VEX Via App - Data API

[Mentor_355v]

I’ve found the VexDB.io site to be very useful, as the REST API is much easier to use than scaping RobotEvents.com for data. That said, the VEXVia app now breaks down scores by cubes stacked and cubes in towers, which does not appear to flow to RobotEvents or VexDB. Does anyone know if there is a way to access this data outside of the VEXVia application?

Thanks in advance!

It’s possible to access VEX Via data directly through DWAB’s API, but doing so is not authorized by DWAB.

You could try data-scraping the VEX Via app itself.

Admittedly this was a fair while ago and things might have changed, but I had no trouble reverse-engineering the requests almost immediately after I had set up my monitoring proxy. Sigh. It’s disappointing to see you say this. The VEX via API isn’t public, and we don’t authorize anyone to access it outside of the VEX via app. RobotEvents provides APIs for that purpose.

TL;DR: if it’s not available in the .csv downloads robotevents provides, it’s not meant to be used by third-party software.
