once we get a good objective_names.json file
I know, it’s not official, but it’s all you need – i believe, objectives are the least thing which will change

Ok, i just wanted to adjust the width of the forum, because i’m sick of having 50% space wasted on my 1920 screen, but i ended up in a whole “redesign”. I’d like to share it with you, you just need a browser plug which can handle user stylesheets. Have fun

/*
* Fluid Layout CSS Hack for the official Guild Wars 2 Forums
*
*
* This stylesheet will override the forums default style and set it to a fluid full width layout
* with increased font sizes for better readability at high resolutions.
* It will also fix a few quirks like the unusable language links on the top and margins around smileys,
* adds a monospace font and background for <pre> tags, increases the size of editor textareas and hides the e-mail address in the forums overall header.
* (if you ever happen to make screenshots on the forums)
*
* intended for use with tools like:
*
* Stylebot (developed and tested with that)
* https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylebot/oiaejidbmkiecgbjeifoejpgmdaleoha
*
* Stylish for Firefox (a few things somehow don't work, like min-height for posts)
* https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/stylish/
*
* ...or any other browser plug-in which lets you add user defined styles.
*
* If you have suggestions or encounter problems with this stylesheet, just drop me a line on the gw2 forums
* or just leave a comment right here on GitHub. (just don't ask me how to install this!)

You will know, however, if an app is requesting access to your credentials before you even allow it since you’ll get a page like this: http://i.imgur.com/E9XKVy3.png which actually sits on ANet’s servers.
After the login screen you’ll get a screen which will be similar like the following (similar as in: the wording will be clarified). Note the URL, the login and the authorization will always happen on Anet’s servers.

I don’t think it’s too hard to calculate that
Progress is reset each day at midnight, 00:00 UTC (02:00 UTC+2).

the great thing about his stuff was that you can add it to a HTML block in guild sites/server pages. A little widget with the current matchup score.
you can’t really do any php with a guild host layout.
That wouldn’t be much of the problem i think – lets see what i can do for you
I still wonder why (a very few) people still demand XML as data format. Ok, i can understand that it might be easier to parse in certain languages but i can’t see an advantage over JSON in the case of the GW2 API (and many more…). Don’t get me wrong, but personally i’d kill XML with fire – along with excel. Any decent language has possibilities to parse JSON easily (either native or as library) and also i heard that SQL databases are pretty handy when it comes to statistics. So when you’re working with MS-Office, you should at least favor Access over Excel.
Also for the notes – just for example:

Just use the proposed “fix”, google:
site:https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/[DESIRED_SUBFORUM] search term (the site: is important here)
I use it all the time in case i search stuff and it works better than this forum’s search has ever worked (and probably will if it ever gets fixed). Live with it
(edited by smiley.1438)
This is the wrong subforum – we’re just talking about the REST API service here
However, GW2 doesn’t support any addons. In addition, that what you’re asking for is currently not possible via the API.
You can also use http://gw2wbot.darthmaim.de/smiley/ and https://gw2treasures.com/ to reverse lookup IDs and chatcodes (well, as long as the items are / or were at one point in the API )

A more paranoid person would say it’s a conspiracy to sell bank space!
Personally, I’d find it more believable if it were a conspiracy to sell character slots.
Yup, exactly that. Thick leather was invented to sell bank tabs…

Not to speak of the overhead XML has compared to JSON.
I’ve added the spanish translations and a .json to my gist:
https://gist.github.com/codemasher/bac2b4f87e7af128087e
re the map names: i’ve kept them short since they’re for internal use only, you’ll need to add translation anyway if you want to use them out of the DB – i didn’t want to add 3 more columns for just 4 different words

I’m sure you’ll get below 30 min, RollingCurl is da bomb!
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.

Hey,
i’ve created some SQL tables for the static data in order to cache results and reduce API requests like Cliff recommended over here. Currently i have tables for events, maps, worlds and WvW objectives, recipes and items are still WIP since these are huge databases :o
- Events: https://gist.github.com/codemasher/b0abd0f0a7a3781c6907
- Maps (+.json): https://gist.github.com/codemasher/dc3b232b3ccd2609a43b
- Worlds (+.json): https://gist.github.com/codemasher/b3b26a77dd0681697c59
- WvW-Objectives (+.json): https://gist.github.com/codemasher/bac2b4f87e7af128087e
Let me know if you need this in a different format, e.g. XML, CSV or even Excel…
Happy coding!

All good!

Items are added as soon they are discovered and like other APIs, items.json is updated in realtime, so you may want to check this frequently. However, renaming of items (especially translations) or other changes to them only happen during patches. A list of changed items during an update has been requested more than once, hope this is going to happen soon
Each entry in my case contains the item ID, name, type, rarity and level.
In the UI the user selects a type filter and level/rarity if they desire, then the app queries the database for all matching, puts their names into a dynamic list and holds on to only the item_id.
What about storing the JSON in your database too, so you don’t need to request the api to get the data (and keep in mind that you need to request the api 4 times for an item if you need all languages…)
have a look at this:
