Kitten Rider Cookbook and Cookbook Data

[LostJustice]

Every world, cookbooks have the same problem. They're self-hosted, they're split across different groups of players, and they're inconsistent with each other.

They also miss a lot. Prepared foods like black truffle, white truffle and black pepper usually never make it in, because most clients throw that data out before they send anything.

The bigger issue is that cookbooks are tightly coupled. The front end and the back end are the same project, hosted by the same person. So when someone stops hosting, we don't just lose the website, we lose all the data behind it too. That has happened to this community over and over.

Then there's setup. Having every user paste in a token and a URL is clunky, and it's a barrier to collecting data for no real reason. I wanted it public so anyone can contribute without doing that.

And the data itself was often inconsistent, especially around truffles and pepper, so I wanted to start collecting those properly as well.

So how do we fix this?

Something similar to the Albion Data Project. One shared place the data lives, that anyone can read from or write to.

1. The front end and back end are completely separate. That's the main design principle. The back end is an API that only collects and shares data. The front end is just a webpage that displays it. You can build your own front end instead, or pull the data into a cookbook you already have.

If someone stops hosting a front end, the data is still there.

2. Tokens are handled by code, not by users. There's a dev page client developers can follow to integrate it, and that integration means users never have to paste a token anywhere.

3. The endpoint and payload changed slightly. I tried to stay compatible with the old cookbook format, but that format is what caused the calculation problems with spices. Clients now send the raw values and don't do any calculation themselves. That makes it simple to get consistent data out of every client.

For developers

Documentation is here. It covers how to implement it in your client, and how to use the API if you'd rather build your own front end on the data.

Me confused.
How does it gather data? One of the launchers?

Please talk to me like i barely know what a computer is

I dont exactly know the mechanism of Albion online data project but back in a days it was a .bat file that, I assume, attempted to read received game packets to pull a price data from markets player accesses, because Albion API doesn't share information about prices.

Ig its a similar thing? I might be completely in the wrong tho, ive used Albion online data project thing years and years ago so I dont remember the details.

It like a giant bucket of cookbook recipes that people freely contribute to.

People can then freely use the recipes from the bucket as they want.

I have a website that is using this bucket as an example and primary site.

Custom clients need to implement code to use it because the endpoints bucket is slightly different and users are no longer required to do set up for the bucket. I put that on client makers not users anymore.

The Apricot Client I have above right now is mostly Hurricane with just this change if you want to add to it.

Basically but less in invasive. Just reads recipe data that the server sends you and drops it in a bucket like that project. Instead of price data it just hafen recipe data. You can fully use an api to look at that data.

Normally I would use a bat or excel file upload too but this data is down to an accuracy of .00001 and I wanted to maintain accuracy for the data so data was clean. I could add an unverified bat upload though.

We passed over 600 recipes. Thank you all for helping. Hopefully next week we break 1,000 recipes.

Thank you for the tool!

I suppose this is a bit confusing. Search is independent of the check boxes. I will make this a bit clearer.

But it should in this case search wolf anyway? Cause it doesn't.

It an OR match which means if you have the check boxes ticked, it does either the stats OR the keyword.
