The app that I’m writing keeps track of when objects are captured. However, it is not an “always on” application, so when you start it again it does not know how long something has been held, unless it flips again while the app is running.

The obvious solution to this problem is to have a server which is always on keep track of this, and query that server for the last capture time. However, before I run off and try to set this up, I figured I should ask. Is there is public resource for doing this that I could be tapping into, instead of re-inventing the wheel?

It would be indeed helpful if the /wvw/objectives.json had a unix timestamp of the last time the objectives were flipped. I think that was requested a couple of times before.

I currently provide an API which does just what you ask. There are currently several people using it. It can e reached at http://gw2stats.net/api/objectives.json

For more information on that and other API requests I provide you can go to

Awesome, this is exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks!
