Evening Folks (if you're on the East Coast US)
Can pool status be monitored through the PoolWatch app (via Google Play store)? I've had the CKPool Status app up and running for a while now, but PoolWatch works for another pool that I am using and I'd like to be able to monitor Kano stats from the same app if possible.
PoolWatch is asking for a "complete API URL (including API key)" ... I've tried scanning the barcode from my Kano user account page, entering the API listed, and the API for workers, all listed on my account page. No luck.
If it doesn't work at all, no big deal, just thought I would ask for a little help here.
Thanks and keep up the good work. September is starting out strong!
Cheers
Well yeah the qrcode (barcode) is just the long API key on it's own.Can pool status be monitored through the PoolWatch app (via Google Play store)?

The URL to the API is what's shown below without the https://kano.is on the front of it.
The reason the code is there like that is coz if any web page or app needs just the API key, without the full URL, that's what it gives you.
It's not difficult to add the rest of the text (though it is slow) but the API key itself is necessary to be 100% correct but more difficult to enter correctly due to it's length and the fact it's random, so you can scan that part with a qrcode reader on your phone/tablet.
If the full URL doesn't work, then I guess their program requires something different.
Tell them to change it
However, be wary of 'random' programs accessing the API.
It would seem that some coders think that the more often you get the API the better ... but in fact it's pointless accessing the API over and over.
Probably about once every 5 or 10 minutes is more than enough if you are looking for a miner that's gone offline.
If you do access it too often, your IP will get auto-banned for a while ... come back the next day
I'm doing a possible update to KanoDB today if I get the changes I'm doing finished.
I'll add another qrcode of the full URL below the one already there also, if I get time.
