API BAZZAR BUG

From my testing, the API appears to return the following:

User with no bazaar / no stock

{ "bazaar_timestamp": 1780834726, "bazaar_delay": 30, "bazaar_is_open": true, "bazaar": [] }

User with an active bazaar and stock

{ "bazaar_is_open": true, "bazaar": [ ... ] }

User with a closed bazaar

{ "bazaar_timestamp": 1780835051, "bazaar_delay": 30, "bazaar_is_open": false, "bazaar": [] }

What is confusing is that a user who has never owned a bazaar appears to return:

"bazaar_is_open": true

despite having an empty bazaar array.

Is this expected behaviour, where bazaar_is_open simply reflects an "open" state regardless of whether a bazaar exists or contains stock, or is this a bug in the API response?

At the moment, a user with no bazaar and a user with an open bazaar containing zero stock appear to return identical data, making it impossible to reliably distinguish between the two scenarios using bazaar_is_open alone.

Behind the scenes everyone has a bazaar, which has the default state of open.

"Purchasing it" just gives you the ability to use it.

(This is why when you first go to use it after unlocking it is already "open")

I don't think there is a way to know if a player has unlocked the ability or not in-game.

What happens if you use the bazaar URL in-game for someone who doesn't have it?

Does it show the same thing there too as someone who has it unlocked (flying so cannot test myself)?

Just says this user does not own a Bazaar. but api cannot call that. this doesnt show for an API user

I know it isn't obtainable via API, was just making sure that the game itself would pull back that info (because it means Splent can look at changing the API results accordingly - if it didn't tell you they didn't own a bazaar the answer would be "it gives the same information the game does")

Ahh yes, here is an example. Without using API.

Which of course they return

{ "bazaar_timestamp": 1780834726, "bazaar_delay": 30, "bazaar_is_open": true, "bazaar": [] }

interesting , lets see how game knows that

Thankyou

Thankyou! :) <3
