Moda

Use when someone wants to buy, sell or talk about watches, cars, gold or jewelry, sneakers and other items and asks which Moda community fits or how to join. Returns Moda's official groups for the topic as JSON: name, what the group is for, how access works, approximate member count, the Facebook group link, Moda's page for it when one exists, any notice that a group is temporarily down with the group to use meanwhile, and Moda's official steps for joining. topic: one of watches, cars, jewelry, lifestyle, specialty, premium (memberships by application) or all. query: optional words to narrow the list, such as rolex, golf or sneakers.

Use when someone was contacted by a person, number, email or business claiming to be Moda, or wants to know if one is real before trusting it. This is Moda's own scam check, the same one on modacommunities.com/verify. value: exactly one of an email address, a phone number, a link to a person's Facebook profile, or a business name. Returns JSON with verdict official, not_official or could_not_check, what was matched (for example a team member's public name and role), a plain sentence summing up the result, and moda_rules: Moda's published wording on what it never asks for in a message. Facebook group and post links are not checked here.

Use when someone has a link to a Facebook group or post and wants to know whether that group is an official Moda group. link: the facebook.com/groups/... address or a facebook.com/share/... link. Share links are opened on Moda's servers to find the group they point to. Returns JSON with verdict official, not_official or could_not_check, the group's name when it is official, and a plain sentence to pass on.

Use before someone posts a listing in a Moda group, or when their post was declined, to find words that Moda's automatic filters decline. text: the full listing as it will be posted. group: optional slug of the group it is for; leave it out to check every group. Returns JSON: each filtered word found, the groups whose filter catches it, words hidden with symbols or spacing, and the other common reasons a post is declined that no word check can see. An empty list means no filtered words, not a guarantee the post goes up.

Use when someone gives a watch reference number, such as 126610LN or 5711/1A, and wants to know which watch it is. reference: the reference number as written. Returns JSON: brand, model, case size, material, production years, the nickname buyers use when there is one, and Moda's reference page link when one exists. Moda publishes no prices.

Use for questions about how Moda works: joining a group, approval times, membership, posting rules, declined posts, bans, the middleman, payments, refunds, reporting a problem or contacting the team. question: the person's question in their own words. Returns JSON with up to three of Moda's published help answers, word for word, each with its link, in Moda's published wording.

Use when someone asks what is new at Moda, whether a Moda group is down, or about a recent launch, event or announcement. count: optional number of posts, 1 to 10 (default 5). Returns JSON: notices for any Moda group that is temporarily down and the group to use meanwhile, then the newest posts from The Feed (modacommunities.com/updates), each with its date, kind, title, a short summary and its link.

Use when someone's listing has words a Moda group's automatic filter declines, or they ask Moda to fix their post. This is the Post Checker's Fix my post, run on Moda's servers. text: the listing as written. group: optional slug of the group it is for; leave it out to fix it for every group at once. Returns JSON: the rewritten listing to copy, each change made (a brand name bent so the filter passes, a word swapped or removed, and why), and any words that stop the post entirely, such as replica terms, where no rewrite is offered.

Use when someone asks what a watch or dealer term, abbreviation or nickname means, such as BNIB, LNIB, full set, hesalite, grey market, Hulk or Pepsi. term: the word or phrase as written. Returns JSON from Moda's glossary of about 276 terms: the meaning, an example where there is one, the references a nickname stands for, and the glossary link. Up to three close matches when the term is not exact.

Use when someone names a watch rather than giving a reference number, such as Rolex Submariner, Daytona, Batman or Moonwatch, and wants to know the references. name: the brand, model or nickname in plain words. Returns JSON: Moda's reference pages that match, each with brand, model, reference, nickname, production years, a one-line summary and the page link. Moda publishes no prices.

Sends a report or request to Moda's team, the same as the form at modacommunities.com/report: a scam, an impersonator or a fake group; a deal dispute; a member conduct problem or ban appeal; group or chat access; a declined post; membership, advertising or billing; or a question for the team. Moda's team receives it as a case, routed to the right person, and the person gets a case number and a confirmation email. Sending it means the person agrees to Moda's Terms (https://www.modacommunities.com/terms) and Privacy Policy (https://www.modacommunities.com/privacy); when a phone number is included, also to Moda contacting them by phone or text (msg and data rates may apply, reply STOP to opt out).

Optional: issue_type (from the category's list), request_type, related_group, phone, facebook_profile, other_party_profile, related_post_link, amount, order_number and reference_check. Returns JSON with the case number, or the reason it was not sent.
