Guild Wars 2

“An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.” Over quota or something?

I’m really sorry for how this thread went… This is was totally not what I wanted to achieve.

Some moderator, please close this thread…

… that might be a sign of less interest in the API or of a big thing to come some time soon (oauth2?).

What do you think? I’m personally hoping for the second option… :-)

Hey Drama,

Check out my Android app ‘Guild Wars 2 API Explorer. I’d love to add a gw2stats.net Akitten ection. And I’d also be interested in helping out with the API :-)

Please contact me via PN or email: <my nickname>@googlemail.com

A read-only API would be perfectly fine I think… It would enable viewing of current status, notifications, etc…

btw, if anyone is interested in the image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t7gos5yg4y3n5qg/gw2-map-150dpi-120x120.jpg

I was using a JPG with the exact maps API world coordinates pixels, something about 32***x32***, too.
But before submitting it to posterxxl.de for printing, I scaled it to 150dpi for 120×120 (which were something like 7***x7***).
Quality looks really good.

Hey everyone,

this was possible thanks to the recently released maps API

Hey everyone,

sorry for not updating the list so long but it seems that I cannot edit the post any more since it has become too long. I have sent a PM to Terrasque.8735 since he owns the first response and it would be cool if we could continue the list in this response.

One more reserved post if the list becomes very large

Android Apps:

• GuildWars 2 API Explorer - http://paradise-android.oneskyapp.com/?group=3121 - fr,es,it + anything else you want to add

Hey everyone,

I thought that this would be a good place to request for translations of the existing API apps/websites.

Like my main thread with a list of Apps and websites (the sticky one) I’ll keep this one updated as well.

Let’s agree to a format:
[App name] – [Link to translation service] – [Requested translations e.g. “de,fr,it,es”]

Got it working by doing some percentage calulcations to calculate the continent coordinates from the map coordinates:
https://github.com/Goddchen/GuildWars2-API-Explorer/blob/master/GuildWars2APIExplorer/src/main/java/de/goddchen/android/gw2/api/fragments/ContinentFragment.java#L132

Hey everyone,

I’m kind of confused by the event details API’s center coordinates.

For example I get:

“center”:
[-9463.6,
-40310.2,
-785.799]

But the continent itself only has a dimension of 32768×32768 pixels.

Doesn’t make much sense to me

Could someone please explain those coordinates?

Hey everyone,

I am using osmdroid to display the maps on Android. Displaying the maps works just fine (awesome!)

But I’m having issues with the POIs. osmdroid takes lat/lng coordinates to place markers on the map. But I’m unable to convert the xy coordinates of the POIs to lat/lng coordinates.

Can anyone give me a hint on this one?

See also my post on StackOverflow on this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17239346/osmdroid-coordinate-conversion-for-markers

Rurik, you might want to check out some of my source code on how to access the API from Android: https://github.com/Goddchen/GuildWars2-API-Explorer/blob/master/GuildWars2APIExplorer/src/main/java/de/goddchen/android/gw2/api/async/MapNamesLoader.java

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to to edit the post with the latest links but whenever I submit the edited post, it fails…

Will try again asap…

HttpsURLConnection seems to be able to handle the HTTPS connection just fine without any further config.

precalculated RGB values: thanks you so much Cliff

Awesome, thanks so much.

A working Java implementation can be seen in my GitHub project:
https://github.com/Goddchen/GuildWars2-API-Explorer/blob/master/GuildWars2APIExplorer/src/main/java/de/goddchen/android/gw2/api/data/Color.java

as soon as anyone can generate a real rgb color from the API data, some sample code would really be appreciated. I can calculate how much I want, with an API “hue” value of 20, I never get even near a value of ~60 to generate a yellow color

okay, with these two, now you totally got me confused. It is black and white, with the exact same values?

{"name":“White”,
“default”:{
“brightness”:“128”,
“contrast”:“128”,
“hue”:“0”,
“saturation”:“128”,
“lightness”:"128"}

{"name":“Black”,
default":{
“brightness”:“128”,
“contrast”:“128”,
“hue”:“0”,
“saturation”:“128”,
“lightness”:"128"}

could you please explain how to get to rgb #000 from these values? It think this is the easiest example that we can find:

“name”: “Black”,
“default”: {
“brightness”: “128”,
“contrast”: “128”,
“hue”: “0”,
“saturation”: “128”,
“lightness”: “128”
},

I tried for several hours now but I’m unable to generate a RGB color value from the API data in Java

Drakma.1549:

Please update the gw2stats to read gw2stats.net please.

Done

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

This is awesome! Thanks, Goddchen, for your initiative in starting that list.

Would it be possible to include who the admin(s)/creator(s) are for each particular app/site (if known)? Would be great to give the creators credit for what they make.

Good point, will add those info as it is available

Hey everyone,

I think it would be a good idea to collect all websites/apps/programs that make use of the API.

I’ll start with my own Android app and add everything to the list from your responses!
