World Boss daily kills?
SlippyCheeze.5483:
Is there any chance the API could export which world bosses have been killed that day, in the same way that, eg, dungeon completion, etc, are trackable?

Created a tracking issue for this, but it’s can of worms. The cats/nodes/SAB/etc are a bit simpler since they’re totally disconnected systems, whereas a world boss endpoint would want the event data, the spawn timers, etc. Which isn’t infeasible, it’s just more work to thread everything through the needle.

Thanks for the explanation of why. In my head I naively assumed there was something like a hidden achievement used to track “has killed today” that got reset at daily time. (Guess that WoW implementation detail was stuck in my head, and I didn’t realise it until now. Since those are account-wide but kills are per-character, that doesn’t make sense in GW2 universe.)
Note: I’m specifically thinking “have I killed this yet”, for an automated checklist sort of system, rather than “when is it up”, etc, sort of data. That is, I use gw2timer.com to track when they spawn and things, and I can manually check off a boss on kill. I’d like that “remember to click” bit to be automated by pulling from the API or whatever.
