Add support for custom Magnetico Sites

[lozbrown]

Magnetico is an emerging project to essentially host your own torrent search engine

https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico

It would be useful to add my own (and maybe my friends) magnetico sites to transdroid so I could search and add the magnets to my torrent client from transdroid.

[boramalper]

Is there a protocol, format, or any kind of standards transdeoid-search requires or is it simply fine with custom solutions?

I'll probably implement a RESTful API with JSON formatted messages, but I'm open to suggestions for interoperability. =)

[erickok]

No specific standard is required. Some use a json api (much preferred), some custom RSS feeds and some have to rely on html scraping. If you are yet to develop one, certainly go for a RESTful JSON API.

Interesting project BTW!

@boramalper , see at "OpenAPI Specification" for recommendations how write API easy to use for general API interoperability.

Done xD

Json-API with search and limit output (limit can be max. 100):
https://dht.bittor.ch/api?search=ubuntu&limit=3

Json-API latest 1000:
https://dht.bittor.ch/api

Base-page search:
https://dht.bittor.ch/?search=ubuntu

Base-RSS:
https://dht.bittor.ch/rss

Base-RSS search:
https://dht.bittor.ch/rss?search=ubuntu

Base-RSS search with limits number of output:
https://dht.bittor.ch/rss?search=ubuntu&limit=5

Basic magnet view:

Just clicked on https://dht.bittor.ch/api?search=ubuntu&limit=3 but it doesn't seem to produce any valid JSON output though.

[erickok]

Also, a sorting on at least the number of peers and/or availability would be good. The ubuntu search for example doesn't produce very useable results.

[boramalper]

I would definitely wait before using the API as it is not yet standardized across different magnetico web-interface implementations. I currently don't have time, but I'll discuss with @scriptzteam and possibly others to create a detailed specification of the API, which will ensure interoperability between different implementations. =)

@erickok how not valid json ??

http://jsonlint.com/ ---> Results ---> Valid JSON
https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ ---> Valid JSON (RFC 4627)
http://www.jsonschemavalidator.net/ ---> No errors found. JSON validates against the schema

Ubuntu search was just sample, you can always try https://dht.bittor.ch/api?search=rarbg ;)

Not possible for now to sort it by peers/availability as magnetico does not support it now :)

@boramalper will be more than happy to help on API :)

[erickok]

Now it does but when I checked it didn't produce proper JSON. Maybe you were working on it?

I'll wait a bit until a standardized and documented API is fleshed out, if you don't mind.

Hey @erickok! I'd kindly suggest waiting for the v0.7.0 release before implementing it. In the meanwhile, any feedback would be greatly appreciated: boramalper/magnetico#162
