While they have provided a good service for the last few months, I don’t believe people should stop making their own apps/web sites just because mos started using the API.

and thank you!

I think quite frankly it’s not that EB has lost guilds, but more so that it is summer time.

Most of us have been playing WvW for 8 months straight. The weather is beautiful, people are on vacation; it’s time for a break.

Sure, losing two guilds hurts numbers-wise, but EB is resilient. We’ll be back up where we were before.

Just because you choose to correlate fiction with non-fiction does not mean others do.

You appear to be unable/unwilling to separate the two.

Wheeeeeeeee YB and Kain, married for life !

Gonna be lottas miscommunication with EB meaning Eternal Battlegrounds and Ehmry Bay. Calling them bay also confusion since it means the Keep at Bay. Maybe we call them :

(a) Baby ?
(b) Baywatch ?
© Elephants ?
(d) Ebay ?

How do you think we feel? We have to deal with it every day.

Map tiles service intermittently cutting out

This brings up a good point though. Cliff, how hard would it be to get an API status json that contained all if the API calls and their statuses?

API Changes with upcoming WvW changes?

in API Development

Posted by: Drakma.1549

Drakma.1549

you’ll have to do it yourself.

Which is currently near impossible, because the API data is not reflecting what is actually happening in game.

The API is still not returning when a BL point is neutralized/decayed back to neutral

[API Suggestion] Guilds

in API Development

Posted by: Drakma.1549

Drakma.1549

If you haven’t look at it yet, I highly suggest you look at how Eve Online does their guild API.

Each person is given 2 unique keys.

Key 1 is a read only key and gives very basic information on an account/character

Key 2 is a read/write key that allows an account to actually “do stuff”

With this system, the user can give out their Key 1 to whomever they wish to have access to their basic information. There is no requirement to give it out, but I am sure that large guilds can make it mandatory, etc.

Each key can be regenerated at any time allowing the user to effectively “cut off” access to their information.

A type of system like this + OAuth2 would be as secure as you can get it while allowing everybody involved to get the data they need.

It’s not extremely difficult to do. I’ve done it before with one of my applications. While not as big as GW2, it still has a fairly large user base.

That being said, I’ve submitted my application to Anet. I can start anytime.

I you like, you can check out my API available at gw2stats.net. Just click in the API Status link at the top then select API. You can get all the wvw data in one query.

API Limits?

There is currently no limit on calls. Although it is always best to cache your data to reduce stress on their API servers.

I suffered through all 46 minutes of it. All can say is, “wow”

I don’t even hear this much self-fellating on the ehmry forums.

Congratulations on your 46 minutes of “victory” with “even” numbers. You really “owned” us.

Can we start calling you “Bragmore Pass” now?

Why can’t I quit you Ehmry?

Because Anet doesn’t allow it.

API/Tile status monitor

Posted by: Drakma.1549

Drakma.1549

So, Cliff suggested it and I thought I’d give it a shot.

http://gw2stats.net/status/current

Shows the current status of the API. It provides some basic information on all of the APIs and the tile service.

http://gw2stats.net/status/api will show you how to integrate this data into your own programs.

I think the service is self-explanatory, but if there are any questions please feel free to contact me.

The services are polled every 15 seconds.

For informational sake, the host of gw2stats.net is located in New York City on a 1Gbps connection. It sits approximately 14 hops from the guildwars2 api servers (to the edge)
