An API for the Atelier801's forums.

Atelier801's Forum API written in Lua (5.1▲) using the Luvit runtime environment

About

The Atelier801's Forum is a forum created by the french company Atelier801 for players from Transformice, an online independent multiplayer free-to-play platform video game, and other smaller projects.

Luvit is an open-source, asynchronous I/O Lua runtime environment that makes HTTP requests possible for the Lua programming language.

Fromage API is a documented RESTful API that allows developers to make bots for the mentioned forum.

Join the Fifty Shades of Lua discord to discuss about this API and to have special support.

See also the TransFromage API for the game Transformice.

Installation

• To install Luvit, visit https://luvit.io and follow the instructions provided for your platform.
  • If you have problems installing it on Windows, please use Get-Lit
• To install Fromage, run lit install Lautenschlager-id/fromage

API Update

To update the API automatically all you need to do is to create a file named autoupdate in the bot's path.
You can create it running echo >> autoupdate (for Windows) or touch autoupdate (for Linux);

The update will overwrite all the old files and dependencies.

For semi-automatic updates (asks permission before updating), create the file semiautoupdate instead.

Base example

local api = require("fromage")
local client = api()

coroutine.wrap(function()
	client.connect("Username#0000", "password")

	if client.isConnected() then
		-- TODO
	end

	client.disconnect()
	os.execute("pause >nul")
end)()
