Implementation of Getting Builds Cards through Hoyolab images/links

[sturdy leaf]

I don't know since when this feature has been implemented. Last time I viewed my characters through battle Chronicles, I remember it only had Cons and Weapon info available.
But hoyolab has made it so that if you view your characters through Battle Chronicles, You can not only view character lvl, talent lvl, weapon and its lvl, which cons are active but also ability to view artifacts main stats and sub stats which is very good.

So I was wondering whether you guys can implement a feature in either shinshin or enka so that we can get character build cards through Hoyolab Generated Images/links.

As not all characters can be showcased on Genshin Showcase Box and if we want to view other character builds that aren't showcased then we will have to get many screen shots.

[hollow plinth]

some genshin discord bots (like mine) can already do so, tho the cards are not in enka style

[sturdy leaf]

Which Bot?

I just joined the server so I am very noob in this stuff

Cards generated by Hoyolab

I have cut my UID for personal reasons

[hollow plinth]

@tired breach , you can try it out in #bots
you need to link your hoyolab account with it with the /accounts command, then you can view build cards of all of your characters with the /profile command.

i dont think algo (creator of enka) will implement this as he's not a fan of collecting user cookies (hoyolab login details)

shinshin could be a way tho, since it just takes screenshots

[sturdy leaf]

Hmm
Instead if 5-6 different screenshots
It can be just 1 image.

[hollow plinth]

i mean hoyolab already gives you one image, it's just a bit long

with the bot you can generate better cards like these
its up to you

[sturdy leaf]

Yeah
I meant instead of taking 5-6 different ss to make Shinshin card
Just one hoyolab image to generate it.

Why not just use Enka.Network?

[hollow plinth]

because enka.network only shows characters in your showcase

[frozen cave]

I mean, profile feature is there for a reason

I might understand the little hussle of changing 12 characters on showcase

[hollow plinth]

it gets annoying having to switch characters on and off the showcase

[frozen cave]

But I personally don't see why using Hoyolab is a less hussle, when you update your builds and you are already in the game so might as well change showcase to save on profile

[hollow plinth]

for most of my users, they have a lot of built characters so thats why being able to see all characters' builds is useful
its not always because they have updated a build

[sturdy leaf]

My phone is a potato so I only play on pc

and like lets say my friend asks me for my char build (Which happens quite often) If I want to build card for lets say Ayaka (Which isn't on the showcase), I would have to open my pc, login then change character then Wait for few minutes then I would be able to generate Enka Card
Which is pretty annoying

Thats why

[sonic zealot]

hoyolab shows all the builds in this form, even if characters are not showcased on in game profile, but I think this only works for the mobile app.

[frozen cave]

That's why profile feature exists, you save builds and can remove characters from showcase and add another character's build, it is useful, unless you change your builds every day/week

[hollow plinth]

but it won't update itself

its still annoying having to switch the character on to the showcase, and then update it

being able to link to hoyolab just makes everything easier

[sturdy leaf]

I kind of do change

For Example I change Raiden between hyper carry and Hyperbloom all the time.

[frozen cave]

Then save 2 builds of Raiden

[sturdy leaf]

This is just one example
Ganyu between freeze and Melt
Etc
etc

[sonic zealot]

make enka account so you can save multiple build cards

[frozen cave]

It all can be done saving different builds on profile page

[frozen cave]

Maybe, but they should at leats try out profile feature seems like they are using only uid search feature

[sturdy leaf]

Yeah this is an option
But I was just asking if the implementation of this feature I am requesting is possible.

like 2 ways of doing a thing is better then just 1
😅

Or I don't know
I am new to this stuff.

[frozen cave]

Through screenshots? Not sure if it's okay by Algo

Through cookies? Not sure if it's okay by Algo

[hollow plinth]

as i said algo is not ok with cookies

but screenshots sounds fine

although this feature is mobile-only

so not sure how he's gonna implement that

actually, i dont think there's a need for shinshin as hoyolab already lets you export a complete card

[tepid brook]

i doubt algo will make shinshin for hoyolab in enka or whatever his past project was

[devout oar]

There is a way: I will need to make & publish an Android & iOS application so you're able to log in to hoyolab and make it interface with Enka that way. That's a lot of effort but could be done at some point, in theory.

You will need to open the app to sync Hoyolab to Enka.

[hollow plinth]

[frozen cave]

I was about to make a mobile application with widgets to include energy stuff from every game in 1 widget

[devout oar]

(or have someone else make it)

[frozen cave]

Might as well add Enka integration I guess

[hollow plinth]

how is it gonna work tho, how to get hoyolab info without cookies?

[devout oar]

sign into hyl in the app

[frozen cave]

webview sign in, yeah

[devout oar]

it gets cookies

then syncs data with enka over an encrypted channel

[hollow plinth]

oh, but everything works locally so its safe

the cookies dont leave the device

[frozen cave]

only thing that leaves the device is data

[hollow plinth]

i dont think characters data needs to be sent over an encrypted channel tho

[frozen cave]

what if

[hollow plinth]

oh but algo said you need to open the app for the data to sync

so its still not that convenient

the data on enka will not be up to date with in-game

its more like a bulk build-import feature

[tepid brook]

well

just say

"open the app to refresh"

easy as that

[frozen cave]

or just tap "update"/"refresh" on widget

I'm going craxy with widgets, don't mind me

[tepid brook]

we need better widgets for hoyolab

there is only genshin and hsr energy counters

so i have to go onto discord

find @tired breach in my dms

./notes

get my info

oh wait nvm they added zzz live notes to ios

[frozen cave]

but they are all seperate widgets with bunch of info

they still didn't make combined one

[tepid brook]

yeah

but i only really play zzz anyway

[hollow plinth]

doesnt really make sense to make a combined one

[frozen cave]

well, I was just doing for personal use anyways

[tepid brook]

i get confused by the people who manage to actively play and use all their energy in multiple gachas at once

[frozen cave]

I got used to

[devout oar]

it does, and the app needs to be obfuscated as well

it's a hard requirement

[hollow plinth]

why

[devout oar]

wanna take a guess before i reveal the answer

[devout oar]

can always do background sync, not a big deal

[hollow plinth]

idk

[devout oar]

the channel between showcase and enka has no possibility of tampering because i fetch the data

meanwhile user-uploaded data is being uploaded from their client, which i need to trust

enka is a source of truth and verification for many things, and with uploading a custom sync you could alter your builds

so either i do a tag that says the hoyolab build is not able to be verified as truthful, or make the app sync channel encrypted and logged to be able to ensure it's not tampered with during upload

[frozen cave]

no cheating

[sturdy leaf]

[hollow plinth]

just found a Chinese app that does exactly what algo said lol

it's for zzz

uses a web view to login to miyoushe

and it gets your characters, then send the data back to their bot's server

[devout oar]

if i cared i would do a funny and create a fake profile on their bot

[hollow plinth]

maybe they also obfuscate their data

but if they don't then I'm gonna become number one on the leaderboard

[devout oar]

just mitm it for funnies

inb4 plain https upload without cert pinning or any sync tokens

[frozen cave]

which framework was used to make this app?

[hollow plinth]

no clue

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frozen cave]

Should I use Flutter?

[hollow plinth]

i do use flutter

it is gud

[frozen cave]

I just got jumpcared
