STO Web / Restful API?

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Hey there, anyone from the dev side of cryptic that would be able to respond on this:

Would they be willing to create a web API for pulling information (specifically fleet stuff), as scanning several fleet's CSV's into a parser every day is kind of annoying, would love to be able to sync up a daily cron job that could scrape some sort of STO data, pulling the standard roster. I've seen another API that pulls from the gateway but from what I can see it doesn't work anymore.

Would really love some love towards those of us who like creating external systems to easily read information and automate!

(Currently -> Log into each character -> roster -> export CSV -> upload/parse -> repeat daily)
(Hoping for -> login api class -> character class -> fleet information class -> roster object -> member fields / array table)

    I am not a dev, but I can help you a little.

    I suggested something similar shortly after Gateway was released, and even offered how to pull this info directly (yea, I actually made it work), for use on webpages, and asked for permission to share the code.

    It was far from ready for a full implementation, but it kinda worked... Cryptic said no... They prefer no one uses such features.

    I hope you have more success.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Oh dang, they could really be improving outreach with real/delayed data feedback, would make people like me happy to build a modern responsive fleet alliance website :/
