Guild Wars 2

might be named festivals according to the (at least currently for SAB) responding achievements tab. (or rather festive?)

information i’d like to get:
in general:

• what festivals are there all together
• which festivals are live

with given festival:

• when it starts/stops
• what components are there for players to participate in
• what kind of gametype it is apparent in
• under which restrictions (level, HoT-access?)

example of response:

https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/festivals:
array of festivals

{
	{ 
		"id": 1337, // e.g. SAB 2017
		"live": true
	},
	{
		"id": 2512, // e.g. Wintersday 2016
		"live": false
	}
}

https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/festivals/$key_or_id:
detailed information on given festival

{
	"id": 1337,
	"name": "Super Adventure Festival 2017"
	"duration":
	{
		"date_from": "2017/03/30",
		"date_until": "2017/04/20"
	}
	"components": [
		{
			"mode": "general",
			"description": "Buy exklusive gemstore stuff from Moto!"
			"level":
			{
				"min": 1,
				"max": 80
			}
		},
		{
			"mode": "pve",
			"description": "Visit Rata Sum to try out the Super Adventure Box"
			"level":
			{
				"min": 1,
				"max": 80
			}
		},
	]
}

what do you think?
currently i dislike the idea that i’d have to parse the wiki for some user-written update content.

thank you for your time!

@Lawton, wow that’s an interesting fact. It’s nice to know they keep improving the game systems behind the scenes.
