A note

This is an old project that I don’t maintain anymore. It was used for practice, and I’m not proud of how this was written at all.

I highly recommend you check out other wrappers that come with better features.

Thanks!

TrelloGet

TrelloGet is a straightforward and beginner-friendly module to get information from Trello boards. This is made for projects that primarily deals with retrieving information, such as blacklist boards for admins and music ID libraries.
With the read-only functions, a token is not needed to use this, and no extra account securing or creating accounts are needed.

I intended this module to be as straightforward, easy-to-grasp as possible. TrelloGet is essentially a pack of shortcut API calls, so you can retrieve and handle web information in one line—just like a built-in Roblox API.

To setup, simply modify the AuthKey module, paste your authentication key, and you’re good to go!

*Possible* Upcoming Features
  • HTTP request limiting
  • Built-in error handling
  • Retrieve due date in os timestamps

I had a lot of fun digging into APIs with this module, and I hope this could help you develop your projects. If you’d like to suggest features, provide feedback, build off this module and share it, please feel free to do so!

Just a question, why should I use this over the Original Trello API?

#3

Firstly, don’t use Trello as a database. It is really unsafe and you are at the mercy of a API key. Use a database like Mongoose or MySQL don’t use trello.

As long as your game does not dangerously overload requests in a short time, it’s not a massive problem.
This module is intended to simply read information from a Trello board and made for straightforward use, not managing a large database.
A lot of community games may want to easily pass information from a Trello board to their game. Take Ro-Av for example – an airline wants to automatically import their schedule from their board. I wrote this module to simplify that process.

The obvious difference is that my module is specific only to reading information and made for games that do not need writing to Trello.

The module you referenced was not made to be easily used (this phrase is on the very first line of said module: IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO SCRIPT GET OUT YOU WONT KNOW HOW TO USE THIS!) and the way the module is arranged/documented would need someone more time to fully grasp how to use it. This would feel heavier for those who just wants to import information from their board.

While nstrike159’s module has the complete features if you need to fully utilize Trello’s features, I want mine to be easy-to-use and simple for the more casual programmers.

In short, using either completely depends on your preference and your needs.

I honestly do not understand how this is more simple than the Original Trello API. Also, you need to know how script/program to use this too.

#7

Now I can easily have the updates on my Trello be dynamically updated in game.
Trello’s api doesn’t seem that hard to figure out, but this is still cool.
Thanks!

That is not what I M talking about. Trello isn’t meant to be used as a database. It is meant for project organization.

Mongoose isn’t a database, it’s a MongoDB data modelling library for use with NodeJS

Not really haha, I’m a clothing designer by trade, I code on the side!

Thank you so much for making this! Unlike TrelloAPI (which does not work) this works perfectly and is so easy to use.

If you could add events that would be cool.
Example

List.CardAdded:Wait()
List.CardUpdated:Wait()
List.CardRemoved:Wait()

stuff like that

Hello! This is an old (if anything, embarrassing) project I don’t maintain anymore, and there are better wrappers I recommend you check out.
