Douban api, what do you want to do?

I have been in the douban api group for a while, and I once liked douban because of my preferences (of course, I still like it very much, and I visit it every day ), I wrote a douban api access framework for c #. After reading the questions raised by my friends in the group, I will reply to them if I understand them. However, as opposed to facebook, twitter, and other sns websites keen on and investing in APIs, douban's api team has really disappointed me.

The first question is, why does douban need to open APIs? Is it because someone else has douban? I hope no, it will become a show. The most unfortunate one is not very eye-catching. On the contrary, some vulnerabilities may lead to a reduction in the access performance of douban servers due to a paranoid nature, if I see a white page or 404 page when I access douban one day, it may affect my mood, so you must hold on to douban!

In any case, the api is still provided, but what do developers do with these applications? As I saw in the api group, a web application or a mobile phone accesses the douban program to help you get bored when you are in the toilet or on a bus, I don't think these applications are of great significance. douban is not sticking to people like QQ. It is always helpful to let people look at new developments of friends and see if Lazarus is smooth, at least for most people, including me, there is no douban impact, but without QQ, there seems to be something missing in life.

Anyway, I am very happy to see that douban provides APIs, but it is not what I want. I also strongly urge the douban api team to pay more attention to and listen to developers' voices.

What do I want? Similar to the twitter api, I can use the douban api to build a douban site of my own, or just a part of my personal site, rather than a or douban show in the corner. Douban is definitely a miracle. Inspired by books, music, and movies, the sns website established based on interest has not seen any competitors offering similar services in China, where piracy is rampant, but I don't think it should lead to a closed boss's temper. The success of twitter indicates that openness can create more value. countless personal twitter sites bring more users and greater success to twitter. The typical closed model is Sina. What they want is information aggregation. They care about the content provided by users, far more than the personalized needs of users, song zude's exposure of which StAR has made a small three can always bring a lot of clicks, as long as the advertisers are satisfied, you can use it together for individual users. What does douban do? My personal understanding: provide users with relevant information about the content they are interested in, and allow users to use douban to find friends who share their interests. If so, there is no need for users to lock douban on www.douban.com. Why not give users more choices?

Finally, I am not satisfied with the support provided by the douban api team for the development team. Let's make a comparison. The comment and bug I mentioned on jQuery usually get feedback from the development team about a day. Sometimes, on douban, it seems like jQuery is not a profit, while douban teamer receives the salary. I understand that you are very busy, but when you are busy, please come back to me. Even if my problem seems a little retarded, it is also a concern and support for douban.
