API Maintenance
Cliff Spradlin.3512:
Hi,
We’re going to be doing some maintenance on the API servers tomorrow morning as part of deploying a game update. The maintenance period is on 6/11/2013 between 8AM-12PM PDT.
Some of the APIs (particularly the events API) will be unavailable at times during the maintenance period.
After the maintenance is complete, there will be a new state returned by the events API, “inactive”, that will be documented further tomorrow.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
Cliff Spradlin.3512:
This maintenance is complete, and the Akitten hould be stable now.

And we all like stable kittens :P

Is the API currently experiencing issues? I’m getting data inconsistencies with the WvW data.
And as I type this there is no longer any EU information in matches.json
Drakma.1549:
Duur… I forgot what today was. However, I don’t see why the EU reset should cause issues with NA api calls. However, it is.
Varonth.5830:
NA api calls? Since when does the API distinguish between NA and EU?
Especially matches, which does even take a lang parameter.
matches.json returns the current running matches. EU is getting new matches, so matches.json will not report any EU matches as there aren’t any.
Drakma.1549:
I’m aware of what it returns. However, when the EU was resetting, even NA matches were not being presented via the API.

You’re very observant. This is a known bug (well, known to me
) in the WvW API. If either of the two regions’ matches end, both regions become unavailable for a short period of time.
It’d be pretty difficult to fix this given the current infrastructure of the game. I think the current implementation of the API is a reasonable compromise.
