It'll just break again in a week... The war stats page changes weekly now.

a good idea to change the method of finding the right strings, the problem is that I do not know python
maybe XPath can help...

I re-wrote the script from scratch to use Xia's JSON status API instead of the rankings page.

The status API:
http://rostatus.heroku.com/api

The new script:
http://pastebin.com/F1aZCG7p

It can probably be done a lot cleaner & in fewer lines, I just wrote this between coffee & lunch cause I wanted my conky status back

So now difference is: if before line was readet from page by build in script of widget...now u use a server script what export all this line in JSON format(what is almoust symilar with xml).
If there is no update now:
-Server is down;
-Xia's server cant fetch data;
-Widget dosen't connect to xia server;

The difference is mostly that the previous script was parsing HTML which now because of "Top Player" rankings is broken.

I don't like parsing HTML so instead of fixing the previous script, I re-wrote it to use 1 line of JSON that Xia's server provides, much simpler.

If the information is not available to anyone, it does not matter what you are using (HTML, JSON, whatever), it will not display valid info. You cannot create information where it does not exist

Good job! I first heard about this API. This method is much simpler than parsing HTML.

You can just change the word "horus" in my python script to "muspel", "niflheim" or whatever server you want, and it will work

Blow away dust from this thread ...

I re-write Miraculix script: http://pastebin.com/PLr4ugg7
A more compact layout and adapt the new warzone mechanics (including passive realm status).

Feel free to customize it on your own needs.



PS: Default server at this script is muspell, oops.
