Generating Candlestick Graphs from GW2 commerce API
by inblank.9348 in API DevelopmentHello everyone, rookie developer here
After been using sites like GW2BLTC and GW2TP for almost a year, I happened to notice that I don't see stock market like visualizations on those tools. So I went around and started to explore the API myself to see if that was possible.
That said, I was happy to see that most of the data I would need comes from the
/commerce/endpoint, and this kind of visualization can be done in a multitude of libraries.So here come the challenge: as far as I am aware, I would need to keep track of daily prices of items (buy and sell), with a relative small interval between collection, for each of the desired items, which would be expensive in requests (possible banning my ip address due to DoS suspicion), and in data storage (not all items change price in minutes notice).
If possible, I would look for advice in how to deal with these two topics. I intended to use python as backend for data collection and preprocessing, and javascript for visualization, so if there's some smart way to deal with the requests problem easily please let me know. Also, this may be a stupid idea, so I am open to critique. I was thinking of using firebase as my data storage, but I think I would explode the free quota really soon.
Discord Integration?
by QuantumRubixCube.5961 in API DevelopmentWould there be any chance of being able to link a Discord Bot to a chat overlay through the use of API keys? I need to be able to hyperlink a Discord Server Invite link through chat and maybe even use links to allow players to instantly join a voice channel temporarily. Is this at all possible? Or would it require high fidelity fenagling?
Upcoming Balance Notes
byIrenio CalmonHuang.2048 in Professions
Greetings fellow Tyrians!
We've prepared a Balance Update that is slated for next week and in keeping with our push to get the Release Notes to you early so that you can theorycraft, discuss and prepare... here they are. Enjoy!
General
With the upcoming update we're continuing to create the promised tradeoffs to some elite specialization lines with changes to chronomancer shatters, an overhaul of scrapper specialization traits, and some improvements to the base necromancer Death Shroud, all in order to make the choice of an elite specialization more meaningful. We're also doing some follow-up work on the changes to berserker from the last balance update to tune up a few areas. The other main focus of this update is adjustments to core trait lines on several professions to address some pain points and power imbalances. Finally, in this update thieves are getting an entirely new skill type that replaces traps. For full details on these changes, please see the individual profession sections.
Elementalist
In addition to various tempest improvements, this update includes a major change in how core elemental specialization lines work. The weapon-cooldown traits are being merged into the grandmaster minor traits for the four primary elemental lines. Previously, the cooldown trait and other available options were mutually exclusive, and its nature of letting you use abilities more frequently tended to crowd out those alternatives. By folding this functionality into a minor trait, we are recognizing that taking an elemental specialization represents an investment in that element's skills. The traits that used to host the cooldown reductions have each been adjusted to account for these changes.
- Overload Air: Increased damage of the Static Charge effect provided by this skill by 20%. Fixed a bug that prevented Electric Discharge from firing.
API replies with 400: "text": "ErrInternal"
by Mech.4679 in API DevelopmentDear Api Developers,
I've been using your API for a teamspeak bot for a while now, unfortunately it seems that at random times I receive a 400 with response { "text": "ErrInternal" } when asking account info with an api key that has been used before.
Is it possible to enlighten us what goes wrong and eventually change the 400 bad request to a 500 internal server error?
Greetings,
Mech
Anyone else have their API key no show This API key is invalid?

Need help with API (know id for an achievement with only the name)
by ReActif.9251 in API DevelopmentHello, I come to you to find people who have knowledge or help with API.
I am in charge of a distribution of the GW2 TacO overlay oriented more towards helping beginners and indicating achievements.
Recently the overlay has integrated two new options in the creation of markers allowing via the given API key, to check if a achievement or a sub-element is made or not, in order to hide it directly. The executable calls the API: https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/achievementsThe markers are XML tags and therefore the scripts and query part of the API is done directly by the overlay.
There are just two variables in the XML tag of the marker:
- achievementID (integer) : achievement IDs
- achievementBits (integer): Bits of the sub-element (if existing but not so important if I have to do without)
Legendary items with diviners stats seem to be returning wrong stat id
{
"id": 80248,
"slot": "Helm",
"upgrades": [
24702
],
"infusions": [
43253
],
"stats": {
"id": 1556,
"attributes": {
"Power": 54,
"Precision": 30,
"CritDamage": 30,
"BoonDuration": 54
}
},
"binding": "Account",
"dyes": [
25,
2,
642,
null
]
}an example helmet, in game it's diviners. id 1556 leads nowhere https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/itemstats/1556, diviners is actually 1566 https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/itemstats/1566

quests?ids=all. Id are not a good reference because they are not in order ^^
On the endpoint/stories?ids=alland/stories/seasons?ids=allwe find a valueorderwhich allows to know the correct order of the elements.
Thank you for your help !
API data does not match the in-game info
by Mighty Cole.7849 in API DevelopmentWhen I look over the JSON data from https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/wvw/matches/1-2 all of the data (I.e. Victory Points, War Score, etc) matches the current in-game information with the exception of Kills and Deaths. Is there a problem with the API or is there something that I'm not taking in to account? The screen shot below illustrates the difference in values.
For Example, the in-game World vs. World Match Overview panel, under the Kill/Death (Total) tab, lists Fort Aspenwood at 22,830 kills with 19,030 deaths. However, when I ran the link above, the API listed Fort Aspenwood at 21,297 kills with 19,648 deaths.

Legendary Runes & Sigils not in API
by Vegeta.2563 in API DevelopmentAny character that has these equip cannot display the active rune in the item its slotted. Just shows a blank square for that area.
API data does not match the in-game data
by Mighty Cole.7849 in API DevelopmentAlmost all of the JSON data from https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/wvw/matches/1-2 appears to be accurate with the exception of "kills" and "deaths" when compared to the in-game GUI. Is the game providing false data or is the API incorrect?

Preflight 404
by Leablo.2651 in API DevelopmentWhen using the X-Schema-Version request header, this causes a preflight request as expected, but the preflight response is 404.
No issues when not using the header/preflight not required.
Anyone else seeing this or just me?
Feature Request: Dungeon explorable mode unlocks
by Chaba.5410 in API DevelopmentIt would be a great QoL addition to be able to tell which character has which dungeon explorable mode unlocked. Currently it is real discouraging to get to a dungeon on a toon in order to do paths for tokens only to realize you haven't played story mode yet.
Personal Story quests were recently added to /v2/characters/:id/quests which has been great. Hopefully something like /v2/characters/:id/dungeons could be added! Thank you!
