Feature request: Headless HTTP API for programmatic access to damage calculations #706
Description
I'm working on mobile app integration to run both, silent background calculations, and fully displayed calculations.
I'm currently working in DART/Flutter with the goal of users building teams and getting help with recommendations to; moves, abilities, and stat spreads. These recommendations are not meant as a perfect system, but as a place to start for all types of players. The app will also include a showdown import/export option. Additional, with approved cooperation, include direct login (managed and encrypted on your side to safeguard player information) to make creating and sharing teams easier.
Note; there will be attribution "powered by" when running the calcs in app, or this can be added to the API if wanted.
What this app DOES NOT DO;
- Function as a replacement to Showdown battles
- Ability to play against other players
Goals of this post;
- Creation of an API for easy/bulk damage calcs tailored for mobile use for players on the go.
- Creating the opportunity for a mobile version of showdown, as I'm not oppose to sharing the work I've done (am doing, and will have done).
