Guild Wars 2

Hey there,

there is this very, very nice API someone posted a few days/weeks ago https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/List-of-apps-websites-using-the-API/page/3#post4298516

I want to make a suggestion to further improve this brilliant app, although I have no experience at all in such things and I also have no idea if it’s possible at all. So: is it possible to extract the info which event is currently running on the current mageserver map I am currently active on?

For example: I go to Malchor’s Leap and start harvesting wood. The API in the background permanently checks for quests on the current magaserver map and creates an up-to-date list of currently active events. There used to be this homepage once where you could see (back then with “real” servers) which events are currently active (€dit: found 2 of those…not active anymore ofc: http://gw2.thelazy.net/events.html or http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1f3nhx/tool_gw2state_realtime_event_maps_templesbosses/). Is it possible to implement an own point for such currently active quests? That’d be an IMMENSE improvement of that API.

Thanks anyway for all your efforts, API builders

sadly, the events api is currently pretty much dead because of the megaserver.
if they ever decide to release the v2 apis with oAuth2 involved, I would think that the might make it possible that you can login and get information about where your character currently is.

Hey there! Author of the tool here…

Before the megaserver update, I actually did have an implementation making use of the events API that would show a list of the events in the current zone. As Ayson already state, that API has been broken due to the megaserver update, so it’s not possible to do that anymore.
