PHP is easy to learn, very well documented and doesn’t require any compiling and stuff – just a local webserver (e.g. XAMPP) and web browser or the command line

Perhaps the machine you are querying from doesn’t have some standard root certificates installed. Ensure the GeoTrust Global CA cert in installed on your machine.

You may also want to check out the list of API Wrappers and dig through some code to see how others handled this problem

Since most people tend to use a TL;DR version i think it’s totally ok in this case. If one wishes to see a further explaination, he could just hop over to the linked forum thread.
The french one seems indeed a bit weird – at least inconsistent to the others. So in french would be possibly “Cercle de feu” → “Territoires frontaliers (Cercle de feu)”. Since these names apparently are taken directly from the game (including bugs) i guess theres some string replacement done here. Further explaination by a dev would be appreciated
Have you tried checking it with our Location Tracker? I haven’t yet, but it might give you a glimpse if you have an error in your code or the coordinates for the waypoint are somehow wrong in the API (i doubt the latter). You can also check out the code of our tool which is written in C/C++ over here: https://gw2apicpp.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest
Oh btw. it would be great if your TS plugin would also feature sending the location data to a specified server too

Hey Stefan,
thanks for the update. My guess is that those items haven’t been discovered but were added with some content updates. (e.g. the Mr Funkel minipet – i don’t think it had to be discovered – also it had a correct name before – we track item renaming → http://gw2wbot.darthmaim.de/rss/renamedItems/ )

Hey Stefan,
thanks for the heads-up. I ran the script again which checked for missing items (http://gw2.chillerlan.net/missing_items.html) and it seems they’re all back again. Thanks!
Oh, while i’m at it: there are still several items with a name like ((ITEM_NAME))

A simple “workaround” which i use in such cases is just to do a double post containing the message “pagination fix” along with link to one of these threads where this bug is reported… You’re welcome

Oh..lol…well, I wouldn’t have any idea how to do that. Thanks for the info, though.
Do what? Disable JavaScript? Oh, thats not that hard and actually useful to improve overall browsing security
For Chrome: ScriptSafe
For Firefox: NoScript
combined with an adblocker like AdBlock Plus you’re pretty safe against the most common threats from the web. (and you may discover things you’ve not seen before)
(Sorry for thread highjacking)
Oh, i see, i just checked on minimum zoom and Kessex didn’t look if it has been changed at all.
The script is just intended as a simple (and hopefully understandable) example which could basically ported to any other language

Brain-melting, eh?

So, how would you make data available which you can only see when you’re logged to your account? Right, via OAuth.
This might give you a glimpse of how it would work (if you’re unfamiliar with OAuth): http://collaboradev.com/2011/04/01/twitter-oauth-php-tutorial/

I just mentioned it because you were asking for C++ and VB examples – and since they’re all kind of C derivates it’s sometimes helpful to look beyond the Tellerrand to gather ideas
Oh, a moderator may be so kind and split this topic if possible. Thanks.
Yep it’s the result. And yes, PHP is a C derivate
(so you might want to check out PHP and maybe JavaScript (also C derivate, not Java) examples for ideas, too)
There you are, have fun
http://gw2.chillerlan.net/missing_items.html
For me it’s as easy as:
$q = sql_query('SELECT * FROM `gw2_items`');
$count = count($q);
if(is_array($q) && $count > 0){
$data = gw2_api_request('items.json');
if(is_array($data) && isset($data['items'])){
foreach($q as $item){
if(!in_array($item['id'], $data['items'])){
//yada yada yada
}
}
}
}
Sure, it could be quite more effective, but it serves the point.

Yes, please! Or even better: create a stickied (non discussion) FAQ thread where we could qoute or link important information.
Along with these qoutes from Cliff:
caching:
Yes, please cache the results!
The names are guaranteed to be static between game patches/builds, but it’s possible for the list to grow between patches. The Events API, like the Item API, only shows events and maps that have been discovered by players.
So the ‘perfect’ logic would be to cache the results, and only do a lookup after a patch or if you don’t have a cached result for a particular event ID. And you probably don’t really need to do it between patches, as event names will rarely if ever change after being created.
item discovery:
If any player in the world participates in an event, then it is considered discovered.
If any player in the world acquires an item, then it is considered discovered.How quickly an item or event is discovered depends on how well-hidden it is in the world. It’s possible that an event or item might never be discovered.
Edit: To clarify, once something is discovered on any world, it is considered discovered on all worlds.
