torntargets.com - Targets Library

update oct 4th 2023:
* it is now possible to maintain your own list
* added a seperate phone UI as an alternative to the table view, can be disabled by choosing desktop view in your browser.
update oct 6th 2023:
* if you are searching by a specific faction, the target statuses will update without refreshing the page, and will require less API calls.
oct 7th 2023: disabled the ability to signup from private group login, (as I said this part of the site is incomplete and not functional, login still possible, signup cancelled)

What the tool does:

torntargets by default (if you didn't use the filtering options) does one thing, it shows you targets ordered by how close they are to 75% of your BattleStatScore, here is all you need to know about BSS:

[image: i.ibb.co]
So 75% will result in 3, the max amount

And Here is how you Calculate it: https://www.torntargets.com/BSS



disclaimers:

1). Targets Library only records to the Database info about your targets, it does not collect your API/BattleStatScore/TornName , those are stored locally on you localstorage, HOWEVER – some other pages such as Private Groups Login require to authenticate with an email, and later on they do collect this data, this tutorial is NOT about Private Groups Login and you are discouraged from using it since it is a semi abandoned project atm, it is still available on the website for some friends but its honestly not a good tool.

2). torntargets uses API key of the type: “limited access”
UPDATE: you can now use public/minimal, but it will not update data from targets you attacked, which is bad if you are using it to maintain your own list/ are helping faction members find targets from enemy faction

3). immediately after providing a valid API Key, data about the latest targets you attacked will be collected and added to the Targets Library.

4). the data is collected from you, on targets you achieved 1.15-2.99 FairFight Multiplier against, you will not be able to record lower stat targets because your data will be too innacurate.

setting up can be done by entering an API key of the type “limited access”:

torntargets by default does one thing, it shows you targets ordered by how close they are to 75% of your BattleStatScore, if for example you have a 200 BattleStatScore, you will see targets ordered from
150, 149, 152, 153, 144…. and so on.

as of 10/27/2023 torntargets contains 7000+ targets, and by the time you are using it, its probably larger, so you will get very precise targets for your needs

why 75%? because targets that are 75% or above will give you the maximum FF Multiplier of 3.00.
this can be beneficial because not only do you collect targets that give you the maximum FF, you can follow and check for how long they will give you the maximum, and notice more easily if some of them are glass canons that you should avoid for chaining


[image: i.ibb.co]

for example, my first target that you see pointed at 3.02, will soon after some training will not give me my 3.00 FF, indicated by having written on it “3.02” , but this guy specifically is a glass canon, I am losing health when attacking him, he got a lot of strength, this is something that personally I would not have noticed without the tool, and thought he might be closer to my stats.

this tool can help by just using it when attacking, but it can also help by picking and choosing, and can help maintain your own separate list. this was an example of the latter.

Making Lists For Friends

lets say you have all the targets you need, but what if a friend that just joined the game wants a list? no problem, simply click “Enter BSS manually” and write your friend’s BSS, and also, you probably want him to avoid chaining on factions just incase so click “Filter By Faction / No Factions” and either leave it empty or enter 0

[image: i.ibb.co]


note that low stat players that are in a faction are probably growing fast, so searching for no factions is also beneficial because data will simply be wrong if they improved.

for war/raid:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ISxpSPaHgc
change the faction id in the "filter by faction/no faction" to the enemy faction id, assuming you allready made some attacks on them you will start to see targets.

[image: i.ibb.co]


STOP FETCHING (kinda important to use that feature please read)

lets say I just used Xanax, or I am about to make a lot of hits, and I want to see more targets that are slightly weaker, before you click next page, understand that this Website is HEAVY on the API, this website is only using your API when you are on it, but it is using it once for getting data from your recent attacks, and once FOR EACH defender for getting his status/online?/TimeLeftinHospital, meaning if you start clicking next page, you will consume 20 API calls per page, that will quickly get you to 100 (the limit of use for 1 minute) and will then make you wait the full minute for ANY of your tools.


TO AVOID THIS CLICK “Stop Fetching”

[image: i.ibb.co]

^^^


[image: i.ibb.co]

Now scroll away, instead of 20 API calls, you will use 0,when you see a page you want to stop on for more then 10 seconds, click "fetch status for all", and you will have the data you need again.

Ok but what are the Actual Total Stats of the targets?

glad you asked, simply click “ShowEstimated Range”

[image: i.ibb.co]

[image: i.ibb.co]

it is highly unlikelythat someone will have the upper ends of the stats, assume they have slightlycloser to the lower part, or if they are balanced, really close to the lowerpart, for your convenience there is also a BSS calculator:

I want to thank everybody that helped me by providing feedback and testing the website even at the start when it was much less user friendly!
especially for GalacticShrimp that helped from the moment I told him what I plan to make until to day, with priceless advice and feedback and for ShadyIsDaddy and Panopticism, my faction Co-leader and leader, which also helped test the website when it was very annoying to use and supported me advertising my project with the rest of the faction.

also thank you for people that are using it and are expanding the Targets Library, special thanks to my beloved faction The Railroad and CAPSLOCK team for the high usage and tons of feedback and encouragement.

