It uses “desktop notification” so you know when a world boss is active without keeping an eye to the site, with the conditions that you use a Webkit (Chrome or Safari) browser and don’t play fullscreen.

Feedbacks are welcomed.

Ok, Angular is a tough beast to tame (pressing F is not enough). I just deployed a new version which should be actually useful (to me at least).

Added:

• Auto refresh, you can choose the time interval.
• Dragon events states (more to come as it is really easy to add them, I’m just lazy right now).
• Desktop notifications of active dragon events, the actual useful feature, for Webkit browsers (Chrome and Safari).
• A better look with twitter bootstrap, but still need more work.

And now I’m gonna test it while doing my daily ^^

Edit: notifications are not working <o>
Edit: should be fixed

I’m talking about the API in general, with wvw matches and even worlds sometime missing. I suppose there is some behind the scene work going on right now.

A have a lot of erratic returns with missing lines since the last hour or so.

Sure, a 4xx is expected because it is client side error, and 400 fits with the error description “invalid match_id”, no objection.

Or maybe 418 is better… dunno.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing this evolve. If you’re interested in collaborating with other API developers in the future, I’ve got an effort going here:

Thanks for the interest. I’m not sure if I want to invest me more than this hack and what I plan to do with it (so much things to do, so little time… and I haven’t done my daily yet <o>) but thanks for the proposition Now that being said, everything I’ll do on it will stay open source.

Now selecting a world change the uri and can be bookmarked.
For example #/world/2002 for Desolation.

I was implying that the stackoverflow thread (especially the most voted answer) convince me that 404 is appropriate even with the id part in a querystring. But ultimately it’s an API design choice.

(I’m used to the /stuff/id pattern so ?xxx_id=123 feels a little weird to me ^^)

404 seems a good choice to me, but it made me wonder if this is more relevant to an URI without a querystring (something like https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/wvw/match_details/1.json )

Seems not, as it is discussed here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3821663/querystring-in-rest-resource-url

Also I found this site which discuss REST API creation and different status codes. Can be useful.

Wouhou! First on an AngularJS version. I’m not an expert yet with it but it’s pretty cool stuff, especially when dealing with REST APIs.

It’s just a simple example. Select a world, see its WvW “match” scores and opposants in an ugly UI. It’s full client side, with one html and one js files.

Demo here: http://gw2api-angularjs.herokuapp.com/
Code here: https://gist.github.com/AlSquire/5624137 (feel free to copy, reuse…)

I’m planning to:

• Allow a world_id param in the url so the page can be refreshed and bookmarked.
• Add events and their states for the selected world, maybe not all but the major ones, or let the user do its own selection.
• Add WvW objectives.
• Try to style it a little, responsive design FTW here.
• Add some cache, I don’t want to add more lag to Claw ^^
