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.

The "everything" search from my android default mobile browser is currently not allowing me to view anything past the hundredth result; clicking the "next" button takes me to a duplicate of the first page instead of the next page's content. I don't think it's supposed to do that.

Investigating!

This should be fixed!

It's still doing it to me, but having looked more closely i think the actual bug may be a counting one? I was looking at my own requests (Elsin), and the earliest ones the app lists are from yuletide 2019, which is as it should be.
Page 1 and page 2 are still identical afaict, but I think they encompass everything; however, it's still telling me that there are 112 requests to list and showing the same things regardless of which page it claims I'm on. If that makes sense.

Hilariously, these are two separate issues, it turns out! There was a pagination issue for searches for everything OTHER than by username that I ended up fixing, ha! What are the odds?

Okay, the user page one is a presentation issue - the app actually returns ALL prompts when you search by username, so all 112 of yours are on your first page. I'm going to go fix pagination to reflect that... :D

[liryian]

ah! that is funny, yeah. I'm glad I initially misidentified the problem, then xp

[karanguni]

This should be fixed now!
