Guild Wars 2

How to know the date a character was created?

If you want to know the exact date, you can use the authenticated API:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API:2/characters

You can display this and a bunch more statistics and information about your account on gw2efficiency: https://gw2efficiency.com/

I don’t understand how to get it to work, since you can’t seem to link your GW2 game account with your GW2 Efficiency account.

1. Go to https://gw2efficiency.com/user/api-keys
2. Follow the directions toward the bottom to generate an API key.
3. Store the API key in the gw2efficiency.com application.

Hmm, GW2 Efficiency demands you to grant it all permissions available, otherwise it doesn’t work. Not sure I want them to have all that information…

Any alternatives to that website?

I think there’s a list in the API sub-forum.

Edit: Actually, it just links to the Wiki https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API:List_of_applications

Good luck.

It’s overkill of course only for displaying your character creation date, but together with gw2spidy, gwefficiency is probably the most valuable community-created website for GW2 that exists. It’s very useful and trustworthy. It’s difficult to explain why it is trustworthy, but it is.

That’s what I was thinking. Thanks.

Use the API directly:

https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/characters/NAME/?access_token=KEY

Where KEY is your API key and NAME is your character’s name.

Thank you, Healix!
