Blinkit can blink led's and lamp's on Steem related actions, but wouldn't it be nice if Blinkit could also be used by people that are not yet active on the Steem Blockchain?!
Beside light notifications Blinkit can also play sound notifications
Task request details:
Please help me find popular Games, (Social media) websites and other popular platforms and projects that have web api's or .json files to request information from. those services can be integrated into Blinkit and most of the functions already available in Blinkit work with those kind of services.
Below are examples of those service:
Web API examples
- Coinmarketcap Bitoin https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/bitcoin/
- Coinmarketcap Steem https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/steem/
- SteemJS https://api.steemjs.com/getBlock?blockNum=214
JSON example
Examples of things to think of / that would be nice to find web api's / Jsons request for :
- Minecraft
- World of Warcraft
- Lineage
What games do you play, what platforms are you active on and do they offer a web-api or json file request, or maybe there are 3rd parties that offer those services ?
For games it could blink for example on
- Player/clan activity (attacked, points etc)
- World activity
- Game/server status
Result
When Blinkit can blink LEDs and Lamps for users outside the Steem ecosystem, on actions they want to be notified by, it would also help to attract, and get them in touch with Steem and Steemit trough Blinkit. Blinking on Steem related actions is the initial and main purpose of Blinkit.
Deadline
There is no deadline for this request

There is a game which we call PUBG(developer.playbattlegrounds.com) on which i think having some integration with blinkit in some way could be interesting. The link added is the one where you could ask for API KEYS ETC...
Best would be open api servers, accessible without keys, because Blinkit not runs on a webserver, but local i think it would need api keys for each users that is running it.
well if you contact them probably you could be granted access to their api servers. They are keen to develop their platform and every interesting idea will be more than accepted and in my opinion this is a great idea :)
i feel like i should resteem this project !! may I ??
Yes of course, please resteem it, are you on discord by the way ?
yes i am on discord steemakers !! :) I am eliaraysalem
Wow, this is great and will be very useful for member even if they are not on Steemit. And for other platform too
Thank you, beside the above Utopian request, i think Blinkit can be also of a great benefit to the Africa community you work on, it can be used with basically any USB stick, and it can already be used to get notified about Steem related things when they happen and people can directly start interacting, which helps a lot when building a social network around you.
Maybe something that should be looked into further: Make Blinkit more visible in the Africa community, to promote Steemit, Blinkit and the recycling of hardware and giving it a Crypto purpose.
its a very intriguing concept brother. Upvoted
I've been talking a lot with @techtek about this project because i wanted to know more about it and also just to share some thoughts and i can tell you that i fell in love with the flexibility of this concept !! I ended up installing Blinkit and then "LET THE DISCO BEGIN" !! started to hook up all my USB devices and saw them bliking !!
Plus @Techtek is actively working on further improvements in this project adding more and more features and compatibility with other platforms and other output devices !!
@Techtek : LETS MAKE THE WORLD BLINKIT :D
Had a great talk last night, welcome on board and let's make the world blink :) !
😉👊from one HK expat to another - Great to see you're doing great things!
Thanks for the comment upvote and resteem, much appreciated
Hi @techtek, I like your projects and I like that you are asking for contributors, but this Task Request is too general and contributions related to this will be too basic, the idea of Suggestions Category is to suggests features, here you are asking for data/apis.
If you think I am wrong, please contact me on Discord, I will be glad to chat with you.
Also, next time, add the deadline.
PS: Here you can find some Public APIs

Thanks for the list that helps a lot!
These days sadly people would need be be a moderater to know all do's and dont's to get a approval. (even when following the guidlines and template)
We are changing rules to guidelines (soft rules), with this will be easier for contributors to get an approval.
If you have some ideas about how to improve the system will be awesome if you chat with us on Discord.
Rules are for stop abusers, but sadly strict rules are a barrier for good users too.
I don't know if you know, but Utopian will implement a new system where users will score contributions and together we can make a better Utopian, free of abusers. :)
