A simple example would be restore last post option, it's something that's not needed often but when needed feels like a life saver.
I've fortunately yet to need this one, but it's such a cool feature. Will definitely be glad to have it at some point, I'm sure.
I only said this 2 days ago, but I spoke too soon!

I clicked preview on a post and my log-in session ended, so the 'restore last post' saved me from a lot of re-writing!

Well there's a fist time for everything. I'm glad it helped

Even though it doesn't get used much, it's among one of my favourite RS Linkify features.

Hope you are well Blasty

Big thank you for your expertise. I'm sure AoDude will find that quite helpful.

rip, nope
I have a feeling I know what you were trying to do. Assuming you were trying to do something.

If I'm right, I'll make it so you can do it

You know me well..
If you wish you can give it another try and see how you go

Version: 3.1.9.50 needed. Will only work on this thread btw.

Hey there

This code should do it:

// === server.js

var http = require('http');
var request = require('request');

var list = JSON.stringify(["le me","Scuzzy","Los","Omid","iTrolledU","Lib Tech","Jessie","Wisely Done","My Kingz","Mr Blob"]);

var url = `http://services.runescape.com/m=website-data/playerDetails.ws?names=${list}&callback=jQuery000000000000000_0000000000&_=0`;

http.createServer((req, res) => {
request({url}, (error, response, body) => {
res.end(body);
});
}).listen(8080);

// ===

The tricky part is that the API only accepts a specific callback pattern. It also has a strict rate limit and gives 404's without a useful error message.

This page helped me out a bit:

Let me know if you need more help


I have had some success with a different method, which gives me everything I need for clans. However, I continued to try other things, including your code, to try to get an unabridged version of the api in an attempt to be able to check online status.

For instance, see the difference between clicking this link, and copy pasting it in your address bar: http://services.runescape.com/m=website-data/playerDetails.ws?names=%5B%22aodude%22%5D&callback=jQuery000000000000000_0000000000&_=0

Clicking the link gives you 2 more variables than if you copy/paste, "Online" & "World".

Now after trying your code, tbh the command structure I am used to didn't work. For instance nesting a console.log(body); inside the request didn't do anything when I ran the code. I am probably missing something, because I haven't used http.createserver for anything before.

So, A: I am not sure what I am doing wrong with your code, and B: I am not sure if those 2 additional variables are even obtainable since the request is outside of runescape.com..
