people keep complaining about my bot being down. I can't do anything since the old API doesn't provide what i need. -
I am in the same case, waiting for an answer from them.

I have not received information for where the new endpoint for MKW data is. However, I became aware of this endpoint a couple months ago: wiimmfi.de/stats/mkwx?m=json
It does not appear to have Cloudflare, so bots should be able to access it. Use at your own risk though, the API has said for quite some time that it will be deprecated soon. Based on a brief look at Wiimmfi Status bot code, it should have all the data you need. -
Leseratte told me about these old endpoints, but as you just said, they will be dropped soon and it does not provide the exact same information i used to retrieve:
- I retrieve the MKW region table at wiimmfi.de/stat?m=88 that shows the amount of players currently online in each region.
The old API does not provide it directly, it provides the data we can find at wiimmfi.de/stats/mkw.
I could possibly compute the number of players in each region from it.
- I retrieve the MKW regular and custom regions list from wiimmfi.de/reg-stat and wiimmfi.de/reg-list, data which is not provided by these old API. -
I decided as a temporary solution to use the old json API to compute the number of players, and to use cached version of wiimmfi.de/reg-stat and wiimmfi.de/reg-listi will update manually every day.
-
I'd like to apply for an API KEY to the new endpoints.
I am running a GTi Club: Supermini Festa! notification bot.
And I will happily abide by any rules. -
What new endpoints are you talking about ?
-
the new API endpoints, please read the rest of the thread for an explanation.
-
i read them when they got posted, there is no "new" API endpoint yet unless the Wiimmfi team announce them.
