Two smaller updates this time: one for the roster, one for the public API.
Clearer roster cards
Adding someone to the roster before their characters were in left you staring at an empty card with no hint of what to do next, and on a shared roster it wasn't always clear who was behind a claimed spot.
- No more dead-end empty cards. A member with no characters now shows a prompt and an Add button right where their characters go, instead of a blank row.
- Import straight from your linked guild. On your own spot, if your guild is linked, an Import button pulls your characters in so you don't have to add them one at a time.
- See who's behind a claimed spot. When someone else has claimed a member, their BattleTag now shows under the name, so you know who owns each spot.
A simpler API quota
If you build on the public API, with a Discord bot or a roster sync, the hourly quota is now simpler and more generous.
- One budget, counted in points. Each group gets an hourly point budget, 60 to start, rising to 225 then 600 as your group is supported, up from 20, 75, and 200 before. Reading data costs 1 point, saving a change costs 2, and importing a droptimizer costs 5.
- Cached responses are free. If nothing changed since your last call, the response no longer counts against your budget, so checking for updates often is cheap.
- Watch your usage live. The API key page in your group settings now shows how many points you've used this hour and when it resets.
- Saving changes is reliable again. Writing roster and setup updates through the API could fail with a temporary error. That's fixed.
These are starting numbers while we see how the API gets used in practice. We will keep raising them as we test and review, and we'll make sure there's plenty of headroom before the next tier.
Thanks to Khaos and Victor for helping test the API and sending feedback.
As always, feedback and ideas are welcome in Discord.
