" In 2002, Jeff Bezos issued what is now known as the API mandate: The new direction at Amazon would be that all capabilities would have to be designed and exposed as APIs . This is an early version of what we today call API First."
Seems to fit amazon’s culture. And I assume it is not going to be a problem with SG either as they exposed the API in kr.

My thinking exactly!
Amazon is very good about providing technical resources for developers thus far, so I assume they’d want to do the same for their gaming division.
The value added to the product by providing an API would be insane.
That being said, New World also wanted an api pretty badly but I don’t think it ever came to fruition.

Is anything in the plans that players actually want? “At a faster rate than Korea” and “not in our current plans” are starting to sound like the go-to for everything this version is missing…

What sort of feedback are you looking for?
A thread dedicated to players replying as a sort of petition maybe?
If you could create an official one, that may help us collectively request it in a more formal manner.

Bump for public API.
Should we create a separate post to have this more known in the community along with all the benefits in it?

How much feedback exactly?
There are more links than this btw. These are just a few of them.
Hello I am here to make a case for the incredibly importance and utility a public API could bring to the western version of Lost Ark.
Roxx has recently stated that a possible public API is on the table and could potentially come in the future. We have already seen it is functioning but is private (Twitch Armory Extension).
Many people do not really know the actual value it can bring to the playerbase so I am here to just layout some examples of what the things Korea can do with their public AP…
I’m not sure if there is any interest in the western community for the Lost Ark web API.
Personally, I use Korean sites to get ideas for builds, e.g. https://loawa.com/rank . This is not manually entered data, it is directly obtained from the Lost Ark servers via web API.
The translation often doesn’t match our in-game terms, but the images/symbols are good to work with as they are identical. The rest of the language barrier can be solved by any modern browser with more or less understandable t…
Hello, I haven’t really scoured the forums yet, but I’d like to ask if Amazon plans to release/develop an API for developers to create public tools for the game. I would really like to start working on something like World of Warcraft’s armory and possibly other tools like progress trackers etc.
I believe that the Korean version of Lost Ark does have an API for these purposes and I really can’t stress enough how important these things are for the community and shouldn’t really be discussed as a…
Message to the CM’s at AGS. I know you have responded about letting the right people know that the community wants public API. But do you we can get cinsistant updates on it and if we should expect it soon or if in list of priorities it’s very far down the line. I feel like its a really important thing to have. Releasing the API is like releasing an infinite nunber of QoL changes, it takes stress and work off of AGS and allows community members to create sources that really benefit the communit…
We need the market API in EU/NA. With how messed up gold inflation / deflation is right now people are still selling accessories way overpriced because of the popularity of classes. Having access to the API which will allow people to create websites such as https://loa.icepeng.com to check for the cheapest way to get your engravings without having to use books would be a blessing. Even being able to browse the market while not logged in and potentially buying items would be great.
Is this somet…
Can we get an API for the game pls?
i mean we currently only have the one on twitch but i really would love to have an API like they do in korea so we can share builds so ppl can help for example.
Hi!
Is there an Open API for the game or any way to access some of the data? I would love to make some community tool for the game or at least make it play around with some Item data / builds / theory crafting.

yes please this would help so much
allowing players to check out top builds
improve AH functions especially accessories with access to the API to help the process of min/maxing engravings
API would be great.

We clearly need 100 more threads to show more feedback.

Atleast 100 more! Make it 200 to be sure, because the 20ish that we have aren’t enough.

In KR, the search using AH API can easily find the cheapest accessories to redo your engravings.

I’m pretty sure that in the history of MMOs, there has never been a playerbase that said “nah, hold the API please”. Many of us have already seen the great tools that KR fans have come up with to where they don’t even use the in-game auction house search at all…

It’s probably already in the client and it’s just disabled.

Thanks for the update Roxx!
From what I have heard about the Market API, I would be very interested in getting access to it as soon as possible!

Exactly how much feedback is needed? Perhapse there could be an API to sort out the “yes”, “obviously” and “duh” responses.

I would sacrifice my firstborn for the release of the API so some genius can whip up a site to help people plan out their buys.
Is that enough feedback?

If there is enough feedback? Do we need to ask for every little quality of life feature KR has in order to get it? Do we have to show interest in each specific new class in order to be given them?
Can we just get the things that provide an objectively better experience for every player without having to ask for it? Can you guys fight for us without us having hound you constantly about every minor improvement we’d like to see?
Maybe we can get some people on board that actively play the game enough to have a fair understanding of what the playerbase would want without having to ask for every little improvement.

The AH API is one of the best QoL (if not the best) i’ve seen in this game. We desperatly need it.
@Roxx dear, pls do some magic
