Guangcong Luo a9c6e7b965 Make the source of replay pages more readable

Yes this is literally just to make it so "View source" gives you a very
readable log and inputlog, just like in the old days.

Pokémon Showdown website APIs

Most PS APIs that you would want to access programmatically are available by adding .json to the URL.

They all have Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, so you can access them directly using AJAX.

Replays

Getting a replay:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8doublesubers-1097585496.json

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8doublesubers-1097585496.log

Getting a replay inputlog directly (only for formats where the team is autogenerated):

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8randombattle-2005209836.inputlog

Replay logs and inputlogs are also available in the JSON, so the .log and .inputlog forms are provided only for convenience.

Also for convenience: scrolling down in the source code for the replay page. Obviously don't scrape it, but ctrl+u is way faster than futzing with URLs if you just wanted to take a look at it.

Replay search

List recent replays:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/search.json

Search by user:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/search.json?user=zarel

Search by multiple users:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/search.json?user=zarel&user2=yuyuko

Search by format:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/search.json?format=gen8ou

Combined searching:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/search.json?user=zarel&user2=yuyuko&format=gen7randombattle

Paginate searches:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/search.json?user=zarel&before=1372221987

Searches are limited to 51 results, and pages are offset by 50 each, so the existence of a 51st result means that there's at least one more page available. For the timestamp, use the uploadtime of the last replay in the list.

You can also use page=[number], but this is an older API that is poorly supported and should not be relied upon.
