TBA-API-V3

A Java library for pulling robotics data from https://www.thebluealliance.com.

This API uses the new TBA V3 API, for the V2, you can use the deprecated https://github.com/wdavies973/TBA-API-V2.

Installation

You'll need to create a TBA account and register a read API key here: https://www.thebluealliance.com/account.

With JitPack

Use JitPack to install the library with Maven, Gradle, SBT, or Leiningen. Simply go to https://jitpack.io/#wdavies973/tba-api-v3, select your release, and add the provided lines to your buildfile.

Gradle example:

allprojects {
		repositories {
			...
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.wdavies973:tba-api-v3:1.0.6'
}

Manually

Download the .jar file from https://github.com/wdavies973/TBA-API-V3/releases.

This API also requires json-simple. Download the .jar file at https://code.google.com/archive/p/json-simple/, and add both JARs to your build path.

Overview

TBA-API-V3 is modeled exactly off of the API specifications described at https://www.thebluealliance.com/apidocs/v3. All API calls found on this page are implemented in Java. Models can be found in the models package, if a model begins with a 'S', it represents a simple model as defined by the V3 API. To get started using the API, set the API read AUTH token with TBA.setAuthToken("<auth-token>"). Create a TBA object for usage with no constructors (better if parameters will be changed frequently) and a CTBA object for usage with constructors (better if parameters won't be changed frequently). For more information, visit the wiki at https://www.github.com/wdavies973/TBA-API-V3/wiki.

Android troubleshooting

Make sure you have internet permissions declared in the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

Make sure you run this line of code before calling any API commands:

StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitNetwork().build(); StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);

Make sure you make API calls in an AsyncTask

Future

I plan on supporting this project continually since it's used extensively in my scouting app over at https://www.roblu.net. Any contributions are welcome, including bug reports, feature requests, or code contributions.

Other

Report any bugs or suggestions to wdavies973@gmail.com If you'd like any more functionality as far as ways you can pull data, and what you can pull, let me know and I'll add it right away.

Roblu

This API is used by my scouting app Roblu. It's an all-in-one solution for scouting. Check it out at: https://www.roblu.net
