Submission Download JSON API

Downloading submissions from SoFurry is a two stage process: Listing and downloading. Downloads are pretty straightforward for images and music, all you need is the file URL which you get in a listing request. Downloading stories is done via a separate request.

Listing

Here is an example listing request:

 http://sofurry.com/ajaxfetch.php?f=browse&sort=0&contentType=-1&viewSource=0&page=0

Explanation of parameters:

 sort: 0 = sort by date
       1 = sort by title
       2 = sort by popularity
 
 contentType: -1 = all content
              0 = stories
              1 = art
              2 = music
              3 = journal
 
 viewSource: 0 = all
             1 = favorites (needs viewUserID parameter in request!)
             2 = watchlist (needs viewUserID parameter in request!)
             3 = folder (needs folderID parameter in request!)
             4 = groups (needs gid parameter with the group ID in request!)
             5 = search (needs search parameter with comma separated tags in request!)
             6 = commission (needs cid parameter with commission ID in request!)
             7 = user (needs viewUserID parameter in request!)
             8 = featured
             9 = highlights (needs viewUserID parameter in request!)
             10 = group watchlist (needs viewUserID parameter in request!)
             11 = combined watchlist (needs viewUserID parameter in request!)
 
 page: 0..n (available number of pages is returned with the response to this request)

The response will look like this:

 {"success":"true","currentpage":"0","totalpages":233,"messageType":3,"pagecontents":[
   {"currentpage":0,"totalpages":233,"messageType":3,"items":[
     {"href":"\/page\/142819\/tab\/browse all",
      "pid":"142819",
      "name":"Psicosis Drain",
      "authorName":"Aitos Saibankan",
      "authorId":"30791",
      "thumb":"\/art\/thumbnails\/aitos-saibankan\/aitos-saibankan_psicosis-drain.jpg",
      "contentType":"1",
      "date":"1-May-2010",
      "width":40,"height":55,
      "contentLevel":"1",
      "keywords":"Wolf, Masturbation, Magic, Demon, Mind Control, Dark, M\/M"},
     {"href":...
      ...
     }
   ]}
 ]}

Downloading

To download a story, you have to issue a separate request:

 http://sofurry.com/ajaxfetch.php?f=getpagecontent&pid=12345

12345 being the page id of the story you want to download. The response looks as follows:

{"id":"12345","success":true,"content":"Story content in html format"}
