API support with circuits inside RecRoom

Why not add API support into RecRoom to get some data from other rooms, players and images. This would fully exclude the need for any chips like these here:

Why not add an ability to make API calls outside of RecRoom using circuits? This has been requested before here. This alone would be a breakthrough for many, here’s a few things I can see myself using this in:

  • Room Moderation, track kicks and bans easier and have a moderation history that is stored and updated all at once. Similar to Global Variables.
  • Complex operations like manipulating a string and data compression.
  • Player Telemetry data, I can see myself having a lot of fun analyzing and graphing any sort of data, also a lost post in zendesk, but you could track hotspots in your room where players gather.
  • Custom leaderboards and matchmaking, this is one way this can be done, but I believe a more elegant way of doing this is through global room variables.
