Excellent work Xia!

Yep nice work! Are you planning on producing statistics from this?

Also, is there any chance the timeline API objects could be made more machine-readable? For example instead of (or as well as) the "text" field, add fields something like:

Code:

// Syrtis captured Trelleborg fort
{ realm: "Syrtis", type: "fort", target: "Trelleborg" }

// Ignis captured a Syrtis gem
{ realm: "Ignis", type: "gem", target: "Syrtis" }

Yeah, that's the plan, plus providing the data for others to play with (hence the API).

You're right that the timeline object should be more machine readable. I wasn't thinking straight when I made that format at 3 am.

Fixed, now the format looks like this:

Code:

{ "type":"gem_capture", "timestamp":"2009-08-06T19:39:49+00:00", "target":"alsius gem", "actor":"ignis" }
{ "type":"fort_capture", "timestamp":"2009-08-06T19:53:52+00:00", "target":"shaanarid castle", "actor":"syrtis" }

Is it possible to have an XML version or even an RSS feed ?

linearguild · 08-14-2009, 12:28 AM

That's a great idea. I've placed RSS feed links from the world list and in auto-discovery tags on the timeline pages.

I assume you want the feed to get event updates so it contains only last 100 captures. Please use the API if you want to grab the whole data set, most programming languages should already have a JSON parser.

Thanks it's nice I'll check the RSS, it's to add to my Google reader ^^
I'll see what I can do with JSON data later ^^
