ESOUI's AddOns database ?
 

Greetings,

New to this forum, I couldn't find any post related to my question, sorry if there's actually any.

I'd like to build my own AddOn manager for ESO, and for this I need to programmatically access the AddOn's list on ESOUI's website. The idea would be, with an addon's name, to access a download link and all the prerequisite addons.

I first tried to web scrape the search page, without luck since you can't simply put search terms in the URL (maybe it's a PHP thing).

I guess it's possible, since Minion does it pretty well. Any idea?

No it's not possible as the addon DB is not accessible via any tools.
Minion is an exception as it was created/supported by the ESOUI website.

All you can do is parse webiste code here at esoui, check for the unique addonId in the website url:
addonId is 1091 so you'd need to split it from the link.

Start a download of the most up2date version of the addon via:
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/dl<addonId>/
But this won't help you to get a list of addons, so I do not recommand into building any addon manager.

Hello, thanks for the answer.

Well, if not a manager, at least I can automate the installation of own addons configuration. Since I usually install the same everytime and they have many dependencies, I'll gain a lot of time by scripting it.

Greatly appreciated, thank you!
