You guys were kind of the unsung heros of MLB The Show 24 - so many great improvements to the API. Here are a few things from our "wishlist".

Improved Captains API
A way to see which cards are eligible for which captains.

Card Location Data
Data on where a card can be found in the game.

Swing Type Data
Push/Pull swing data

Player IDs in Game Logs
Right now, you only get a last name - making it hard to tie specific cards to game logs.

Inventory API
Information on how to pass in the auth to access the inventory API would be great.

Would it be possible to get "eligible_cards" added to the Captains API? Maybe it's just an array of all of the cards that are eligible for that captain?

Generally, we're able to use the requirements and parse them down on our own. However, some of the items that includes "real world stats" are a bit trickier.

Or maybe this is already available somewhere and I just missed it.

Big thanks as always!

I see this change has been made! Awesome! You guys are killlllin' it this year!

Adding the boosts to this endpoint would actually be even more ideal: https://mlb24.theshow.com/apis/docs/captains

@Pat_SDS Amazing! Really looking forward to this one!

@Tim_SDS AWESOME! Thank you, sir!

Hi @Tim_SDS_PSN, I see you replied but looks like it was deleted. Or maybe I'm just having issues seeing the post on my end.

Hi @Tim_SDS_MLBTS,

It looks like "quantity" is no longer showing up in the inventory API. Was this purposely removed or can we expect it back? We rely on that pretty heavily for how we use that API.

This is still an issue. Can someone at SDS confirm if there are new quick sell values or if this si a bug?

Awesome! Thank you Tim (and team)!

Heyya @Tim_SDS, I see that you replied but it looks like it’s been deleted.

This is an issue with the inventory API as well.

@Tim_SDS correct. We were hoping for an endpoint without cur_boost that way we can query all of the captains and their corresponding boosts. At the moment, there’s not way to get data on all of the captains without being authed.

Big kudos to the team on all of the improvements to the API this year! Great stuff!

Noelvi Marte is still listed as a Reds player in the API despite not being available on the inventory of the site/game. Can he be removed from the API or moved to Free Agents?

I understand these can be seen in the /api/captain.json view, however, that view requires auth. So at the moment, there's no good way to get data on all of the captains.

Can captain_boosts (sans cur_boost) be added to the /api/captains.json view?

Perfect - thanks Pat!

@NiteLordz there's an API for game logs?!

Daniel Bard is no longer duplicated/missing, but Jackson Merrill is the new issue. His Seoul Series card is in the API twice but his LS card is completely missing.

On some pages, cards show up as the last result and then the first result on the next page. Which is causing some cards to never display in the inventory.

On a related note, Daniel Bard's Live Series card is missing from the API.
