API for War Status ?

[kamax]

Hello,

It would be nice to make the war status API public. I need it in android / iphone app i have build and want to refresh.

I already have some old info but it would be nice to have the latest and full info. I already have MP a guy from NGD but he no more reply.

Can someone give me this API that i can refresh my smartphone apps ?

[Slartibartfast]

You should contact Adrian for all questions regarding API.

[kamax]

Yes Adrian, i'll try again to contact him.
He give me some info in 2013.

Are you the owner of regnum sentinel website ?
Is boss respawn time in the API ?

[Slartibartfast]

Yes, I created regnumsentinel. And no, there is no boss info in API.

[kamax]

How do you get boss respawn time then ?

[Slartibartfast]

How do you get boss respawn time then ?

Bosses respawn in 109 hours interval, so I do the math.

Oh i see and you have to adjust every time the server reboot. It's a lot of work.

Not really, it's all fully automated. My site requires zero maintenance.

[kamax]

Oh yes, you can check if the server is down since you probably have a script that run 24/24h. I had the smartphone wayin mind and i probably can't check if server is down all the time with a smartphone.

[Slartibartfast]

Smartphone application is not enough for this. You need the server which will pull war status once a minute from NGD's server, store data and serve it to your mobile application. You can't access directly to NGD's servers from your application because of:

1. Access to NGD's server is limited from one IP only
2. There is API call limit, i think it's 60 calls per hour

Practically, you have a single API command - get_world_status which returns something like:


{
"haven": {
"capture_owners": {
"alsius_castle_capture_point": "alsius",
"alsius_door_capture_point": "alsius",
"alsius_fort_1_capture_point": "alsius",
"alsius_fort_2_capture_point": "alsius",
"ignis_castle_capture_point": "ignis",
"ignis_door_capture_point": "ignis",
"ignis_fort_1_capture_point": "ignis",
"ignis_fort_2_capture_point": "ignis",
"syrtis_castle_capture_point": "syrtis",
"syrtis_door_capture_point": "alsius",
"syrtis_fort_1_capture_point": "alsius",
"syrtis_fort_2_capture_point": "alsius"
},
"gem_owners": {
"gem_altar_alsius_1": "alsius",
"gem_altar_alsius_2": "alsius",
"gem_altar_ignis_1": "alsius",
"gem_altar_ignis_2": "ignis",
"gem_altar_syrtis_1": "syrtis",
"gem_altar_syrtis_2": "syrtis"
},
"relic_owners": {
"realm_relic_aggersborg": "realm_relic_altar_aggersborg",
"realm_relic_algaros": "realm_wall_power_source_syrtis_3",
"realm_relic_eferias": "realm_relic_altar_eferias",
"realm_relic_herbred": "realm_wall_power_source_syrtis_2",
"realm_relic_imperia": "realm_relic_altar_imperia",
"realm_relic_menirah": "realm_relic_altar_menirah",
"realm_relic_samal": "realm_relic_altar_samal",
"realm_relic_shaanarid": "realm_relic_altar_shaanarid",
"realm_relic_trelleborg": "realm_relic_altar_trelleborg"
}
}
}


And that's all the info you will get from API. All other higher level data should be derived from it.

Good luck :)

[kamax]

Thanks for the info. For the moment, my old apps use a mix of 3 API call that are not IP limited. I was not aware of the one you give.

The old API i use is better for mobile use but as you have say, i need to build higher level information myself. Some of them need a server and i already have one but i don't think i'll use it for this.

NGD should provide information to external dev to build goodies around the game. It should not take a lot of time to add few lines like boss respawn time or at least last server reboot time.

And wihtout IP whitelist but somthing like 60 call per hour/IP like other popular API do to prevent some abuse.

If some NGD member read this, please give a answer of what you think about this.

How do you know about dragon wish, it's not in the answer ?

[Slartibartfast]

I do the math. I know when the invasion is started, and if gems are reset to their positions, abviously the wish is granted.

Ok thanks, i have a half backed ios app now that use this new API.
I just need to understand boos respawn time.


It's every 109h but how to get a starting point ?
Is it 109h from respawn time or dead time ?
When the server reboot, whe have every 3 boss but does this affect the normal cycle or can we just continue the 109h cycle and the 3 "reboot boss" are extra ?

I'm not quite sure what's the reference time point of starting counting down 109 hours. I used few other fan sites to set this point in my app.

The bosses do respawn 109h after they have spawned the last time. Not after they were killed.
The serverdown respawns are extra.

Thanks for your help !
