I’m a web services kind of person, and i have recently “invested” in Oort. I would like to start building some web tools around various aspects of the game, but before i start, i’d like to hear some official thoughts on web apis.
What apis specifically? Well, i don’t know. Basically, i want to build web functionality and tools. Official APIs go a long way to making these things sane, rather than hacky implementations ontop of it.
Now these APIs could be logged in players, what worlds people are on, what worlds types there are, weather patterns, titans alive, etc etc etc. The list really goes on and on. Note that i’m not asking for these APIs specifically, just giving examples.
The point is, if you guys are planning on making any APIs accessible, i would *love* to hear about them. Every API you expose, is something i don’t have to do in a horrible crappy/hacky way haha. We as a community can always memory scan and crowd source, but those are painful to implement, and game designers often want to ban them due to the close relation they have to hacking.
So yea, this is a long drawn out question. Do you have any plans for APIs?
