Guild Wars 2

I have been trying to get the WP / landmark data from mists which I believe is continent 2, floor 1.

However, if I enter…

https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/map_floor.json?continent_id=2&floor=1

I also get all other floor data for points_of_interest. Is this correct or should it just return the floor I requested?

This is just fine, the floordata returns everything (well, not everything yet) what can be found on the specified floor – when you look for the data on a specific map, you’ll need to dig through the floors you find in https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/continents.json

My whole point of asking is, if it returns ALL floors, why do we need to specify “floor=X”?

Floor 1 has basically all floor data so that you can build a full world map i guess.

Thanks for the response Cliff, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to display WPs in WvW or PvP. ;( They just refuse to show. I’m sure it’s something I’m doing as I make a call to test and the names come up correctly. Oh well, a bit more delving to do…

Why not have a look at existing code? I don’t know what language you’re coding in, but a Javascript example might serve for an idea:

Thanks, I’ll take a look at that as it’s JS I’m using. I’ve been working from the basic example that Cliff linked us.
