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 possibility but as a necessity and it should only be a matter of “when” and not “if”.
I encourage other users to hop in with their own feedback and I hope this gets to the development team at some point.
Most likely the issue why we dont have an api is because the game is developed by smilegate and the api is written in relation to the KR Servers of Smilegate.
The AWS Servers dont have an API / Interface yet that would allow the same kind of things.
And to add to this. The most things you are mentioning are either in the game or if you think of dps meter not wished.
As this is the first topic that shows when searching for “API”, I wanted to add my take on it.
There is already a functional API for Lost Ark, at least in terms of character info, made by Amazon. Unfortunately, it’s currently locked behind the Twitch extension and it’s authentication.
The endpoint URL is http://cache.lostark.games.aws.dev/<server>/profile/<user-id> and with the proper authentication you can get a neat JSON with all the information of the character as you can see in the image below.
By the looks of it, it looks pretty complete, from equipment to build, it seems to have everything that a community could wish to be able to create amazing tools.
Now, we just need to lobby to Amazon to open up the API to all the devs! I really hope they do it!
I leave you with the JSON from the image here so you can browse it and imagine the possibilities!
Well, what you see is what you get. This was made to be displayed in a Twitch Extension, and I doubt Una reputation status would be something that would be interesting to check while watching someone. There might be other endpoints, but that’s the only one I know, and that’s the whole information that was there.
I’d be so hype for this. Unfortunately with how things are going around here lately I can’t imagine AGS releasing API anytime soon. But I will gladly eat my words
Thanks for this! I do have a question on what the “proper authentication” here would be, and what user-id I’m supposed to use. Is this a string value of my steam ID? and how can I pass the auth to the url here?
