Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 @"MikeLewis.7496" said:I wanted to check in as well and give you all a bit of insight into what's going on with the APIs right now.Thank you.Our first priority is triage; as Ylan mentioned, the two of us will directly be watching GitHub and this forum for reports and feedback on what's most important to you.Sounds good.Once we have established some general ordering for what will be tackled, we're working on finding multiple folks from the GW2 engineering team who can contribute to keeping the APIs up to date and solid. As several people have identified already, having the entire API project tasked to one person is suboptimal in a lot of ways. So we want to address that specifically going forward.That's really good news. Thanks for letting us know and for confirming that the Powers That Be consider it important, too.I'm sure you all can appreciate how huge a game like GW2 is and how much effort goes into keeping it living and fresh; so hopefully it isn't a surprise when I say that we have a lot going on and a lot of competing demands on the team's time and attention.Indeed.While the APIs are something we are very much interested in maintaining and supporting for the future, we do appreciate your understanding that sometimes other things are higher priorities, and so we are trying very hard not to promise things right now. That said, as things do solidify and become clearer, we will definitely be keeping the community up to date.That sounds fine.... Still, keep in mind that you guys were too good. You made a solid API that some clever fans have turned into amazing tools... and now so many of us non-coders depend on them. It's no longer just an "interesting" side project of the game; it's a robust feature that folks expect to be working all the time.how do you all feel about GitHub and specifically how we've been using it up until now?I think GitHub is a good resource. As a non-coder, I can track issues (and even raise them). It seems also like an appropriate tool for the official coders (you guys) and the unofficial ones (the fan developers) to communicate about details.

EthanLightheart.9168 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 What are you talking about? Could you explain api or bring it into a context? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reedtanguerra.6425 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm chiming in to join @Wanze.8410. We've both been making noise trying to get our 3rd party trading post tools functional again. So happy there's dev response on the API issues!

DarkMagister.7429 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Further developing API is good, but maybe the thing of a higher prioriy is making something broken work again? I'm talking about tradepost, which seems to be dead for like 2 months already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff MikeLewis.7496 Posted March 14, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted March 14, 2018 For clarity, we are prioritizing fixes over additions for now. The trading post refresh issue is on our list and I'll be glad to post more information once we have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreTwO.9780 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 But it is good to hear, that this issue has been recognised by ArenaNet. That is wat we were missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ticket for this in the API Kanban board is still way down in the priority list on the backlog and not started. :-(https://waffle.io/arenanet/api-cdi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archomeda.6472 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 The waffle.io board hasn't been updated in months. Currently, they aren't using the special tags that make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry if I am misunderstanding here?She means bug reports about the API, specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
