Guild Wars 2

Any chance on an API, or info on how we can pull that data from the leaderboards? Be nice thing to add to our guild website, considering you can see who’s online and active.

I doubt this would happen. (would be nice though) It would make it possible to grep total active player counts, server populations, etc. and I can see A.net not wanting that info available.

You’d have to wait for the Extended Experience update, which will focus on everything GW2 outside of the game. Next to WvW map updates, gear armory, plans are to include an API to pull data from their servers specifically for fansites to use. Mobile device support will also be available.

You can figure all that info out just looking at the leaderboards now. You can also just yank the data right off the page too i suppose, it would work ok, just no the best way to do it. I’m only looking for our guilds roster data anyway, last earned achievement point says way more about player activity than the roster does.

Has anyone made anything like this yet?

You might have better luck over in the API forum
