4. Alternate Notification Methods

Alternate Notification Methods


  • It would be a really neat feature to allow you to set a notification URL in your profile, and be able to send (for example) a 1k payload POST request to that URL from your script. For example, if I want to have more complex/historical logging or alerting, I could set up a simple HTTP server that exposes an endpoint to accept this data.

    Something along the lines of:

    Game.httpPost(dataObject);

    There should probably be a rate limit of one message per tick or something to prevent abuse, but it would definitely allow some cool community-driven features and supplemental applications to be built.

     

    Edit: another abuse-prevention method could be applying an increasing cool-down on changing your URL to prevent people automating that aspect as well.

    Have you seen the Screepers community projects? They include tools for SMS notifications, Elasticsearch stats and consoling logging, and the tools you'd need to build your own stuff.
