Guild Wars 2

I’ve created a website using the API that lets you know when your preferred event is going to start. It plays a sound and shows an alert when the events you selected are in “Warmup” state. Feedback is always welcome and I hope this tool is found to be useful!

GW2 Meta Event notifier

If in some way I broke the terms of use, please let me know and I will take the website down immediately.

This is great! But i find it a bit annoying that i get notifications about the same event every time it updates. I know i just have to untick the checkbox, but i’d like to just have it in the background, and only touch it when i get a notification. And the Fire Elemental and Frozen Maw are missing. Adding those would make it more useful for me, as they’re the ones i do the most! But other than that it’s very useful! Thank you!

I have added the Fire elemental. For some reason, the Maw seems to be missing from the list (?), so I can’t add it yet, sorry!

Thanks!

Someone posted a list of the chest events with the codes, on Reddit! The Maw Pre-event is list on it: maw pre: D5F31E0B-E0E3-42E3-87EC-337B3037F437 The Reddit post is: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1epqkf/anet_released_public_apis_and_nobody_told_me_d/

Thank you for taking time to create this tool! You’ve made my life a heck of a lot easier

Thank you for giving me the code to the maw pre-event. And you’re absolutely welcome!

Great app, thanks! :p

Could you maybe make it so each world has a perma link? So we can set a favorite? Would be awesome.

Just as a comment you should change your web page design to download the data from api in one thread, probably as a script running on a server. Users should have access to info that the script already downloaded. It will be faster because you can increase the periodicity of reading the data from api and you can minimize the amount of data downloaded by each session(by just exposing the data about events users are interested). This way you minimize traffic to arenanet api and minimize the users traffic, but it will increase traffic on your server. But overall it still would be much better if everybody follow that pattern.
