The API endpoint for gem conversions is currently the opposite of the functionality in-game. On the API, you specify the amount of gems you want to convert to coins, but in-game you specify the amount of gold you want and it tells you how many gems you need to convert.
Unfortunately, I can’t figure out a way to get the conversion information the game offers without polling the API multiple times to get an amount by trial and error.
Is there 1) any way to easily poll the API to get the required information or 2) any chance we could have this implemented as an endpoint?
There has to be a solution, given that the game itself performs this function near instantly anyway.
No news on this at all? I’m kinda sad that this is one of the only posts here with no developer response.

There’s an open issue but the implementation has some unfortunate technical blockers.
EDIT: I probably should have linked the issue here after I made it, whoops.
