Hi, Bladdez,
The old Armory RSS feeds have been decommissioned in favor of the new Battle.net Community Platform API (more information can be found in the stickies in this forum). However, character/guild feed data has not yet been implemented. Stay tuned! ________________________________________________ MVP, Web and API Libraries for the Community Platform API: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2369882588 |

Glad you got it worked out, Slades, and thanks to all the community members who helped!

As the API is still new, there's not a whole lot to document. However, as things progress, I'm sure there will need to be a concerted effort to keep track of everything. This is my version of that effort (though if Blizzard plans on making some docs available, I'll all for that instead. :)
As the API grows and changes, I'm going to do my best to keep track of everything in this tread. Thanks to Darque and Sixen for getting things started at http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2416152349. If anyone (including those of you with blue and green text!) notice anything that doesn't look right, please feel free to let me know and/or fix it, as your abilities entail. |

My goal for this thread is to keep an up-to-date list of tools for different programming languages that facilitate accessing the new Community Platform API. If you'd like your project listed, just reply to the thread! Alternatively, follow the instructions at https://github.com/BinaryMuse/wow-api-projects#readme (which I use to maintain this list and generate the markup).

Greetings,
I was wondering if anyone could give some information about the current rate limits. I currently have an application running on Heroku, and I'm getting the following error when I try to make a request to the realm status API: Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) Using the same code from my personal computer results in no error; it's only from Heroku's server that this error occurs. I am assuming that I'm hitting some sort of limit for that IP? Here is the minimal example (in Ruby): >> api = 'http://us.battle.net/api/wow/realm/status' => "http://us.battle.net/api/wow/realm/status" >> uri = URI.parse api => #<URI::HTTP:0x2b7d0996a030 URL:http://us.battle.net/api/wow/realm/status> >> json = Net::HTTP.get uri Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) /usr/ruby1.8.7/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `initialize' /usr/ruby1.8.7/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `open' /usr/ruby1.8.7/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `connect' /usr/ruby1.8.7/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:53:in `timeout' Am I on the right track here, or is there something else going on? Thanks in advance! [Edit] Restarting the app (and thus launching it on a new IP) seems to have fixed the issue. It seems odd that I would hit a rate limit, as (1) the data is cached in memcache for 5 minutes before it tries to download again, and (2) if the app is idle for a while (half an hour or so?), Heroku spins down the instance and it comes up again on a new IP the next time it's accessed. So, I'm definitely interested in any thoughts or info. Thanks again! |

Hurray! Great to see this work coming to fruition, and thanks to all the folks that made it happen.
In the spirit of sharing, I'll kick things off by sharing a small realm status web site, written in Ruby using Sinatra. You can use the site at http://wowstatus.info/ and the source is available at GitHub at https://github.com/BinaryMuse/wow-realm-status. It fetches and parses the realm status API on the server side, and caches it in a memcached instance for five minutes before it attempts to re-download fresh data. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with! Happy coding! |
