Newgrounds API to get information from urls

New Topic Respond to this Topic

Hello, i was wondering if there was any way to get information about projects on newgrounds (for example, getting art projects as png files or audio projects as mp3 files) from a url. Is there any way to do that?


Hmm...I'm not sure how the Advent Calendar game retrieved the art portal's images, but I do know that you can't stream the music from the audio portal.

What about Geometry Dash? How does it get the songs from newgrounds?

From what I recall of the last time that a similar topic came up, I believe that Geometry Dash retrieves songs from a server that the author set up. So it's not querying newgrounds directly.

In Geometry Dash you can enter a song ID and it loads the song from newgrounds. Since the last update, 2.2, there is now a music library with other songs, but you can still get songs from newgrounds

Then in that case I have no idea how they manage to do it.
