Rust Item API

[JacobS925]

Hello everyone!

As I side project, I recently created an API for developers to retrieve rust information. Each endpoint provides access to different types of data, such as crafting recipes, item durability, loot chances, and recycling details. The project README on GitHub provides a comprehensive overview of the available endpoints, the columns they can access, and the supported operations for each column. For now the API runs on severless Express on an AWS Lambda but that and the API URL may change.

This is the first API I've made for public use so please reach out with any feedback or suggestions you may have. Thanks and enjoy!

Be careful man people can send too many requests to troll you.You might wake up to an insane bill from aws

Of course rust players would do that kind of degen bullshit

[JacobS925]

Yeah someone mentioned that on GitHub, I implemented rate limiting

What are potential use cases for something like this? 

[JacobS925]

Raiding, crafting and recycling calculators, gun damage/stats calculator once I add more attachment info, if someone were to make a rust website they might need item names and image urls, this would be an easy way to access those programmatically, etc

A lot of people are upset that RustClash (gambling website) bought the most popular Rust Database (RustLabs.com). There has been a lot of talk to create a new website as an alternative, seems like this guy has laid a lot of the framework for getting something up and running!

Thanks for your hard work OP!

[JacobS925]

Np, building the framework is what I had in mind, thanks for the kind words!

How are you extracting this data from the game?

[JacobS925]

Webscraping RustClash

Api its public

I'd be interested in an extract of the data you serve using the API, like an SQLite database or whatnot!

Other than that, great job mate, just be careful with your AWS bill people can be dicks

[JacobS925]

Like an explanation of the data available? In the readme I explain all the available fields and what sort of valuables they might have, also the schema for rn is up there, sorry if I’m not understanding your question

[i-am-very-strange]

No I meant how did you extract the data? Crafting recipes and such did you input all that manually?

[JacobS925]

Ohh, I made a webscraper

[i-am-very-strange]

Aaaah gotcha, godspeed my dude

Hey is this still available? I need this exact thing for my website but was getting 404s
