Just Wondering if a Checker Could Be Created For: GC4RMW5 Queensland's "Oldest and Finest" Challenge? - Thanks!

Question

GC4RMW5 - Queensland's "Oldest and Finest" Challenge

 

There is a public bookmark of 100 caches on the challenge page and 50 are needed to qualify.

 

http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=217925c4-e681-492b-8c28-1759a42d4658

 

Is there any chance a checker could be created?

 

Many thanks!!

Answer 1

I found an existing script that took the parameters:

• Bookmark list guid
• Number of finds required
• Count hidden
• Name of bookmark list

From this I created the checker http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4RMW5/862 . Please verify it as well as you can, I ran it on one of the names who has logged the challenge, and it looked good at first sight.

PS! Adding tags like I did here is something that anyone can do. But it requires some understanding to the system, and I do not say that it is easy for everyone. But technically, anyone can do it.

Checkers can read bookmark lists? I'd missed that.

You're not the only one - its news to me as well!

Implemented July 2013, http://forum.project-gc.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5
It has actually been in API the documentation since then as well.
Be aware of that there is caching implemented. So if you add new geocaches to a bookmark list, it might take an hour until you see them in the sandbox.
