Perhaps it could default to all permissions checked since we can’t pass a parameter of the permissions we require (ideal).
NO! NO! Never ever do that! The less restrictions are accessible by default, the better. A user should have to grant permissions, not revoke them.
Api is still beta and in development, so you can expect to get more features as time goes on. However there won’t be any function in the api that is also in the game.
What you can do with the current API?
Well more accurate and tamper proof dragon-timers, you could also get an Item by it’s name and then query the recipes api to get all recipes which use that particular item.
There are already many possibilities, they just require the developers to work a bit.
The api returns a json object which can be read and used by JavaScript.
Samples have been provided in some of the above posts.
@Ice of Dragons: Java script has nothing to do with Java except that one part of the name. It is is totally different Programming language.
Furthermore the back-end part of the API is probably written in one of ASP.NETs programming languages as the backend server is an IIS with version 7.5
updated the list again. Sorry no grouping just yet will do that tomorrow or the next time I update it. This board software is a pain in the kitten to work with. Sorry Anet bad choice, very bad choice.
Hopefully the api does not get as inflated as the WoW api. GW2 does not need that. The interface is fine as it is, no need for Raid frames, damage meters, Heal bots, etc. The game surely does not need that.
