Suggestion: LFG API
voidvector.2780:
I would like to suggest a potential LFG API. The reason for this is for developers to be able to build tools on top of it for the purpose of forming groups.
- Tools for better searching/filtering LFG
- Tool that provides ETA for certain LFG group (e.g. how long it takes to form a AC group at 5pm?)
- Tools for creating groups with certain group composition (e.g. auto-update LFG text to reflect group compoistion)
- Non-transient LFG tool (e.g. show me all the users who LFG’ed for XYZ in Achievement Hunter in the past hour)

Seems reasonable. Here’s a tracking issue.

Not sure it would be interresting to have LFG results with a 5min delay though :/
Lawton Campbell.8517:
LFG results wouldn’t necessarily need that long of a cache time.
The long cache times are only necessary for character/account blobs for architectural reasons.
