Some Quality of life changes would be nice…
in the first api we could call all the character info in one string … essentially making one call for the now close to 21 calls to get player information and request limits are small with some burst protection
36,000 requests per hour at a rate of 100 requests per second
some of us can burn that in seconds literally but only requesting 4+ characters an increase would be amazing especially where my scripts have the ability to use curl-multi i could request upwards of over 1000 players but, that’s a lot, and i would lock the server but its is possible even a 10x increase on the limits would stop a lot of 429 errors in scripts and make some sites faster on gathering use data.
some apis could due with more data being exposed like spells and talents giving us cast time cooldowns resource cost and so on would be amazing to have and give us more robust tooltips
media api’s - maybe a base64 string for the image that we can store in our cache databases so we dont have to hit the wow website all the time to hotlink images?
LMH - how about free last modified header calls that is its not been updated we dont get dinged for said request?
thats all i can think of for now…
as for this info i would love to make discord bot apps for my website and have announcements for guild and member events ( and account link id on characters would be epic … )
access to in game event dates and time would be amazing and something everyone has wanted for a while as well
world quest lists would be good as well
making guild communities better and the info for the average user should be top priority having data for us to do anything game related would be awesome ( minus sensitive data and so on )
better more linked item spell and general item data would be good
loot tables would be another huge things for guilds
journal entries information and strategies from in game would be of use too to get boss info in discord for when running a raid and could be posted with a bot to help people out
if all in game data was available and of course we had a higher rate limit the sky is the limit for our imagination as to what we can do
- An endpoint to get current Mythic Plus Season dungeons.
- Instances specific to Mythic Plus dungeons.
Currently, following the chance down from mythic plus dungeons, you can get the instance, then the encounter, then the items. But the items are for time walking or the original gear drops.
Separate instances with the actual mythic plus drops / encounters / updated abilities for the season would add clarity to instances.
Plus not all items listed in the drops don’t actually drop in mythic plus.
Second other posts asking for complete historical mythic plus run data.
I’m not sure about more complete AH data. I don’t appreciate how much the api and other tools break the ability for regular players to participate in the AH.
Access to Character Currency values would be nice for my app. At this time, I have to rely on an “honor system” (not lying, etc) or screenshots/videos to verify accuracy.
currency will never be exposed they have said this before… also dont necro 1y+ topics…
