Brings back an array of all the magazines on the Everygamegoing site.
/api/getAllMagazines/ |
This is one of the simplest commands to use as it does not require any parameters.
A "magazine" for the purpose of the underlying data storage, is considered to be a "run of a magazine". It is not an individual issue of a magazine. So this call is effectively an enquiry of the Everygamegoing site asking it "Which magazines do you feature?" and the response is a list of the magazines similar to the following:
{ "cmd":"getAllMagazines", "report":"Success", "count":63, "magazines": [ { "mag_name":"16\/48 Magazine", "mag_id":67, "language":"Spanish", "num_issues":26 }, { "mag_name":"8 Bit Power", "mag_id":56, "language":"English", "num_issues":1 }, { "mag_name":"A Traves Del Espejo", "mag_id":57, "language":"Spanish", "num_issues":10 }, { "mag_name":"A&B Computing", "mag_id":6, "language":"English", "num_issues":84 }, ... { "mag_name":"Zzap", "mag_id":11, "language":"English", "num_issues":106 } ] }
The fields returned are all self-explanatory but a table explaining them is given below.
Key | Human-readable Explanation | Value Data Type | Value Example | ||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
count | Count | Integer | 24 | ||||||||||||||||||||
magazines | Magazines | Array | |||||||||||||||||||||
|
Note that the key of the magazines array matches the value of the element 'mag_name' inside it.
The [num_issues] figure tells you how many issues of that magazine have been entered on the site. This does not necessarily equal the amount of issues of that magazine that actually exist.
