Talk:SplatNet 3

How do you extract assets from SplatNet 3?
I notice that on Splatfest pages, users add the team icons, and the art without the title or event times. Is there a webpage version of this service, or are these being ripped directly from the app? -N1ntendo- (talk) 18:51, 28 April 2023 (UTC)


 * SplatNet 3 is a web app hosted at https://api.lp1.av5ja.srv.nintendo.net, but it can't be viewed in a browser normally. The Nintendo Switch Online app opens a webview displaying this website. The Nintendo Switch Online app generates several tokens to authenticate with SplatNet 3's API and retrieve data from it. This can be done outside the app, but it requires using an external server or an Android emulator in order to generate `f` tokens like the Nintendo Switch Online app does. There's also a private repository of assets from SplatNet 3, but I believe many of those are either on Inkipedia already or would not make sense to include.

 * So what I understand, is that you can only do that from an Android emulator? And how does that generate tokens? -N1ntendo- (talk) 19:10, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I got access to SplatNet by using this guide, feel free to ask me if you have any questions

 * Thanks, hopefully this will help. -N1ntendo- (talk) 19:14, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Generating the `f` tokens to authenticate with SplatNet 3 is the only part that requires an Android emulator. Unfortunately, no one really knows how `f` tokens are generated. It's all a mess of machine code in the Nintendo Switch Online app. Services like imink provide a hosted way of generating `f` tokens, but at the end imink is still just using an Android emulator.

A Link Mabye
Should we add a link to SplatNet3 somewhere on the page? I would have, but I don't know what it is.

Sincerely

 * Splatnet 3 is part of the Nintendo Switch Online app exclusively for smart devices, as explained in the article. It isn't possible to link to Splatnet 3 standalone, as it can't be accessed through a web browser. It is worth considering adding links to the Nintendo Switch Online app, though.

 * Okay. Thanks. Cuttlfish59 (talk) 14:58, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Well… technically, just to clarify here… yes, it is possible to link to it standalone, and it can be accessed through a web browser :) FMI: https://github.com/frozenpandaman/s3s/wiki/in%E2%80%90browser-splatnet-3
 * The link to it is https://api.lp1.av5ja.srv.nintendo.net/. The NSO app just works by loading up that webpage. If you go to it in your browser, though, it'll show an error unless you set a cookie manually to let it know who you actually are. –Eli (talk) 12:15, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, should we add it?

 * I don't think it's needed; it's more of a fun fact/trivia item, as opposed to anything that's important to the article, since it's not really intended to be accessed that way and/or the vast majority of people aren't doing it like that. Though it is helpful for those without smartphones! –Eli (talk) 19:39, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
