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.

Hey there! I just ran the scraper for the first time on this year's DA Poly Exchange and it looks like our use of (optional) titles for our requests is breaking the tool. Titles are showing up as part of the username for username search.

oop just saw the post above, and I'm pretty sure they're a related bug. I'm not sure how it was before but it looks like they've shoved everything from title to username into a single h4 tag without any selectors other than "heading".

If you split the string on " by " and take the second part it should give you just the username.



This was certainly a choice on their parts.

Ah, this happened to usernames the other day too :( Lemme fix.

[karanguni]

Should be fixed; we used to split by string ' by ' but AO3 recently switched that to '\nby ' because Reasons ;_; I fixed it for non-title'd requests but not for titled ones. I rescraped for ya already.

Looks good. Thanks!

Gotta love their random updates.
