    * Subj : FidoNet Nodelist Database ============================================================================= Hello, All!

    I was playing around with DuckDB and Golang and in parallel, I needed an API to query node information for my other pet Fidonet projects.
    So I created https://nodelist.fidonet.cc and shared the DuckDB database used there (many thanks to Pavel Gulchouck for original https://nodehist.fidonet.org.ua/ project!).

    Enjoy!

    PS. New nodelists will be added there automatically in a couple of days. Sorry for any possible bugs.

    Very cool! I've bookmarked it for future use. ;)

    I did notice one small thing. When doing a sysop search, it tells you you can use "John Doe" or "John_Doe". At this point, I was unable to use a space between first and last name, but using the underscore worked as expected. Tested using Firefox and Microsoft Edge, same result.

    New nodelists will now be added automatically, with the ability to download them from the web page or via the API.

    Looks nice.

    - in my case, searching the name, only underscore variant works
    - do not understand these "removed from nodelist" - time to time (I was not)

    I prefer that nodehist.. Easy overview, what is needed can fit into one page.

    Also, who would need API for that? I mean for what reason?

    Mea culpa! I changed the database (added ClickHouse support in addition to DuckDB) and some queries were not fixed for that. Now it's working again.

    - do not understand these "removed from nodelist" - time to time (I
    was not)

    The Nodelist wasn't always handled very well during Fidonet's history. For example, some Nodelists are missing Z1 entirely (or some nets and regions), sometimes nodes are duplicated and so on. I'm working on providing some solution for these issues, but it'll take a while since it's not a top priority right now.

    I prefer that nodehist.. Easy overview, what is needed can fit into
    one page.

    It's not a replacemnt, just another implementation with more features.
    For example: pointlists will be added soon.

    Also, who would need API for that? I mean for what reason?

    I do! I need it for my new echo reader. And also to get some fun.
    For example: https://nodelist.fidonet.cc/analytics

    How is it going to help end the war in Ukraine?
