Lawton Campbell.8517 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I broke stuff. Temporarily turned off all of the APIs while I sort out some crashing backend server. Planning on turning it back on ~~today~~Monday with some endpoints disabled (`/v2/colors` and the corresponding `/v1` endpoint, at least). Sorry about the mess.

bobsort.4097 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Stuff breaks during upgrade, update and enhancement, Clarity and being informant about it is most important. Thank you for heads up and appreciate it. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valento.9852 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Lawton, is it possible for you guys to have a mirror api web server before big updates? There's a plethora of websites which simply won't work without them, and while I sincerely understand shoot happens in live, it would be cool to have a backup of sorts... at least for static endpoints such as items, traits and skills. There's quite a lot of popular build websites which break without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartless.6803 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 This explains things, I was looking up builds and couldn't see them. This wouldn't have happened IF WE HAD BUILD TEMPLATES TO SAVE BUILDS!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovoToxin.3950 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Thanks for notifying us. Just as I was about to try writing my first GW2 API to get the prices of all the dyes I don't own. I guess it's back to excel for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthos.3791 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hey, thanks for letting us know! This exposed that I'm not properly handling the API being down in my app which I'm now fixing, and I don't know that I'd have properly caught it if the API didn't explode. Good luck and remember to take breaks and stuff! :+1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's quite a lot of popular build websites which break without them. Bump to this! ^ Quite a few websites are basically unusable without this. Would be fabulous to have even an outdated mirror, until the new/fixed one kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mobile character viewer app for iOS. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gw2-assistant/id1206531672?ls=1&mt=8 I open sourced the v1 of it since I'm about 95% done updating the whole thing to Ionic 3, but I don't really have a lot of time to work on it. :/ v1 source is here: https://github.com/cthos/gw2-ionic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's quite a lot of popular build websites which break without them. A better solution would be to have some local cache in the API-client for the data that the API-client wants to serve offline (when the API is not responding). An API-client/website should always be prepared that API-calls do not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
