Guild Wars 2

Remfin.4892:

but at the end of the callback method I now know that the browser I’m talking to is that person, and I could (kind of) use it authenticate users into my website without having to have my own user/pass system.

That’s basically what the “Login with Google/Facebook/Twitter” button on many websites does.

Btw. for PHP users: https://code.google.com/p/simple-php-oauth/

class GuildWars2 extends SimpleOauth{
	protected $_prefix = 'guildwars2';
	protected $_authorize_url = 'https://account.guildwars2.com/oauth2/authorization';
	protected $_access_token_url = 'https://account.guildwars2.com/oauth2/token';
	protected $_scope = ['account', 'offline'];

	protected function authorize(array $scope = [], $scope_separator = '+', $attach = null){
		parent::authorize($scope, $scope_separator, '&response_type=code');
	}

	protected function requestAccessToken(
		$method = 'GET', 
		array $params = ['grant_type' => 'authorization_code'], 
		$returnType = 'json', 
		array $values = ['access_token', 'token_type', 'scope', 'refresh_token']
	){
		parent::requestAccessToken($method, $params, $returnType, $values);
	}

}

Having spent a bit of time watching how most streams for pvp events in GW2 look, I think there is room for ArenaNet to provide some data that would simplify greatly the streams, as well as provide them with real data to generate stats on and work with.

API layout.

It makes sense to layout the API under /v2/ with the rest of the new APIs (and get use of their oauth/new codebase.)

This Document attempts to describe both how it might work specifically and why to do it.

/v2/spvp # open rooms/matches
/v2/spvp/room/{$room_id} # Room information and link to the match in progress
/v2/spvp/match/{$match_id} # Match information
/v2/spvp/stats/{$character/account?} # Stats for an account/character

GET /v2/spvp

Attributes:

• search – Search for a room name
• limit – limit count to a number of results
• offset – start showing with the Nth result (use with limit to paginate)

No Request Body.

Response Example:

{
    "rooms": [
        { 
     	    "name": "Server 023",
            "room_uri": "http://api.guildwars2.com/v2/spvp/room/42",
            "match_uri": http://api.guildwars2.com/v2/spvp/match/47947"
        },
        { 
	    "name": "The Plunderdome",
            "room_uri": "http://api.guildwars2.com/v2/spvp/room/1004882",
            "match_uri": "http://api.guildwars2.com/v2/spvp/match/47948"
        }
    ]
}
