API Key

The API Key is a unique relic unlocked by sending a POST request to a "secret" endpoint. It was the first relic added to have a unique unlock method other than through quests.

Obtaining

As mentioned before, this requires sending a POST request to a specified endpoint. If you do not know how to do this, there are many services online that can teach you within a few minutes. A sample code is provided below.

API Key sample code (written with Python)

import requests
url = "https://gdcolon.com/zoo/api/zooKey" #endpoint
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "Accept": "application/json", "Token": ""} #request headers, insert authentication token into the Token header

#id refers to your Discord User ID
#password can be a few things (usually it's your public IP address/last 3 digits of your token). Leave blank at first to see the response 
params = {"id": "", "password": ""}
 
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=params)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.text)

The authentication token is obtained by

1. Logging into gdcolon.com/zoo

2. Going into the Application tab in the Developer Tools

3. Finding https://gdcolon.com under 'Cookies', which is located in 'Storage'.

4. Find the Cookie Value for 'zoo', which is the authentication token.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter an error while running the code via the aforementioned website, follow these steps:

Install Python
Save your code in a Python (.py) file, you can use Python itself, Notepad, Visual Studio, anything you want. Save it in your user folder under an easy name (e.g. zoo.py)
Open CMD (Win+R -> cmd), If you are on MacOS open Terminal from the Launchpad. If you are on Linux you know how to open the terminal already...
Run the following command: python [name of the file with the code you saved]
If you did everything correctly, you should now have the API Key relic!

If python says the "requests" library is not installed, run this command in your terminal:

python -m pip install requests
