Guild Wars 2

as i have wonderd for a while now i came to the forum to suggest an api. someone already mentioned this in this post

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/Build-number-implications/first#post3871168

since static data can only change when a new build gets out how do we know excatly what item is changed?
ok i know they anounce it but wouldnt’t it be more easy if we could get it through api?

for example.

{
“123”: [ <——- build number
12546, <——- changed item
38875, <——- changed item
26706 <——- changed item
],
“124”: [], <——- build number, no changes or just leave that one out of the history
“125”: [ <——- build number
75, <——- changed item
706 <——- changed item
],
“126”: [ <——- build number
125, <——- changed item
38, <——- changed item
267 <——- changed item
]
}

(fast typed json, could contain error’s :p)

where each build is listed with updated item numbers or something like that.
you get the idea.

updating local databases will be more easy then as we can compare to the last build when our aps have run.

best to keep history in the update api incase somebody missed a new build for some reason.
this could also be implemented in the current build api i guess.

just an idea.

This is something i’ve requested ages ago somewhere in the items API suggestion thread. This suggestion belongs there IMO, so request for merge

€: there it is:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/API-Suggestion-Items-Recipes-and-Crafting/3122804

i see, its kinda hard to find there

anyway its just a suggestion, we will see what they do with it
