(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Octolus made something like this for his site a while back, but I noticed it was broken so I decided to clean this one up and share it. I reversed Sony's API for their iPhone app a few months ago and had some cool stuff like message spamming, trophy lookup and other things but I think I had issues with the login process so I never finished it. Anyways, this is a basic lookup app that will display some public information for a user. I also created my own API to parse and return their API's code into JSON (yo_dawg_meme.jpg). BTW, this API generates an oauth token each request so it shouldn't ever break. But if it does, just quote me or PM me letting me know and I'll fix it! You never know, Sony could update their API or whatever.

Here's the site:
You must login or register to view this content.

and the API:
successful return - You must login or register to view this content.
invalid psn - You must login or register to view this content.
invalid input - You must login or register to view this content.

I'd still like to be able to do this same method though.. Little things like this I find interest in. I have been doing a lot of research for a method to do this and i never get a response on when the "lookup" is submitted.
maybe you can help me figure it out ? since you clearly already know how to do it.

You need an OAuth token to send with the request, along with some additional info like the client id and app id. What I do is just grab a refresh OAuth token before each request so that way it should always work unless Sony updates something. It's probably a bit confusing if you haven't looked into the actual requests yet but all that info is just sent in the header which should let you view the info you request (as long as you have the right permissions to do so).

you can also use Sony's API, which is easier: You must login or register to view this content.

and use Referer:You must login or register to view this content.

yeah that is what I would like to have. pretty much same thing tustin has but smaller and displays the response differently.

The API is working as of 9/13/2016 3:32 PM EST.
His site may have been DDOSED, SERVER MAINTNANCE, PSN ACCOUNT USED FOR API BAN, etc.

Nah still down man :'( This API is great, nothing else like it for free, there's a few other API but they cost like $20 for the same thing this API does :( Hopefully Tustin will get his website back up soon Smile

Sorry about the downtime. I forgot to renew my SSL cert and just now got around to renewing it :p. I setup a weekly job to auto renew my cert so it shouldn't happen again. If my site isn't working for you, you can try clearing your cache.
