Trackon Web API Description
Note: The API is still experimental and subject to change, let us know if you find it useful, or if you need any new features or changes. Thanks!
Trackon has a minimalist and RESTful API, divided in two main parts:
Read API
This set of APIs allows you retrive informatin about known trackers.
- GET /api/live
- Returns a new-line delimited list announce URLs of currenlty active and responding trackers.
- GET /api/fail
- Returns a new-line delimited list announce URLs of trackers that failed their last check.
- GET /api/all
- Returns a new-line delimited list announce URLs of all known trackers, dead or alive.
- GET /api/trackers.json (Not yet implemented!)
- Returns a JSON object with all the information associated with all known trackers, the specific infomration included is still subject to change.
Write API
Still not decided what set of write APIs will be provided, probably at least some way to submit new trackers programatically, and to request an update of the tracker status and metadata.
Terms of Shirvice(sic)
Do whatever the hell you want as long as you don't try to DoS me, and if you power some website or app by using this APIs it would be cool if you link to trackon.

Note: I hate legalese, and this notice is only here to make chelz happy ;P
