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.

Re: possible bug when browsing grouped requests?

I tried that, but it still wasn't working, and then I tried it again and it said that it's re-scraping. Since then, it's finished scraping, and I tried it again, and it still didn't work-- but when I opened it in an incognito window, it worked fine. So it seems it's something on my end? Is there a cache or something I can reset on my end?

It was Group By: Fandom, and Category: All Categories. So I believe it was the default.

Very odd! There shouldn't be! What's in your Filters & Options section? If it works in incognito, the only thing I can think of is that you've got some stuff in there or in your bookmarks (less likely) that might be causing issues.

If there isn't anything there that you can see, we could try debugging if you right click anywhere on the page -> Inspect and then tab over to the Console tab that should show up in the new pane Chrome opens up. If there're any logs that show up, that could be helpful.

This is what it looks like, since I couldn't find anything that looked unusual: https://ibb.co/vL8WD12

I did the Inspect -> Console thing, and here are the errors that show up: https://ibb.co/XSb7W08

When I try and search for individual fandoms (since what I was doing was bookmarking all nominated fandoms I would want to check requests for, and I can browse all those on incognito now), it doesn't load.

.....it's possible this might be an issue with my internet; my dad has a pi hole set up that automatically blocks ads at the router level (except for, strangely, when I'm in incognito mode), and it's caused some buggy issues for me before, like being unable to log in to certain sites. Actually, now that I look at the console error messages again, I'm almost certain that's what this is -___- Sorry to bother you about it! It's never happened before for the app, on any url.

No worries! If the pi hole doesn't block incognito then maybe that's it? Give it a shot on mobile, maybe? Haha. I can't quiiite tell but it almost looks like it's intercepting the requests out to the database maybe.
