# API Setup
MacTorn requires a Torn API key to fetch your game data. This guide explains how to generate a key and what data MacTorn accesses.
## Generating an API Key
### Step-by-Step
1. **Log into Torn** at https://www.torn.com
2. Go to **Settings** in the sidebar
3. Click the **API Keys** tab, or go directly to: https://www.torn.com/preferences.php#tab=api
4. Under "Create New Key":
- Enter a name (e.g., "MacTorn")
- Select access level (see below)
5. Click **Create**
6. **Copy the 16-character key** that appears
### Access Levels
Torn offers several API access levels:
| Level | Recommended | Notes |
|-------|-------------|-------|
| **Full Access** | Yes | Simplest option, works with all MacTorn features |
| **Limited Access** | Yes | Works if you select required permissions |
| **Custom** | Possible | Select specific permissions |
### Required Permissions
If using Limited or Custom access, MacTorn requires these selections:
| Permission | Used For |
|------------|----------|
| `basic` | Player name, ID, basic info |
| `bars` | Energy, Nerve, Happy, Life bars |
| `cooldowns` | Drug, Medical, Booster timers |
| `travel` | Travel status and destination |
| `profile` | Battle stats, faction info |
| `events` | Recent events feed |
| `messages` | Unread message count |
| `money` | Cash, vault, points, tokens |
| `battlestats` | Strength, Defense, Speed, Dexterity |
| `attacks` | Recent attack history |
| `properties` | Property information |
For watchlist functionality:
| Permission | Used For |
|------------|----------|
| `market` (v2) | Item prices from Item Market |
## Entering Your API Key in MacTorn
1. Click the MacTorn icon in your menu bar
2. Go to the **Settings** tab
3. Enter your API key in the text field
4. Click **Save & Connect**
MacTorn will immediately attempt to fetch your data. If successful, you'll see your status appear in the Status tab.
## API Data Usage Disclosure
In compliance with Torn's API Terms of Service, here is exactly what MacTorn accesses:
### User Endpoint (v1)
MacTorn calls the user endpoint with these selections:
```
/user/?selections=basic,bars,cooldowns,travel,profile,events,messages,money,battlestats,attacks,properties
```
**Purpose:** Display your player status, bars, cooldowns, travel info, faction, events, messages, finances, battle stats, and attacks.
### Faction Endpoint (v1)
When you have faction data:
```
/faction/?selections=basic,chain
```
**Purpose:** Display faction name, chain status, and war information.
### Market Endpoint (v2)
For watchlist items:
```
/v2/market/{itemId}?selections=itemmarket,bazaar
```
**Purpose:** Fetch current market prices for items you're watching.
## Security Best Practices
### Do
- **Use a dedicated key** for MacTorn that you can revoke if needed
- **Limit permissions** if you don't need all features
- **Keep your key private** - never share it
### Don't
- Don't use your main API key for third-party apps
- Don't share your API key with others
- Don't commit your key to git or public repositories
## Key Storage
MacTorn stores your API key locally using macOS's `UserDefaults` system. The key:
- Is stored on your Mac only
- Is **not** transmitted anywhere except to Torn's API
- Is **not** backed up to iCloud
- Can be removed by clearing MacTorn's preferences
## Revoking Access
If you need to stop MacTorn from accessing your Torn data:
1. Go to Torn API settings: https://www.torn.com/preferences.php#tab=api
2. Find your MacTorn key
3. Click **Delete** next to it
MacTorn will show an error state until a new valid key is entered.
## API Rate Limits
Torn's API has rate limits. MacTorn is designed to respect these:
- Default refresh is 30 seconds
- Minimum refresh is 15 seconds
- Each refresh makes 1-3 API calls depending on features used
If you're using multiple Torn apps, you may want to use longer refresh intervals.

```
## Architecture Overview
### App Structure
MacTorn uses SwiftUI with the `@main` attribute and `MenuBarExtra` scene for the menu bar interface.
### State Management
**AppState** (`AppState.swift`) is the central state manager:
- Uses `@MainActor` for thread safety
- Handles API polling via Combine's `Timer.publish`
- Manages data parsing, notifications, and watchlist
- Uses dependency injection via `NetworkSession` protocol
### Networking
The `NetworkSession` protocol abstracts network calls:
```swift
protocol NetworkSession {
func data(from url: URL) async throws -> (Data, URLResponse)
}
```
This allows injecting `URLSession` for production and `MockNetworkSession` for testing.
### Data Models
All models are in `TornModels.swift`:
- `TornResponse` - Main API response
- `Bar` - Energy/Nerve/Happy/Life bar
- `Travel` - Travel status
- `Status` - Player status
- `Chain` - Faction chain
- `WatchlistItem` - Watched item with price
`TornAPI` enum contains endpoint configurations.
## Testing
### Writing Unit Tests
Tests use `MockNetworkSession` for API testing:
```swift
import XCTest
@testable import MacTorn
final class MyTests: XCTestCase {
func testExample() async throws {
let mockSession = MockNetworkSession()
let appState = AppState(session: mockSession)
try mockSession.setSuccessResponse(json: TornAPIFixtures.validFullResponse)
await appState.refreshNow()
XCTAssertNotNil(appState.data)
}
}
```
### Test Fixtures
`TornAPIFixtures.swift` contains sample JSON responses for testing.
### Running Tests
```bash
# Unit tests only
make test
# UI tests only
make test-ui
# All tests
make test-all
```
## Key Patterns
### API Polling
`AppState.startPolling()` uses Combine's Timer:
```swift
func startPolling() {
timerCancellable?.cancel()
timerCancellable = Timer.publish(every: TimeInterval(refreshInterval), on: .main, in: .common)
.autoconnect()
.sink { [weak self] _ in
Task { @MainActor in
await self?.fetchData()
}
}
}
```
### Live Countdown
Travel timer updates every second independently of API polling:
```swift
travelTimerCancellable = Timer.publish(every: 1, on: .main, in: .common)
.autoconnect()
.sink { [weak self] _ in
self?.updateTravelCountdown()
}
```
### Accessibility
`TransparencyEnvironment.swift` provides a custom environment key:
```swift
@Environment(\.reduceTransparency) private var reduceTransparency
```
Views use this to adjust backgrounds based on accessibility settings.
### State Persistence
- `@AppStorage` for simple values (API key, refresh interval, appearance)
- `UserDefaults` for complex data (notification rules, watchlist)
## Contributing
### Workflow
1. Fork the repository
2. Create a feature branch (`git checkout -b feature/my-feature`)
3. Make changes
4. Run tests (`make test-all`)
5. Commit with descriptive message
6. Push to your fork
7. Create a Pull Request
### Code Style
- Use Swift standard naming conventions
- Keep views focused and extract components
- Add tests for new functionality
- Update documentation as needed
### Pull Request Guidelines
- Describe what changes were made and why
- Reference any related issues
- Ensure all tests pass
- Keep changes focused (one feature/fix per PR)
