Show HN: Guild Wars 2 Armory Made with React and Node
- madou 10y agoWow has an armory, why not Guild Wars 2? Website: https://gw2armory.com https://gw2armory.com Repos: https://github.com/madou/armory-react https://github.com/madou/armory-react https://github.com/madou/armory-back https://github.com/madou/armory-back
- notheguyouthink 10y agoIs ANet making this data publicly available? Is it per-account? I'm just curious, as last i played there was no realistic way to implement this sort of feature. It was heavily desired though, so i'm sure the community will love it. Grats!

- madou 10y agoYeah the data is available - to a degree. It's opt in unfortunately so a user has to sign up with their api keys to allow the armory access to their data. Here's hoping some devs playing gw2 will be interested in contributing to the armory !
- madou 10y agoIf anyone is interested I'll be live coding tonight around 7pm AEST. https://www.twitch.tv/itsmadou https://www.twitch.tv/itsmadou
- mattdeboard 10y agoCool man. GW2 was a source of ideas for me for like 3 years. Every time I went to implement something though I very quickly ran into API limitations. At the time -- maybe it's changed -- they basically just expose the big .dat file that makes up the majority of the client size. So however that data is stored on disk is how it's exposed. Anyhoo, this looks cool and is pretty snappy!
- madou 10y agoThanks man! The api's are better now but you're not wrong, they're limited by what is on the client. Luckily their github and gitter is quite active: https://github.com/arenanet/api-cdi https://github.com/arenanet/api-cdi. And they're open to requests.
