Goodmorning !

I’m here because i’m making a new project thanks to the Guild Wars 2 API (Python Wrapper) and the only thing missing in my project is that I would like to automatically modify a member’s guild permission. The problem is that I didnt find any function that could do that from the API.

I Thought about making a “bot” but it’s not allowed by ANet so… Do you have any solutions for me?

Thanks a lot !

EDIT : I thought about another solution… Is it possible to take control of my account by giving password and username and then modify the permission through the functions…?

At the moment, all of the APIs are read-only, an API that lets you change something like permissions is a pretty big change. Would be interesting, but unlikely to happen soon.

I believe its been stated that there will never be API’s that allow you to change stuff server side.

Pretty much this.

It’s mostly for technical reasons, TBH. The APIs really just aren’t designed to be able to write data — we’d have to do some rearchitecting to make it not set the world on fire (and there’s too many other more important things in the backlog to bother).

Thanks you all for replying, Lawton Campbell.
Is there any way to contact a web programmer from arenanet by mail to introduce my project and to help me to find à solution ? Thanks a lot

You can reach me at lawton@arena.net (or via forum PM), but I prefer communicating API stuff via the forums or on Github to reduce duplication (e.g., other people likely have the same questions/concerns). It’s easier when everything’s in the public.
