How does ADAPools get all the info on a POOL that is shown

[RShad876]

Hi All
When a Pool is registered on Mainnet will it automatically appear in https://adapools.org/ or does the stake pool operator need to create an account and enter all the information (or some needs to be entered manually while some is automatically populated based on Pool ID)?
Much appreciate any guidance.
Kind Regards

When you create an account with Adapools and claim the pool (prove you are the owner by clicking on claim link on pool page), you will be able to add other data through their management interface.

Also there you can add other data lice icon, socials etc through the extended field in the medatafile which adapools will process.

See explanation here:

Yoroi pool icon

As @Alexd1985 mentioned it’s related to extended data. As Yoroi uses results from Adapools the extended data is the following: https://a.adapools.org/extended-example You don’t need to include everything, buy you can specify values you are interested in. Implementation is described in the first line of that document: …in other words, in your pool meta-data document you add an extended json field that points to the document with extended data. Example: [adapools-extended-example]
