Hello there, I propose - to improve on a user's experience, that API's are used to minimize feilds required upon making a thread. In this example I'll be using Twitter. As we all know, when making a thread, we have the ability to chose prefixes to suit the account being bought or sold. I propose that when making a thread, the user inputs the name of the account being sold (this will not be shown to other members for obvious reasons) and an API request is made, automating the verified and followers states and values. This could either be done via the API or web-scraping, which is a little bit of a grey area in the law. This would also add to the modern feel of PlayerUp. I'd be more than happy to help, qualified in Node.JS, PHP and Perl excluding other languages not fit for this task. Thank you for your time, Jamie (cringing as to why I used my name as a username).
Well we can't do this for every game/category as we support 3000+ forums now. However yes certain sections this would be possible for such as YouTube, Twitter, Steam, PSN and other sections. Our 1st order of business this year in 2020 is implement this for Social Media Forums. Specifically, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Twitch and YouTube. After that, we will focus on Steam next and then XBOX and PSN likely after that.
