I reverse engineered mcdonald's internal ordering api and I'm currently placing an order for a mc sundae every minute at every mcdonald's location in the US to figure out which ones have a broken ice cream machine

Lmao so this actually works - I spent an evening biking around every mcdonald's location in berlin and each time the status of the machine matched up with the result i got back from the api

@rashiq That is actually really impressive from the McDonald's infrastructure team. I wonder how they make sure the API is accurate...

@rashiq So, evidently, it works outside of the US. Would you consider adding worldwide locations to the map?

@rashiq I laughed so hard from this!

@rashiq @ehn I would love to see results in Costa Rica's McDonald's. We have over 52 restaurants.

@rashiq Hello. On mcbroken.com, my local McDonald's location says the "Status could not be determined". Is there a way to let you know through mcbroken.com, if the ice cream machine at my local McDonald's location, is working or not? Based on what those McDonald's employees tell me, of course.
