Exchange Apps

[karanguni]

I code apps for fandom exchanges because the AO3 interface is atrocious.

Automagic App Generator

Exchanges can generate their own apps automatically via https://autoao3app.fandom.tools.

If you want to search for requests across all exchanges, use https://autoao3app.fandom.tools/#/everything.

Fun stats from the aggregated database: overall numbers and top 100 fandoms by requests

Bugs?

Please leave a comment here, stating which app/exchange, what the bug is, and steps I can take to reproduce it. It helps if you leave me your browser type, but I don't necessarily need it. Thanks! :)

Requests

If your exchange operates in a way that needs more features in the app, please leave a request here detailing what that might mean!

I currently only code standalone apps for Yuletide. If you are a mod who needs non-app code, feel free to DM me here or on Discord.

Caveats

Apologies in advance if I am slow in responding: I generally am not fandom active except around the Yuletide season. Thanks for understanding!

Known Issues

Nothing major at the moment.

Announcements

Due to AO3 rate limiting changes as of 24 Feb 2025, scraping might be unsuccessful more often, but should still work eventually.

:) No problem, thanks for helping make the app more flexible.

Hi there! I'm sorry about bothering you again--and taking a month to notice the issue in the first place. It's about this exchange: your app, ao3.

The problem is that I allowed the "any fandom" option in the sign-ups. So in the all requests tab everything is working great, but in the grouped requests, the request which marked that option don't show up at all. I'm not sure if there's a workaround (group them under 'any' at the end? Have them showing up under all tags?), but I wanted to let you know.

Hiya, yeah, when grouped by fandom and there's no fandom that'll happen! I'll see about getting the scraper to give those sorts of request a "No Fandom" listing; might take a little while but I'll ping you when it's ready. :)
