Update Notes
Spoiler:
Quote:update 4:
I've cleaned up the source code for the Alpha release. Besides, if you haven't seen it yet, it's released right here: [link]
I've also updated THIS thread, with the logo and making it a bit easier to read.
- Cleaned up all code
- Got rid of some issues
- Made sure all functions work properly
Currently, the goal is to make every function work FASTER.. Lets say within only a couple of lines or maybe only 1 line (if possible).
Please tell me if you have suggestions!

Recoded some functions to make them work faster (now using Split) (also minimizes the size of the code)
I've coded 2 new things:
- Getting the main usergroup
- Getting the total amount of CCP
- Also added a new pic to show the extra stuff =3
I now also made sure that there's no error if a user has no image. It returned an error if the user didn't have one, now it's simply replaced by a broken url image.
Also I've completely recoded getting the signature because it was kind of broken, but now it works 100% for every user and any signature! <3
Next things I'll be focusing on is recoding a lot of the functions using Split because it's fast, reliable and also short code.
Quote:update 2:
Recoded getting the avatar, now works for ANY link. all there's left to make a check if the user has an avatar or not (now done as of update 3)
- Added the ability to log in via a form, no webbrowsers needed (thanks to Sap for cleaning up!)
- Added the ability to get the custom usertitle (code thanks to shebang!)
Next up in the list is to get forum-names/sections and to get the usergroup images (need some help)
Also added an image for you to see the logging in! There's a webbrowser in there, but has nothing to do with the log-in script.
Quote:update 1:
recoded EVERYTHING, loading times have been decreased by 13 sec. loading time was 10-15 sec now it's only 1-3 sec.
Added 4 functions:
* Get local time
* Get location
* Get gender
* Get date of birth
I also made sure proper error checks are made if the specified UID is not linked to a user.
*updated preview images because new functions were added
CURRENT FOCUS: Recoding most of the functions, maybe adding some more (optimization) Making the code FASTER, and making a thread layout (would be nice if someone did it FOR me).
It's working for ALL CodeCommunity users

This is super alpha.

I'm happy to receive suggestions!
I've already got 1 suggestion for making it possible to view the whole memberlist with their UID next to it, would you like that??
How will implementation be?
Easy, you'll just have to insert the project into your own. A tutorial on this will come when this is ready. (after alpha/beta)
Is it open-source?
It's open-source, since a lot of people wanted it to be. You can view a source-download right here: [link]

Can't wait for release been seeing the progress and it looks great!

Why are you working on the easy bit ?
Go over to thread lookup and posting via VB
Good work though, Webrequest/RegEx ?

Because the easy bit is... wel... easy.. I use both webrequest and regex but depends for each function <- it became kind of quick now.
I need to work on logging in first but Sap will need to help me with that or Breshie.

Alright
RE: [VB] API for CodeCommunity [WIP] - Shebang - 07-23-2013
If you're looking to get the usertitle still (says so in your focus), here's a solution.
Code:
Dim x As String = New IO.StreamReader(Net.WebRequest.Create("http://www.codecommunity.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=" & UID).GetResponse.GetResponseStream).ReadToEnd
Return Split(Split(x, "<!-- start: member_profile_groupimage -->")(1).Split(">")(0), "alt=""")(1).Split("""")(0)Just FYI, Split() is twice as fast as RegEx (if that's what you are using).
