What is the difference between the player JSON files?

Zork

Hi

There seems to be a lot of different, but similar, player JSON files
eg
https://stt.disruptorbeam.com/player
https://stt.disruptorbeam.com/player?client_api=0
...
https://stt.disruptorbeam.com/player?client_api=20

Q1 Is there a list of what each version contains?

Q2 Does each file version N contain all the info in file versions 0 to N-1 ?
Or do some lower numbered files contain info not in some higher numbered files?
ie to get all the available info do i just need to download a single high numbered file, or multiple lower numbered files?

Many thanks!

You do realize that we can't see your JSON files. All of your links take us to the login screen. Only you can see your JSON files.

Thanks. Yes i know that. I was asking in general terms, not about my specific JSON files. I was hoping someone would point me to some un/official documentation or similar.

For example, why does https://datacore.app/playertools use https://stt.disruptorbeam.com/player?client_api=17 ?

If I remember corectly, DataCore used version 15 recently and then moved to 17.
The main reason is that Crew Retrieval related information was added to version 17. Inventory of polestars and constellations, amount of quantum and ISM, refined scanning model.
That's the only difference that I know. I didn't even know about other versions.

Thanks!!! Maybe i should ask the DataCore people about the JSON file versions.
BTW the other versions were just URLs I tried by changing the number at the end to see what I got. I think I got the original URL from what DataCore said to download.
