Torn Background Checker (Quick lookup + Fed history)

I've finally gotten around to cleaning up some of my own data and implementing a proper way of retrieving people's Fed history. To celebrate, i'm releasing a handy script that should really be a life saver when recruiting people:

Torn Background Checker (CLICK ME)

The script does the following:

• Pulls up known Fed history (from my database)
• Sums up monthly averages for important stats
• Gives all the important details about a player in one table
• Adds a link to directly find a player on Discord
• PDA compatible!

API and scripting notice

Requires a Public API key to pull up personal stats (direct call to Torn API) and verify a user for rate limiting purposes (Fedded archives API).

Your API key is NOT stored anywhere on my server, only your user ID is (for the purposes of logging and rate limiting).

If you plan on calling the Fedded archives API directly, keep in mind it is currently set to 30 calls / minute and has an auto IP ban policy if you spam it way too hard.

Fed information is updated daily, around 16 TCT.

The script does not interact with any elements on the page itself and only fetches data from the APIs.

Thanks for creating this!

Can we use a custom key? 

Yes, user/profile should be enough i think.

Edit: nvm. Forgot it also pulls personalstats and hof...

So user/profile and personalstats

Torn/hof

I'll just add a link to make one tomorrow...

Not working on PDA beta 🥺 Settings window doesn't pop up. May be conflicting with another script? Or gm handler issue. Idk.

Oh hey, that's pretty neat.

awesome tool thank you!

it would be cool if it had faction/work history but I understand if that is a whole nother ball of wax

Does it Work for TornPDA? 

Does anyone have an example of multiple feds in an API response? I'm trying to find one to see what the responses look like.

MikePence says he's been fedded multiple times - only one listed

7-eleven: 2927678 - Shows none

dark95: 2321537 - Shows none

MikePence: 2029670 - only shows one

There currently are no such examples and not all past feds are covered, as the data was spotty. Moving forward, all should be captured and multiple feds are possible. I'll test out how it looks.

Edit: it's likely the people who got fedded multiple times, bar mikepence, got fedded on different accounts.

https://www.torn.com/forums.php?p=threads&f=2&t=16129703&b=0&a=0&start=39260&to=27807219 lists TastySnacks [4369100] as having a NW of 820.33m, however the API returns -85m. My assumption is the stats/nw values would be at the time of the visit to Club Fed, not the current NW.

Apologies for all the nit-picking. This is a great service!

Like i said, some data was back-tracked, some gathered at the time of observation. Not all of it is 100% accurate and there are a ton with incorrect timestamps since it was entered at the same time in the database from old records.

Released cleaned-up version and updated the API to handle multiple feds (if available).

Please update the script and let me know if you find errors!

Same. Can't post Custom API for TORNPDA. Maybe this script doesn't even work for mobile

I'm pretty sure the API doesn't reveal that and only the job perk of some company ("Background Check" by DA? I think) will reveal that 

It works for mobile, just not PDA. Will try to fix the PDA issue.

It should now work on PDA.

Thanks mate! 👍
