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.

Thank you incredible person for all your work. I check the app every week and it's made exchange treating so much easier.

I have an oddball request - assuming you're scraping request info page by page, would it be possible to add an option to link that page, as of last scrape, on each request? Like https://archiveofourown.org/collections/COLLECTION/requests?page=NUMBER&sort_column=created_at&sort_direction=ASC. If that's not possible, maybe an option to show the request/prompt date?

This would be really cool for prompt collections that allow anonymous requests (e.g. kink memes, extra/"Madness" collections for non-participant prompts), where you need to find the prompt on AO3 to click Claim/Fill, but you can't sort the list by requester.

I completely understand if this isn't technically feasible or not in the spirit of the app! Thanks again for your consideration! ♥

Belated, sorry! This week is a bit full, ha. I've been thinking about prompt memes for a while and seeing if we can get a link to the prompt itself (it is a pain, innit): when I've got a smidgeon more time after FIAB/Yuletide, this'll be on the list alongside a few other features :D Not sure how it will actually work when it does come out, but I'll try my best.
