API Build id
Kurotsuki.5364:
Hello,
First I wanna say that this API is really kewl and I’m working on a project using the API. I’m currently working on a solution to retrieve the items I need without making too many calls, and I was wondering about the build id in the API. The wiki doesn’t say a lot about it.
Does that build id only changes when there is a new update to the game or it changes on other occasions too? Since my app will be keeping some info from the API so I don’t make to many requests to it, I was wondering if the build id could be used as a flag that the info saved from the API needs to be updated when the id number changes?
Thank you

The build id only goes up when there’s a new patch available to download.
+1 to using it as a flag to expire any caches of /v2/items etc that you’ve got locally. That’s the ideal implementation, I think.
