Hi,

We’re going to be doing some maintenance on the API servers tomorrow morning as part of deploying a game update. The maintenance period is on 6/11/2013 between 8AM-12PM PDT.

Some of the APIs (particularly the events API) will be unavailable at times during the maintenance period.

After the maintenance is complete, there will be a new state returned by the events API, “inactive”, that will be documented further tomorrow.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Is the API currently experiencing issues? I’m getting data inconsistencies with the WvW data.

And as I type this there is no longer any EU information in matches.json

Duur… I forgot what today was. However, I don’t see why the EU reset should cause issues with NA api calls. However, it is.

NA api calls? Since when does the API distinguish between NA and EU?
Especially matches, which does even take a lang parameter.

matches.json returns the current running matches. EU is getting new matches, so matches.json will not report any EU matches as there aren’t any.

I’m aware of what it returns. However, when the EU was resetting, even NA matches were not being presented via the API.

You’re very observant. This is a known bug (well, known to me ) in the WvW API. If either of the two regions’ matches end, both regions become unavailable for a short period of time.

It’d be pretty difficult to fix this given the current infrastructure of the game. I think the current implementation of the API is a reasonable compromise.
