Other files
/languages.json- the language codes, as a JSON list./<language>/today.json- the DigiFact of the day: the same fact for everyone, in every language, changing at midnight UTC. Every fact is shown once before any repeats. Includes the title, number, and the text in all three formats./<language>/feed.xml- an RSS feed of the DigiFact of the day (the last 30 days). Use it with any RSS app, or an RSS bot to post DigiFacts to Discord, Telegram or social media./info.json- when the facts were last published, the block count used and where it came from, and each language's progress.
Using them
- Show a random fact, e.g. when the page loads or once a minute.
- Some facts include live data such as the number of DigiByte blocks, so fetch the file again every few hours. Don't fetch it more than once an hour.
- Browsers can fetch the files directly (CORS is allowed), so they work in any website or app.
Add DigiFacts to your website
Add this where you want a DigiFact to appear. It shows a random DigiFact, which changes every minute, and uses your site's font and colours:
<div data-digifacts data-lang="en"></div>
<script src="https://digifacts.diginode.tools/embed/v1/digifacts.js" async></script>Options (attributes on the div): data-lang (a language code, or auto for the visitor's language), data-box="no" (text only), data-interval (seconds between DigiFacts, or 0 for just one), data-credit="no" (hide the small "About DigiByte DigiFacts" link), data-accent (a colour, e.g. #0066cc), and data-exclude-tags and data-exclude to hide DigiFacts (see below). Here it is:
On WordPress, you can use the DigiFacts plugin instead.
Hiding DigiFacts
Some DigiFacts are about a particular website or project. A website that's mentioned in DigiFacts will usually want to hide those DigiFacts on its own site - its visitors are already there. That's what hiding is for: DigiFacts about your own site or project.
DigiFacts have tags for their topic, so the easiest way is to hide a tag. That also hides any DigiFacts given the tag in future:
<div data-digifacts data-exclude-tags="your-project"></div>Each DigiFact's tags are shown next to it on the proofreading pages - find the DigiFacts about your project to see its tag. If there isn't a tag for your project yet, ask for one. You can also hide a single DigiFact by its ID, like digifact-7ttm, which never changes (unlike its number, which can change when DigiFacts are removed): data-exclude="digifact-7ttm". The IDs are shown on the proofreading pages too, and every DigiFact in the JSON files has an id and tags. The WordPress plugin has the same options in its settings.
How they're made
The facts live in the digibyte-digifacts repository. Every hour, and whenever the facts change, a public GitHub Action checks them, fills in the live data and publishes this site. The block count comes from several block explorers (currently chainz.cryptoid.info, digibyte.io, digibyte.atomicwallet.io); the middle value is used, and if none of them answer, an estimate based on DigiByte's 15 second block time.
Links in DigiFacts are short links, like https://digifacts.diginode.tools/l/7ttm, so they fit in posts and on small displays. Clicks on them are counted with GoatCounter, with no cookies and no personal data, to see which DigiFacts people find most interesting - see the click stats.
