Notes

DigitalCore uses a custom API. The adapter makes two calls:

  1. GET /api/v1/status — core stats (upload, download, class, bonus points, connectable, hit-and-runs)
  2. GET /api/v1/users/:id — enrichment (join date, last access, peer counts, forum activity)

Credentials are the uid and pass session cookies, stored as a JSON blob {"uid": "...", "pass": "..."}. Users copy them from DevTools → Network → any request → the Cookie header.

API keys do not work for stats

DigitalCore also offers an API-key mechanism (X-API-KEY, Authorization: Bearer, or ?apikey=), but normal API keys cannot reach any endpoint this app needs. Their documentation states that normal API-key access blocks "direct torrent detail, comments, peers, snatchlog, profile data, mailbox, admin tools, delete/edit actions, and request actions."

Verified against the live API — every user endpoint returns HTTP 403 with "This action (GET:...) is not allowed for API key access.":

GET /api/v1/status     403
GET /api/v1/users/me   403
GET /api/v1/user       403
GET /api/v1/users      403

Normal keys are limited to GET /api/v1/torrents, GET /api/v1/torrents/download/{id}, POST /api/v1/torrents/upload, and the moviedata lookup routes.

So the session-cookie flow is required, not a legacy choice. Don't spend time trying to replace it with an API key for a nicer setup experience — it cannot work unless DigitalCore changes their key scopes.

Mixed value conventions

The API mixes types within a single response: connectable is a number (0/1) while warned, enabled, donor and seedboxdonor are strings. There is no inferable rule, so never assume a field's type from a sibling — check a real response before writing a coercion.

Slots

Profile Card: username · class · avatar · join date (from enrichment)

Badges: warned · dc-unconnectable (rendered when connectable !== false is falsy — note this badge id is our own label, not a field name in DigitalCore's response)

Stat Cards: bonus points (bonuspoang) · hit-and-runs · seeding count · invites · peer counts (from enrichment)
