WvW API Question and Requests
Daze.6914:
Request and question regarding WvW API.
- In the match_details request, what is the order of the three world in the scores token?
Es. “scores” : [27699,19206,20934], what number is corresponding to what world?
- In the matches request, can we have an additional token that would indicate if the match is EU or US? Also, can an optional querystring parameter be added to filter the result to the desired location?
Edit: I just realized the wvw_match_id value is “{Location}-{Tier}”
- In the objective_name request, the returned name indicates the type of the objective, we would need their name also (es. Bay or Hills).
- In the match_details request, we would need a way to retrieve the guild names and possibly a link to its insignia from the returned GUID.
Thank you.

From the examples I’ve seen (looking at our tier where green has the most points, and the tier above where blue has the most) the order is [(red),(blue),(green)].

Moturdrn is right about the order, its red-blue-green.
You can find the objective names in another thread, its easy to put them in a database and link them with the ID’s.
For the match_detail, for the time being.. it is possible to ask in the chat which guild claimed what, and then you can figure it yourself :P

Ok, it took a while but I managed to gather all the localized static data (words and objectives) in a database. Regarding the guilds, I will wait for the new API features to be implemented.

Actually, the reason why it’ll be useful to get the guild names with the API is that nobody ever replies when you ask who claimed objective X. At least not when it’s somebody that claimed it without activating any buffs, it’ll be nice to find out what guilds are responsible so they can be told why it’s not a good idea
But yeah, eagerly awaiting new additions to the API

Yeah it would be nice. That said I’ve had a few whisper me back so far telling me it’s them, or that it’s such and such a guild. Even had a few guilds go out of their way to claim things so I can get their IDs too

Oh that’s actually quite a good idea
Ah well, I’m not finding it incredibly important at the moment for what I’m doing, it would just be a nice extra.
