mbstavolafriendcaster-server's Issues
First API hit after a while will return 500 error
The way Heroku works, if our API hasn't been hit in a while, all of its data will be unloaded from memory. When it's reloaded back into memory, we hit the official SBFC feed and parse it out into our own data-model. However, the first time we hit their server, since our refreshes are done asynchronously, we return an object that has not yet been populated, so we return a null object, and get a 500 error.
We should probably block in the Friendcachester's get method until the data-model is not null.
Duration missing from most episodes
The expected contents of an episode is something like:
{
"map" : {
"link" : "http://superbestfriendsplay.com/podcast/sbfc-120-super-bunny-dumps-feat-superbunnyhop/",
"dc:creator" : "Woolie",
[. . .]
"duration" : 14477,
"enclosure" : { [. . .] },
[. . .]
}
}
Yet it appears as though the duration field is only present for the first three episodes in the response (page 0); the duration field is entirely missing from most episode jsons.
Off-by-one in pagination
The first episode of the Friendcast doesn't show up when you use the paginated version of the feed.
Flatten (and clean) api response
The current api response is super nested. For example:
{
"map": {
"hasNext": true,
"episodes": {
"myArrayList": [
{
"map": {
"link": "http://superbestfriendsplay.com/podcast/sbfc-109-tassadars-butthole/",

The client app has to drill down pretty far to get any useful information, making it really annoying to work with. Additionally, a lot of this data is fluff and probably won't be used anyway.
It would be nice to get responses in a format like this instead:
{
"hasNext" : true,
"episodes" : [
{
"link" : "http://superbestfriendsplay.com/podcast/sbfc-120-super-bunny-dumps-feat-superbunnyhop/",
"title" : "SBFC 120: Super Bunny Dumps (feat. SuperBunnyHop)",
"pubDate" : "Tue, 24 Nov 2015 05:00:26 +0000",
"duration" : 14477,
"url" : "http://traffic.libsyn.com/superbestfriendcast/SBFC120.mp3",
"type" : "audio/mpeg",
}
]
}
A lot cleaner to work with and read!
