A new and working api for the Facepunch forum

This repo is deployed to this URL: https://facepunch-api-eu.herokuapp.com/

I have finally found out how to scrape the new site, that uses Vue.js, and I'm currently working hard on making the site readable, through the api.

11/12/18 Another FP user made me aware we don't need phantomjs at all! Apparently everything we need is delivered to the DOM, and makes is super easy to scrape! And a whole lot faster too!

Now, I'm just making the post parsing work, as they are in the Quill delta format, and I want it in a little different, when I will make the FP app.

• Category page
• Single Forum
• Threads
• Manifest (Emotes, threadicons, rating icons)

It still needs a bit of work, but it's a great POC that FP can be scraped for API use.

• Post ratings
• Authentication
• Thread making
• Posting
• User profiles
• Search page
• User notifications
• Settings page
• API documentation
• Configuration file for port etc...

• Clone
• run npm install
• run node index
• API is now running.

Feel free to help on the project!
