Okay,
I've wrote it once but probably nobody wanted to hear me or answering me or I posted it
into wrong forum. But anyways.
We have the following urls here:
view-source:http://www.wowarmory.com/item-tooltip.xml?i=59492&rhtml=no
Returning
<itemSource areaId="5094" areaName="" creatureId="0" creatureName="" difficulty="" dropRate="4" value="sourceType.creatureDrop"/> as part of it and is a bit weird because the same
info is in the
view-source:http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=59492&rhtml=no
<dropCreatures>
<creature area="Blackwing Descent" classification="1" dropRate="2" id="51101" maxLevel="88" minLevel="88" name="Magmaw" type="Beast"/>
<creature area="Blackwing Descent" classification="1" dropRate="4" id="41570" maxLevel="88" minLevel="88" name="Magmaw" type="Beast"/>
</dropCreatures>
And is way more informative. :)
Why would you put Ids in there instead of the strings in the item-tooltip? Isn't it easier to combine these two xml feeds with this information? Plus it misses the masteryBonusRating tag or whatever that tag's name is. The <bonusExpertiseRating> is there though. This fact actually the most irritating at this point. Are these the leftovers of the previous armory website because it has been working with old items?
Now take a look at this request
view-source:http://us.battle.net/wow/en/item/59492/tooltip?i=59492
It gives us all what we need to know + if we add more parameters to the query
you will be able to see all the reforging on the item and gems and enchants.
It is perfect with one big exception - the information being returned is in blasted html format :))).
Please could you make the same thing to be returned in JSON.
Is it possible to create a JSON lookup service which will return item info basing on parameters say name, id, boss name which drops it... etc. ?
I haven't found such a service. Please point in the right direction if I'm wrong.
And sorry for the offtop - the /ta/lookup?term=* autocompletion service in the search textbox doesn't seem to lookup for the cata items on the site here. I thought it could be the order
by (id,classid etc...) issue but it doesn't seem to be so.
Thank you very much guys!
I do really appreciate the work you do here.
