Hi all. I am passionate new player of World of Warcraft with foundation knowledge in software. I would like to ask If I can develop an android app tool that allow players to learn how diminished returns (DR) works when use an ability with cc effect. Additionally, I would like to know if I can add adds into this app. I use some endpoints of WOW API in order to fetch icons and description of spell abilities Thanks
I believe you can, you must inform your users you are getting the data from the API as specified in the API ToS tho.
As far as I can tell the only thing you can’t do is sell API data, a lot of apps out there monetize their special features while keeping a basic tier for free.
For instance, if you fetch character data, the data itself must be made available for free, however any statistic, comparison, calculation or really any special feature you build upon the API you may require a premium subscription.
Edit: Also I don’t remember any rule prohibiting adds to be displayed in such apps.

So many thanks for the clarification about ads and terms of use of API
