WoW Roster API

We are working to support the new Blizzard API, but work is ongoing as the new API is missing some details we need.

I am Now nearly done.

Major parts working. Required larger restructure last week, Because they changed the api slightly.

My requested additions are now included, without these the api was more or less useless. I am currently checking if large guilds exceed the limits per hour/second..

Short version: the api is currently not working, blizzard changed it. And sadly, the new one was missing a lot of information. Update at least for guilds is done, I will finalize it these days. Got a bit delayed as well.

Hey. Do we have any news on it?

Thank you

Yes. See my last answer

Is there a temporary solution for it apart from just importing all new characters manually?

Thank you

No temporary solution. But hopefully a beta version for testing soon

Hello,

I have to be honest. This is a gamebreaker to using the calendar atm. I can't keep up importing chars etc as we have a really large community.

I would be very glad if you had approximately an estimated time that this feature will be available again. Otherwise it looks like at least for the time I will have to switch to a discord planner or something similar.

Nontheless I want to thank you for your time and effort and I understand how hard this is to keep it alive.

We know that the situation is annoying, but what can we do if Blizzard changes its complete API? We have to rewrite complete everything, and we had to wait until the API is stable, as Blizzard has changed a lot during their new API is live.

As you can see here https://github.com/EQdkpPlus/game-wow/commits/master, we worked in past days to finalize it. You can give the current GitHub state a try, the import and other things should work, but we are currently working on.

We - wallenium and I - have family and a full-time job, therefore everything takes time.

Yea, I totally understand and appreciate that. It's just been said:

So, was wondering about that "these days" and I was looking for how long approximately I will have to manually import.

Thank you very much again and looking forward to have this feature again. Will keep supporting your work in any case guys. You did great so far with everything!

On another note, I can give it a try if you guys want and see if I spot anything too.

Yes, test it and report any issues.

JFI: We removed some information we previously displayed, and the professions aren't working yet, as Blizzard does not provide them yet.

Please test it. My tests are done, release this evening if you do not find any issues.

The testing of external api is a bit more complex. For that, I wrote several test cases to check multiple languages, etc.

While testing, i stumbled upon several issues.

Sadly, instead of ONE call per char, we need now 8 (sic!) to receive less information than before.

All in all, the new api is a mess. And that blizzard disabled the old one prior to finalizing the new one is a mess too - but more or less normal for blizzard. They simply do not really care.

Please report back if you encounter any issue

And just to show you, with problems we are facing:

https://www.screencast.com/t/ZLKHJkfPFz

Blizzard is not able to correctly format the names of the chars. e.g., "Sturmjäger" is written as "Sturmjä12569" directly in the API...

Where shall I report issues? Here or we have a platform for it?
