The item_details API lists the game_types that an item can be used in. I assume that this game_type is a map-level property, and while it’s relatively obvious for most maps, I think it would still be useful to have this as a return value within maps.json and map_details.json. It could even be added as a possible query value, allowing applications to restrict the return data to a certain game type instead of having to parse through all maps for all game types.

I looked at this briefly today and saw that it unfortunately isn’t a trivial thing to do. But you are basically correct, we could provide the ‘game_type’ value (possibly an array) in maps. I’ll put this on my todo list, but will probably later rather than sooner.

Alright, thanks. I’m a back-end programmer myself, so believe me when I say I understand where you’re coming from with the “not a trivial thing” response. We use it all the time. And the client never believes it! Pfah!
