Hey, I’ve been toying with the Events API a bit today (wip found here ), and there are some things I feel should really be there.

First of all, in the event list, I’d love to see flags for events. Especially group events and skill challenges should be marked. Something like “flags”:“G”, “flags”:“S”, “flags”:“G,S” for example. Other possible flags could maybe be for pre-events and events giving chests?

I’d also (as many other threads mention) like to see a timestamp for last status change

Last (for now), I’d like to see an event_details api, that could list some more information about an event. More text, maybe a general location. And for example for active events, it could list the event progress and goal name(s).

I know this is more of a workaround and a little bit more meta date about the events would be fine, but all skill challenges benign with "Skill Challenge: ". You could do a regex for that string and filter skill challenges with that.

Still: Upvote for more metadata for events

Not all have that, I’m afraid.

“Defeat Franklin Quickblade and his band of rogues” for example.

I just noticed that my “events dot html” link got helpfully converted to “eventkittenml” . impressed
