A simple, easy-to-use, api wrapper for TBA's api.
This api wrapper is designed to be as simple as possible; to get started you need an api token from TBA. You can get one here, you can make a new key by scrolling down to where it says Read API Keys. Once you make a new key, copy the X-TBA-Auth-Key value, that's the important part.
The next step is to create an instance of TBAApi in your code, you are going to need your api key for this part; it should look as follows:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a new instance of The Blue Alliance Api.
TBAApi api = new TBAApi("your-api-read-key");
}
}Thats it; api instance created. All of the methods are within nested classes of the api (TBA, lists, team, event, match, and district), so for instance; to get the TBA status; you can do as follows:
// ...
// Gets an APIStatus object from the api.
APIStatus apiStatus = api.TBA.getStatus();
// ...All info that the object contain are stored as public class attributes; so you can get the data from them without a method.
// ...
// All of the objects contain their data as attributes.
apiStatus.isDataFeedDown // -> false (returns true if FRC datafeed is down)
// ...All of this is pretty simple, so it only takes two lines of code to get the data:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a new instance of The Blue Alliance Api.
TBAApi api = new TBAApi("your-api-read-key");
System.out.println(api.TBA.getStatus().isDataFeedDown); // -> false
}
}If you have any issues or questions please create an issue; and we'll have a look at your problem.
