Ongoing War IDs in Nation API: it would be very useful to see a list of a nation's ongoing wars in the Nation API.

To go along with this, ongoing war IDs in the Alliance API would be pretty sweet. 

EDIT BY ALEX: This has been done.

I've updated the Nation API to include the following:

offensivewars

defensivewars

offensivewar_ids

defensivewar_ids

But for the time being I can't push these changes live yet. Expect them in the next week or two.

  • Radiation and Season in API (personal suggestion): this is something I would find useful (not sure if others would), but a way to get the radiation level and season for a nation would be nice (in the nation API ideally). 

I second this one

Also, LYRO IS BACK!!

My request is very simple and particular that would be of help to a current spreadsheet project I'm working on.

Would it be possible to include the "offensivewars" and "defensivewars" indexes that are current found in the nation (singular) api and add it to the nations (plural) api? In other words can you add these keys from the nation api to the nation list api? Thanks.

I am okay with this so long as it is an option. I'll add it to the list.

I figured I'd link my previous posts about the API, and then include some extra stuff below.

Other notes:

  • All API pages should have the header media type of "application/json"
  • All date/times should be in the format "1990-12-31T23:00:00Z". Dates are fine as "1990-12-31"
  • Date Founded for Alliances API should be called "founded" (this seems to be standard), not "founddate"
  • Alliance API is missing Date Founded
  • Versioning: Should accept the HTTP Header "X-PNWAPI-Version" (or similar), which should just contain a simple version number, eg "1.9.0". If there is no header, it defaults to the latest version.
  • Authentication: Should accept the HTTP Header "Authorization", which should contain "Bearer: <api_key>", eg "Bearer: 6ecf12cc109d9a". If there is no header, it should return the json "{error: "Not Authorised"}" or similar (this allows you to rate limit all API requests then).
  • Result Filtering: Allow the results to be filtered, example "api/nations/?filter=id:lte:1000" (all nations with a nation id less than or equal to 1000)
  • Field Selection: Allow the fields to be altered from the default, example "api/nations/?fields=id,name,leader,alliance_id"
    • Of course, these can be both combined into "api/nations/?fields=id,name,leader,alliance_id&filter=id:lte:1000"

Alternate suggestion for API endpoints (as opposed to my above posts). Might be overkill.

api/orbis/
- current game information
{
	orbis_date: <date>, //eg 1990-12-31
	server_time: <date/time> //eg 1990-12-31T23:00:00Z
	season: <string>, //one of summer/autumn/winter/spring
	radiation: {
		global: <decimal>,
		africa: <decimal>,
		...
	}
}

api/orbis/nations/
- all nations, default to the fields listed in my above post

api/orbis/nations/<nation_id>/

- all cities for a nation

api/orbis/nations/<nation_id>/cities/<city_id>/
api/orbis/cities/<city_id>/

api/orbis/cities/<city_id>/improvements/

I just fixed a bug where there was a discrepancy between the rank shown in the Nation API and the rank shown on the view nation page caused by the API taking into account nations in vacation mode.

The Nation API now includes the nation's local radiation index and what season the nation is currently in. @Lyrositor

Radiation is listed as "radiation_index" and should return a float

Season is listed as "season" and should return "spring" "summer" "autumn" or "winter"

@Shakyr "beige_turns_left" has been added as a field in the Nation API.
