# SkyBlock API

Backend for [skyblock.matdoes.dev](https://github.com/skyblockstats/skyblock-stats).

This is kinda like [Slothpixel](https://github.com/slothpixel/core), it fetches the SkyBlock API and cleans up the result for use without an API key.

## Basically what it does

1) A request is sent to the Express server in index.js
2) The express server then calls a function in hypixelCached depending on the request
3) hypixelCached will either directly return already-cached data, or continue to hypixel.ts
4) hypixel.ts will call hypixelApi to get the raw data from the Hypixel API
5) hypixel.ts calls one or more of the cleaners, which pretties up the data for us to use
6) cleaned data is returned to hypixelCached, which will cache it
7) Data is sent back to express to serve to the user

## API conventions

If you (this is really just here for myself so I don't forget) are adding a new API thing, follow these rules so the API is consistent with how it responds:
- Use camelCase. Some old things use snake_case but these are going to be changed at some point.
- Prefer arrays over dictionaries when the keys aren't static. For example `[ { name: "asdf", value: "dsfasg" } ]` rather than `{ "asdf": "dsfasg" }`.
- "name" fields should be snake_case ids.

## Breaking changes todo
- Replace all snake_case keys with camelCase
- Rename visited_zones to just zones since it contains every zone
- Rename collection `xp` to `amount`
- Move `/leaderboard/` to `/leaderboards/`
