API for plug in development

Postby mbrenneman0 » Sun Aug 06, 2017 6:04 pm

Would you guys ever consider supporting plug in development and release an API to further individual customization of the platform?

    Would you like to further explain your question? Perhaps with some examples of the use of such an API?

    Thanks.

    well, one example would be to integrate with the sharkscope API to automatically sync data into PT4 like currency won/lost, number of players, finish position, pay structure etc... in the tournaments tab in order to solve the problem PT4 has with tracking tournaments. another example would be to build more customized report types in PT4, like different kinds of visualizations, graphs and charts, who knows maybe even figure out a way to incorporate a rough approximation of G-Bucks as a stat rather than the less telling "all in adjusted" which would require a little more complex coding than i think you can do with the custom stats already available.

    usually when a company releases an API, the community does some pretty remarkable unexpected things with it.
