I need some help. I'm looking to pull some specific data from the WoW API, but I'm a complete noob. Essentially, I want to take a look at all of the members of a guild and identify which achievements they are missing. The purpose of this would be to identify potential areas for scheduled small group content/events.
For the experts out there: is targeting this specific set of information possible? If so, can you point me to a WoW API 101 crash course and any other tools I might need explore more?
Much appreciated!
Hrm.... HRM....
ReplyDeleteI think I know what I'm developing this weekend.
Umm...if this is the case, please let me know how I can help---I have battle pets...gold...a Paypal account. I'd love to pitch in with the means I have.
ReplyDeleteThe Web API is documented at http://blizzard.github.io/api-wow-docs/#achievement-api.
DeleteRight now I see the following things to be configured/ran
1. A list of achievement IDs and their simple name
2. Configuration for establishing what realm/guild to search membership for
3. A way to window which members to query for achivements (so you don't scan alts that aren't coming
4. A way to exclude certain sections of achievements (Arena-3s) from being the most "benefical"
Any other features you can think of? I'm on twitter as @hasteur
Just followed you.
DeleteI cannot think of any other features off the top of my head beyond what you have listed. I mean, I think that's basically it: just a quick glance that will show something like "Hey, these 7 people need Panda Dungeon Hero" or whatever.
While his site doesn't seem to do quite what you want, @madsushi can probably answer your questions: http://armoryplus.com/
ReplyDeleteThis is essentially the element of what I'm looking for, just more "player" fields to compare against.