There are still a lot of room for improvement, a lot of things that I know about and some things that I probably don’t. feel free to contact me in any way for feedback, so that I know what is important to you.

Looking for a company with good pay, doesn't matter the type

EDIT: HIRED :)

is there an added feature that lets me send money anonymously?(if I don't regularly have it?)

checking every hour will require me to use the api, TargetLibrary doesn't collect the api to the database let alone use it.
sure it sometimes will make battlestatscore data less accurate, but it isn't a major issue.

The table you see is a result of looking at 11k+ targets in the database reduced to 20 that are closest to a certain battlestatscore.
only after you get the 20 you are checking for each target what is his status.

The collection of data happens when you refresh the page, it checks in your latest 50 battles and in those you are the attacker and got between 1.16 to 2.99 FF it calculates the battlestatscore of the enemy and adds the enemy to the database.

basically, in the way the website works now, the database doesn't contain the attributes that are statuses/hospital time.

faction changes every days/weeks/months/years/never.
hospital and activity changes every minutes/hours.

keeping a list of 6500+ targets updated on hospital/activity would require me to save API keys of users and use them, which I currently do not do either, and even then it will probably not be enough to keep such a large growing list updated.

This list without major changes is unfortunately best at finding good targets and only then checking if they are available.

Currently I don't see a straightforward way to implement this into the list without major changes, but a good alternative is filtering by faction then choosing 0 which will only show targets with no faction, most people with no faction are relatively inactive.

alternatively you can add inactive targets to your favorites and click show favorites, this will allow not only to choose inactives for chaining, but any kind of preference like level and location and such.

I would request a link directly to the attack page if they're "Okay" like yata's targets does, that would cut down on at least one page load and button click.

I will change it to be an attack link

Would randomly collected yata lists (json) be useful to import for your data as well?

I am thinking the other way around, the Target Library currently contains 2,474 targets and currently grows at around 150 a day, I think I will make the list available from the website as a whole in some way so that people can use the data however they like

continuing the "register/user" part of the site might be an idea

reintroducing Authentication might happen in the future, I saw a significant lose of traffic when putting the users through the process of having to register, then having to confirm email and then having to make their own group and then add people to the group or try to join a group and wait for approval.

It made people not use the website and I completely understand them, but it is also true that there are a ton of advanced features that will only be possible with a Authentication, but I will currently focus on features that people can immediately use without registering, its just so easy to maintain and there is still potential for optimizations. Auth still lives in the back of my mind, might come back at some point.

To cut down on active API calls

This might change but this is how the API calls work currently:
always on reload:

• 1 check API access level
• 1 username and time in faction

if access level is limited access or more

• 1 recent attacks
• 1 battlestats

if fetch status is on:

• 1 api call for every favorite unless favorites is hidden
• if not filtered by faction: 1 api call for every target unless main is hidden
• if filtered by faction: 1 api call for all targets, then 1 api call every 6 seconds for all targets

so the way to use too many fetches is to have stop turned off and faction search turned off and clicking next page a few times, it is true, you will reach the limit, its important to stop fetching in such case when moving pages with faction filtering turned off or having a value of 0 on faction id.

if stop fetch is clicked, targets are displayed without looking at the api, its all from the torntargets database, you can click next page however much you like, no additional api calls will be made until you refresh the page.


thx for feedback, I was contemplating switching to direct attack link for some time now, seems better yea.

update oct 6th 2023:
* if you are searching by a specific faction, the target statuses will update without refreshing the page, and will require less API calls.

Thank you very much for the feedback, I made a few changes to the post for now, but might do better later.
I have no connection to Battle Stat Predictor, I saw it, its impressive and tbh I have no Idea how they do it.

Targets Library simply stores your API BSS and torn name in Local Storage (on your computer), uses them to get BSS info on players you attacked using the formula now shown on the top of the post, then it sends that data to the Targets Library table, and you get results from the table that are closest to 75% (which will be closest to 3 FF multiplier)

update oct 4th 2023:
* it is now possible to maintain your own list
* added a seperate phone UI as an alternative to the table view, can be disabled by choosing desktop view in your browser.

Hey guys, I am currently making a torn tool for sharing targets, no need to search for days after better and better targets, no need for wondering which of your targets that gives 3 FF is the weakest, it answers it all, the website is still in a very very early stage and would love for you to try it,here is a quick guide to set up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_C8hdopCxg&ab_channel=shir here is the current website address: https://repopo-jade.vercel.app/and the name of the current group that is being used: test have fun, and let me know if you have any questions!

Torn API is currently having issues in general, its not your project specifically. hope its back up soon
