Is there any chance we can get some information about what changes will be made to the API to support the new item upgrades coming in 5.1?
I'd like to start looking at how to implement support for this on my site (as it sounds like we may see this patch soon), but I'm not really sure how the information will be represented so any information would be appreciated.

As of a few days ago, my armory import script was working fine with JSON requests from all regions except TW (which seems to still give me character not found). However, I received reports today from my CN users that they can no longer use the armory import.
I'm not sure why, but for some reason as of today, I can't seem to load http://www.battlenet.com.cn/ through my web host (Dreamhost if it matters). I can load the JSON and HTML versions of the page just fine from my home computer and my server at work, but the server my hosting account lives on just gets "couldn't connect to host". Could this be related to the throttling? According to my logs I've only had 829 queries for CN armory in the past day, but it's possible there are other WoW related scripts on the shared hosting server run by others. I would think the throttling would give a more useful error instead of just the inability to connect (and I'm not sure why it would apply to viewing the non-API version of the site). I also did some importing of item names using a script accessing the HTML item pages Saturday, but I would hope the HTML pages aren't counted towards the API cap, and if the cap is daily that should have expired by now. I suppose it's also possible that there's some routing issue between my webhost and the server (I'll send them an inquiry as well) but it seems strange that would happen a day after my CN translation release so my first thought was that it was a traffic issue. |
