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 ?

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.

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.

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.

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
