Guild Wars 2

Hello community,

i just read up on the GuildWars 2 API in the Wiki, and it looks like that it gives mostly stuff to create interactive maps such as http://gw2timer.com/, and no character-related info. For instance, i would like to get current coordinates of my in-game character, or at least the map name it is in.

I guess that such functionalities would require to introduce a sort of authentification API, and they didn’t bother themselves with it..

There is an API to get your characters position data and some more info, just not json based:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/Gw2-Location-Tracker/first#post2379754

seems unusable for the Overwolf contest though, as Overwolf apps run in JavaScript VM without access to OS IPC capabilities…

You will (still) need a 3rd party app to get the location data from GW2 and a server to collect and process the data – have a look at our location tracker.

I still hope we get this in near future via Overwolf, see also:

So i was working on this for now…

That’s custom made Overwolf plugin that does pretty much exactly what i was looking for.

You can use this plugin I made, it’s probably going to get merged in Overwolf soon tho.

That is, if you want something tested by others as well :P
