As suggested by some users, this is sort of a master list of all different implementations for the API (Could someone pin this so users that are new have direct access to the different implementations?)

I’ll try to keep this list up to date as frequently as possible. If you want me to add your project to the list, just post the following informations in a post below this.

  • Project Name
  • Implementation Language
  • Project Administrator
  • Url to the project

E.g.:
Gw2.NET

The Actual List:
Python Wrapper for Guild Wars 2 official API

GW2Kit for iOS & OS X

Gw2.NET

jGW2API

A Ruby Wrapper (:P)

Gw#

gw2 Ruby Gem

Gw2 PHP SDK

GW2 Drupal module

GW2API

Durmand Priory

GW2NodeLib

GW2 JS API Wrapper

jQuery GuildWars2 tooltip

python-guildwars2 – An OO guildwars2 library

PhpGw2Api

GuildWars2API

GW2API for ObjC

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.

Is the API really this limited?

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.

Is Javascript enough to use the API?

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

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.
