Is there an API for developers to make things related to Traktor?

Are there any developer communities around traktor?

Thanks

Hi.

There's no API afaik, there's many hacks [editing json & qt files...] where people found entry points/loopholes/etc - many making things much more productive - unfortunately they've always been rogue/fending for themselves, and NI has never taken the improvements on, and often the 3rd party tools had a very limited life span [i.e. became abandon ware...] for various reasons.

A few examples of/for devs/hacks:

A whole lot of mappings, tools, info is here:

Supreme Edition Mod [s5/8/4 etc]

S4 Screen Hack - [unfortunately seems to have been abandoned - last update & patreon interaction with the supporters was in 21/10 and nothing since]:

Mappings / midi controller tools:

There used to be a tool to overcome the shortcomings of NIs own mapping middleware, but I can't remember the name at all [ctrl manager, or somesuch ? ps found it -> https://cmdr-editor.github.io/cmdr/ ]. I thought pestrela has taken over the maintenance, but can't see it in his git pages

then there's the usual:

Hope this helps.

Aside of my Supreme Edition work, I’m currently involved in a personal project (non-related to NI) about which I can’t give any details (for now), and I’ve developed kind of a Traktor API…

If possible, I’ll provide more details in the future and share it with the community!

Can you give us a sneak peak at what kind of things would be possible to control with that kind of API?

Unfortunately, you can’t control Traktor through the API with HTTP post requests… However, thanks to what I’n developing you can read the status of some Traktor properties…

Feel free to imagine (or let in the comments) the projects that could be done/started as a result of having this “real time” information available! 👀

Current played / loaded track for streaming overview would be cool

Right now people use a hack where they "broadcast" to fake server just to extract current master deck track name :)))
