Things which are missing in the API.

[kremsy]

Hello Guys,

Thanks for the nice API!

\Maniaplanet\WebServices\Servers
You are getting the next 15 maps as $item->mapsList but it would be much nicer if you can get a list of all Maps on the server, if not than it should be added at least with the map which is currently running.

Maniaplanet\WebServices\Rankings
You get a path of the Players $player->player->path but its only World|Europe / World|North America, there should be the complete path until the city where the player comes from. and the $player->player->idZone is also only a id for the Continent.

More requests will coming soon, other developers should also feel free to post more things which are missing in this topic.

More is a bad idea. Imagine a server with thousands of maps, it will cost a lot to send the data from the dedicated to the master server, store it on the master server and send it to API users for nothing because it'll be useless to have such a long list.
I don't know about the current map, but if it's indeed not included then it should.

Things that may be missing :

- Merged server list with all enviro (a GET with two params : page and limit would be perfect).
- Player list with a pagination (a GET with two params : page and limit would be perfect).
- Competition list
- Retrieve a player with its id

And that's already enough.

This list would be too big to be synchronized.
Because of the different levels of cache, the current map would be always different from the real current map...

I'm not sure to know which function you are talking about.
If you use getMultiplayerPlayer($login) you will have an array with the ranks in each zone: http://pastebin.com/2wYvxDG4

- Merged server list with all enviro (a GET with two params : page and limit would be perfect).

I have put the "environment" variable back. It will be available on next WS update.
See: http://code.google.com/p/maniaplanet-ws ... Serverlist

- Player list with a pagination (a GET with two params : page and limit would be perfect).

Humm, I don't see any use can except flooding user with notification or else

- Competition list

Planned. For now you can iterate on all IDs and check for 404s ( )

- Retrieve a player with its id

The "id" of a player is its login. Any other ID shouldn't be public and nothing in the API will use this as an entry point.

any chance that \Servers->getFilteredList can be filtered by a specific custom game mode as well?
currently only the nadeo modes and "-1", "-2", "-3" are working

Thx

- Player list with a pagination (a GET with two params : page and limit would be perfect).

That's for a specific website, where you can browse the global user list.

- Competition list

Planned. For now you can iterate on all IDs and check for 404s ( )

My bad, i will be over my limit in few secs Btw, there is no method to simply get a competition detail. Could be interesting to get one

@calaagree:
your post is really misleading with all the quotes outside of [quote]-tags

about the missing filters:
you can't get all servers with one request anyways, because you only get 20 servers max
i know it needs slightly more effort but there isn't really a difference in the performances of going through all environments or getting all servers at once because in the end you have more or less the same amount of requests
(don't know if i explained it clear enough ^^)
pro-tip: the filter [title=""] returns ALL servers of all title packs (probably a bug^^)

For my website, I don't really understand why getOwnedTitles() and getInstalledTitles() are only available in maniaconnect with a title scope. Scopes are here to protect private information of players and I think titles are not a private information.
This lack constrains us to request ranking on every game to see if the player got a ladder rank on it. Due to this, I must renounce to the idea of creating an overall player information page.
If you can't implement an overall ranking request, then titles should be in general get() response.

Actually they are. What if you install a title "My Little Pony" (for example) and don't want others to know?

[schtroumf]

I misspoke, I was speaking about owned games and not owned titles (I don't want everybody knows my title "Barbie world" )
