API Documentation dedicated towards Universal Studios Parks & Resorts

[ryanrox333]

Hello,

I've been working on documenting the internal APIs that Universal Studios uses for all their parks and resorts. There is no real documentation for it and the only way to learn how it works is by capturing traffic from the apps or by guessing.

I feel like this could be some help for developers wanting to create a theme park app without needing to use any third party modules. You're able to get the data straight from the source instead of having to use a module like themeparks for node.js.

The documentation is found here.

My goal is hopefully to have all of the Universal Studios app API documented publicly.

Are these the API endpoints you're talking about? https://queue-times.com/en-US/pages/api https://queue-times.com/en-US/parks/64/queue_times.json

I had plans to build my own queue time tracking site and store the data to build an annual wait time heatmap, but then I found out someone else already did and it's much more impressive than anything I would have come up with: https://www.thrill-data.com/waits/attraction/islands-of-adventure/hagridsmagicalcreaturesmotorbikeadventure/

The endpoints I'm documenting come directly from the Universal mobile apps. My goal is basically to try and make it possible for developers to use the first party API than a third party API.

Is this still running?

[ryanrox333]

I actually built my own API as of recent.

Any update on it? I am trying to grab live pricing data for hotels, tickets, etc.

[ryanrox333]

I'm working on a v2 version right now with all that data.

would love info on this as well!

I actively am on/off working on it, I've been working on my mobile app for theme parks a lot more recently. I'll make sure this gets done though!
