News and changes in Journal Limpet

New API endpoint!
2024-11-18

Hey everyone! We're releasing a new API endpoint.. oh yeah, I have an API endpoint..

API Endpoint for downloading journals

I kinda forgot to say anything about it earlier, but we have an API endpoint for downloading journals. You can find it at https://journal-limpet.com/api/integration/

The endpoints we have are:

• /api/integration/info - Gets your profile information with the info we have about your user.
• /api/integration/all-journals/download - Downloads all journals you have on your Journal Limpet account.
• /api/integration/latest-journal/download - Downloads the latest journal you have on your Journal Limpet account.

Tweet changes and EDDN changes
2022-06-26

Hey everyone! We're doing some changes to both Tweets and our EDDN integration.

Tweet changes

We're doing some overhauls to the currently spammy tweeting with barely no changes.

From now on:

• We will only send the tweets every monday at 00:30 UTC
• The stats will start to contain diffs from the latest tweet

So, instead of looking like this

Nightly stats #EliteDangerous

833 users registered
44.7 thousand journals saved
69.7 million lines of journal
https://journal-limpet.com

.. we will start using this format

Weekly stats #EliteDangerous

1 user(s) registered (Total 833)
5 journal(s) saved (Total 44.7 thousand)
4 thousand lines(s) saved (Total 69.7 million)
https://journal-limpet.com

EDDN changes

I already announced this on Twitter, but we've improved the integration with EDDN

Improved EDDN integration

Earlier, we only sent data for the Journal schema in EDDN. But now with release 2022.06.10.1645, we support a bit more

• ApproachSettlement
• CodexEntry
• FSSAllBodiesFound
• FSSBodySignals
• FSSDiscoveryScan
• NavBeaconScan
• ScanBaryCentre

The old Journal consists of these events in the journal:

• Docked
• FSDJump
• Scan
• Location
• SAASignalsFound
• CarrierJump

So, what this means, is that now we send even more data through EDDN (as long as it doesn't require us to have access to other game files)

Odyssey ready!
2021-05-22

Journal Limpet is ready to receive (and send) journals that are from Elite Dangerous Odyssey (and still Horizons)!

Keep on playing and storing those journals commanders!

Added FAQ page
2021-03-05

Since I've gotten some questions about Journal Limpet and what we can do and stuff, so now I finally added a page for that.

Enter the glorious Frequently Asked Questions-page!

I'll add more content to this page, if I get more questions and answers for you. :)

Canonn R&D integration released into public
2021-02-01

With the help of Commander LCU No Fool Like One of the Canonn R&D-team, we have made an integration that helps Canonn collect events from our stored journals.

If you want to opt in to sending some whitelisted journal entries to Canonn R&D, head over to your settings and scroll all the way to the bottom and enable the integration!

Safe journeys commanders! o7

Finally some good news
2021-01-23

We've added some new fancy things, like these news, with RSS and everything!

Oh yeah, you can grab the RSS at https://journal-limpet.com/api/Rss!

.. and we also made sure so that the index page now tells you the truth, if you actually are sending your journals to EDDN or EDSM.

And we have also added more safeguards, to make sure that your data is stored as it should!

Turn off EDDN, if you want to
2021-01-18

• Added setting to give the option to turn off EDDN sync

News page
2021-01-08
