Hive API Reference incomplete

Not only is the Hive API reference cryptic and complicated to read, but it is incomplete.
To get something done, I had to reverse engineer the api and beem.

https://developers.hive.io/apidefinitions/#bridge.get_ranked_posts

It clearly says there:

Query Parameters

{"sort": "", "tag": "", "observer": ""}

Those work, but after HOURS of tinkering and trial&error, I now know, that it also takes:

{"limit": 21, "start_author": "", "start_permlink": ""}

Where api.hive.blog accepts a limit between 1:100.
If your expected result is any longer than 100, you need to call again, and reference:

start_author the author of the last post in the results (without @),
start_permlink the permlink of the last post of the results.

If that is some developer humor, I don't get it.

In my case, the actual result is a list of 193 items.

This is either autism or gatekeeping.

And we all know its the latter.
It makes me sick. I fucking raged in voicechat over this.

You want Hive to grow?

You want to attract devs?

Fix that shit. ASAP.

The last month I extensively played around with OpenAI api.
Their API reference is a bit complicated, too, but I could find everything I needed.
If I sent a bad call, the API itself would reply with what it actually expects as params as error message not random code xyz, like hive api.

inb4:

• anything @gtg has to say about this. No need for your elitist useless answer, anyways.
• just use beem, lol

CUNTS!

For anyone wondering: building something so I can evaluate all entries to the maize challenge.
Will publish a tool, which everybody can use. For normal humans.
