It would be nice if the Game History logs included the series of the player cards. At the moment, there is no way to tell which card was actually used.

We're late to the party!

App Name: ShowZone
URL: https://showzone.gg
Platform: Web and mobile (Android app already released; iOS in the works)
Code: The backend is mostly in Python with a few microservices in jS/Node. Front-end is React/NextJS.
Functions: It does a little bit of everything. We have tools for Flipping, tracking collection costs, tracking your collection progress, team builder, advanced data (True Overall & Meta Overall), card builder, and SO much more.

series_year is the year on the card. Jazz Chisholm card was a 2023 Topps Now card. So the series year is 2023.

Instead of doing a post for each feature/suggestion, I figured I'd bundle a few into a single post. We're extensive users of the API and would love to see some of the following added in the upcoming year:

• Captains Data - would be nice if the information about captains (requirements, boosts, etc) is included in the API somehow. It'd also be nice to have the flipside of this, "Eligible for Captains" and it would list the captains a card can be used with.
• Season Eligibility - should show which seasons a card is/was eligible for or if the card is a "Core" card.
• Batter Tendency - the community is super interested in this data, but its pretty hard to find - even in-game. It's an important enough attribute to deserve to be in the API.
• Date Added - would be nice to be able to sort by newest/oldest cards.
• API For Game History - currently, the only way to get this data is to scrape the website - which isn't any fun for anyone.

@Pat_SDS_MLBTS, we love you guys! Big props!

It would be awesome if the "Where to Find" data was included in the API.

Does the. baked_img data in the API change on a regular basis? We just did a pull earlier today but we're already seeing different data for baked_img.

Can you provide information on how often or when it updates?

Big thanks! API is looking great this year!

It looks like about 700 cards this year are using the same UUID as last year - was this intentional?

Here's one example:

Sosa: https://mlb23.theshow.com/items/d3f93ce1ca1b6b4136abee05ace0fd94

Conforto: https://mlb22.theshow.com/items/d3f93ce1ca1b6b4136abee05ace0fd94

Awesome - that'd be killer!

Have we mentioned how much we love you guys yet? Because we do!

Nice! I'll let you know if we run into any issues.

PS - The sc_baked_img was a nice find as well! Big kudos to the web team - you guys are KILLING it!

Would it be possible to add "Real Name" to the API? This would be helpful for the Incognito cards.

Or a "Nickname" field - either way. Just some way to get the real-name of a player would be awesome!

I see Captains were added to the app - great work! Is the API for this info public?

Just wanted to be annoying and ask for this again

It's by far one of the most requested things we're asked about.

Thanks @Pat_SDS_MLBTS! Looking great!

This is working great!

Someone pointed out on the Supercharged cards, the pill under the overall shield, is RED and has an arrow pointing down - even though the cards rating went up to a 99. It appears to be correct in-game.

Nice! I'll let you know if we run into any issues.

PS - The sc_baked_img was a nice find as well! Big kudos to the web team - you guys are KILLING it!

Gotttt it! I think this was just the first time we encountered it. We made adjustments to handle this. Thanks for the confirmation, Pat!

@PAinPA_PSN said in UUIDs reused from previous years?:

Not possible with Sosa,this is his first year

Sorry if my original post was confusing.

Currently, IDs are being re-used for completely different cards. As seen in the original post example.

Awesome - that'd be killer!

Have we mentioned how much we love you guys yet? Because we do!

Thanks for the info, Pat!

A timestamp would definitely be helpful.

Another potential idea - would it be possible to have the signature always stay the same? So essentially, the URL in the API would always point to the newest baked_img?
