Major Roadblock

Devlog #4

Development was going pretty smoothly with my request for every single FRC team being implemented.

The Roadblock

As I was about to start getting the guessing part of FRCdle actually implemented, I got hit with a 500 from Statbotics. I tried again and again and again but I just couldn’t get the API data no matter how hard I tried. I tried clearing my cache and restarting my development environment to no avail. I eventually went to the REST API documentation on Statbotics and tried fetching data directly from there, but I was hit with an error where Statbotics asked me for an API key. I don’t have an API key. I asked a few other people about this issue and they were facing it as well. So now, I think that Statbotics itself is down which means I’ll have to stop backend development for who knows how long.

Next Steps

There isn’t much I can do. I can work more on the frontend but as long as Statbotics is down, I won’t be getting much progress.
