Hey,

I have tested the files API (https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/files.json).
There are13 files only! :O

Something is missing… “Event indicators” (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Events)

Can you add the icons? It would make sense to connect these icons to the events API (https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/events.json) to show events with the correct icon.

Dr Ishmael.9685:

That would indeed be useful.

Add all the possible event icons to files.json: “event_boss”:{"file_id":X,“signature”:"X"}

Then add a field to event_names.json to identify which icon an event uses: {"id":“5FE0AE58-2C78-4E44-9386-FDFE8B8C6767”,“name”:“Defeat Wiggin the Wicked.”,“icon”:"event_boss"}

I suggest event_names.json instead of events.json because, like the event name, it’s something that only needs to be retrieved once, instead of being retrieved every time you check event statuses (which some apps do every 15 seconds).

Or just in event_details to keep event_names clean.

Feel free to make a suggestion thread for files you want to see in that API. The initial set is just a relatively random set that I picked as a proof of concept.

I’ve already created one ^.^

Durr, forgot about event_details. That’s obviously the best location.
