I would like to know if we have an endpoint for knowing the location of our characters if not I request it to be added: like https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/characters/locations

Giving location in world map x and y like for pois/waypoints plus map name and region name?

 

My second request is about Npcs: something like https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/maps/15/npcs, that would in that case, return all npcs (allied and foes) names and races present in queensdale.

 

You will ask me why.

I want to make a map using the api that allows players to discover insolite places and dialogues it would allow me to add them on the map: eg: meppa rata sum, come while affiliated to order of whisper. Your current location: mount maelstrom.

There's no such thing as a web API for character locations. Simple answer: the API has caching, and it'll update too slow for it to be viable. The only thing that has real time location updates, is the [Mumble Link API](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API:MumbleLink). For that, you'll need to create a client sided application since it's local.

 

An NPC endpoint would be too much work for little gain I imagine. There's so many NPCs in the game, and not all of them are standing in one place either. So there's probably a lot of data that's dynamic or done with scripts. Then again, I'm just a community member; I don't know how difficult it would actually be.
