API

2013-05-01T20:28:44Z

Sigma: Added News Type Numbers

An [[Wikipedia:Api|API]] key is used to access in-game news feeds such as ranks, news and market data. This information can then be used to create community-based sites similar to [http://www.boxcarhosting.com/ Boxcar] or [http://eestats.com/ EEstats]. There are many different sites that use this game data to benefit their alliance or the community in general.

==How to get an API key==
If you would like access to game feeds, you must request an API key from [[User:qzjul|qzjul]] or [[User:Pang|Pang]], in [[IRC|#earthempires]] ([[IRC]]), or on the Earth Empires [http://forums.earthempires.com/ forums]. If you are granted a key, it must remain private. '''Do not give your API key to ANYBODY!'''

==Usage==
Once you have an API key, the data is fairly easy to acquire. A simple [[Wikipedia:Hypertext Transfer Protocol|HTTP]] request can be used to access this data which is sent in a [[Wikipedia:Comma-separated_values|CSV]] format. It is then up to the developer's discretion as to how to parse and display the data for human consumption.

[[User:General Earl/scripts/API - ranks|Here]] is a simple example written in perl.

==Feeds==
These are the different feeds and the information they display.
===Ranks===
http://www.earthempires.com/ranks_feed

gives a list of all the countries & their basic information; example of current preferred format
serverid,resetid,rank,number,name,land,networth,tag,gov,gdi,protection,vacation,alive,deleted
currently throttled to 300s polling

===News===
http://www.earthempires.com/news_feed

lists news events & information as they happen; example of current preferred format:
serverid,resetid,newsid,timestamp,type,win,attacker_num,attacker_name,defender_num,defender_name,result1,result2,a_tag,d_tag,killhit
currently throttled to 1s polling

===Market===
http://www.earthempires.com/market_feed

lists the current state of the market; example of current format:
serverid,typeid,cost,amount,standing order price
currently throttled to 1s polling;
This feed is only if you want a snapshot of current prices; if you want to log transactions please use the transactions feed...

===Transactions===
http://www.earthempires.com/mtrans_feed

lists the market transactions (purchases) as they happen: example of current format:
serverid,resetid,transactionid,time,goodid,price,quantity,standing_order_purchase(this is a bool)
currently throttled to 1s polling;
This feed is the preferred feed for determining market transactions;

===General Information===
http://www.earthempires.com/apicode_info

Lists whether you're using gzip encoding and various hit stats and information.

==Request Format==
Once you have a key, you will be granted permission to a forum which is dedicated to helping and answering developers' questions. All updates concerning the API and it's use are noted here. Developers should check this often. There are many examples of how to '''properly''' use the API. it is highly recommended you learn about [[Wikipedia:gzip|.gzip]] compression with the use of your platform to help [[EE]] conserve bandwidth.

All feeds take ?apicode=(your apicode) for the feed itself, and without that argument have a help page if you go to it in your browser.

== Server ID Numbers ==
Each server has a numerical value (serverid):
{|class="wikitable"
!ID#!! Server
|-
| 8 || Express
|-
| 9 || Alliance
|-
| 10 || Team
|-
| 11 || Primary
|-
| 12 || FFA
|}

== News Type Numbers ==
Each hit types has a numerical value (type):
{|class="wikitable"
!ID#!!News Type
|-
| 1 || Standard Strike
|-
| 2 || Planned Strike
|-
| 5 || Guerilla Strike
|-
| 6 || Bombing Run
|-
| 7 || Artillery Barrage
|-
| 10 || Nuclear Missile
|-
| 11 || Chemical Missile
|-
| 12 || Cruise Missile
|}
