Contributor's Guide

I welcome requests! Follow these steps to contribute:

  1. Find an issue that needs assistance.
  2. Let me know you are working on it by posting a comment on the issue.
  3. If you find an error in the code, please provide a link to the file and the line number.
  4. If you have a suggestion to change the code, you can post a block of code to replace. I don't currently have time to learn pull requests, so it might work this way.

How to build from source

  1. Delete the "PersonalUtilities" project from the solution.
  2. Add the latest version of the "PersonalUtilities.dll" library (from the latest release).
  3. Import PersonalUtilities.Functions for the whole project.

Always use the correct "PersonalUtilities.dll" library. You must download this library from the release of the code you downloaded.

How to request a new site

  1. Check issues (open and closed) and discussions to find your issue. Perhaps I have already answered your request.
  2. If you don't find anything, create a new issue with your request. I usually reply as soon as possible (within the next few hours).
    • If I'm interested in a site you want to add, it may be added in future releases.
      • If the site has an API that does not require authorization, it may be added in the coming releases.
      • You can make it faster by posting a link to the API. I don't use OAuth authentication in my application, so if it's not too hard to make a new parsing algorithm without OAuth authorization, I can start developing it in the coming days. Otherwise, I need time to figure out how to do it.
      • If the site does not have an API that does not require authorization, this may take some time.
    • If you will be posting request urls without OAuth authentication, I might consider adding your site if I have time.
    • If I'm not interested in the site you want to add, you can pay to have it added by making a donation of approximately $10. But before that, you still need to create an issue. If I'm not interested, you can offer me a deal to develop it for money. I'll check the site you want to add, check the availability of the API and tell you how much time I need to develop it and the price. If you agree, I will do it. ko-fi

Sites I will never develop

  • Facebook

Sites requested by users

  • TikTok
    • API for receiving data without authorization was not found. Therefore, I don't have time to start developing this site parsing algorithm. If anyone knows of requests that may collect data without OAuth authentication, please let me know.
