Services return types documentation

[m4rcel]

The current version of the SDK still lacks on detailled information about the return values and their structure. So I take the opportunity to write all of these information into a nice post. Therefore you will find all methods currently available through the SDK and the return values of each of them below. (As TrackMania\WebServices\Foobar is only for testing purposes, this class does not appear in this overview. And as \TrackMania\WebServices\Exception is very intuitive, this class does neither appear.)
If several methods of a class have the same structure in their return value, they have been grouped together and their return structure is listed only once. Whenever an object appears in the return value, the available fields are given with their datatype and what they are standing for.
If you find any errors, please feel free to contact me via PM. I will update the post as soon as I find the time to do so

Nice work, well done. This is, how you make it understandable

[gouxim]

That's cool
I updated the title and sticked the topic.
And also linked on http://code.google.com/p/trackmania-ws-sdk/

[htbplayer]

Big thanks to you Marcel really nice work. Now i can find out who has stolen my maniacode

[m4rcel]

I updated the first post to match the current Version 2.0 Beta 2. There were nearly no changes in the existing classes, so I think it does not hurt having the new overview, although the current version is still Beta

The changes in detail:

• Classes are now listed with their namespace, as introduced in version 2.0.
• The two new classes TrackMania\WebServices\OAuth\Client and ...\Player have been added, helpful for those already testing with the new SDK version
• Wherever the field "united" appeared for a player, I changed its datatype to boolean, which fits more imo. (In the end, everything is actual a string ^^)
• Fixed some mistakes, some "idZone" where stated as "id" and vice versa.
• Some methods of ...\Zones do now have a pathIds field, having the IDs of their parents.

I don't know, if I maybe should add sth. like "Introduced in v2.0" for the new classes and the one new field, to help those working with the old version of the SDK...

In case someone still followes this thread:

Is there a way to get a player´s language? like there doesn´t seem to be something returning this bit $_GET["lang"] from the addplayerid.
As alternative: is there any ressource about which zone has wich language or has maybe even someone written such a function?
Would be quite handy for a current project :/

[gouxim]

Language is only handled client-side, so nop unfortunately the API doesn't have any language-related data to offer.

[m4rcel]

You can get the language of the client (i.e. Maniaplanet) with $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']. If the player uses the English version, this value will be set to "en", if he uses the German version, it will be "de", and so on

[gouxim]

Good point, I forgot about that

[TStarGermany]

Out of curiosity : Is there some way to find out when a player was 1st registered ?
Would be nice to have something like "TM member since 2008-Jul-1st" or so...
