With a solid understanding of JavaScript comes an understanding of new realities, the broadening of new horizons and the exploration of new vistas.

The textboards have had a JSON interface for years. /prog/scrape uses it.

I already have one, but I won't publish it because it would make it too easy for the /b/tards to find and shit up active threads that are off the front page.

I don't know what the 4chan browser extension does, but there are dozens of /prog/ user scripts floating around.
I personally only use one that hides Cudder's comments. I used to use the SexpCode one, but it's buggy and incomplete.

But the JSON interface was crippled in some retarded way pertaining to tripcodes, no?

Only that there's no way to tell from the JSON whether someone used a tripcode or just put a ``!" in the name field.

A 4chan API is now available.
