Something that the might be a good idea for the Tournament API key is to have it show armies that are set as "Is Covert ". and if are able to have some kind of report in the API key when an army is recalled

Hi Koda,

Not sure what that xml snippet was related to, but as far as I know that's absolutely *not* what people want in this limited key, including (as it does) total troop counts, town names, army names, division names, unit types etc.

Regards,

SC

That was part of a faction xml attack on a town

That's not going to happen in the Tournament API as it's an entirely different dataset, format, and functional bucket to combat.

We are looking into producing a diplo key API for all diplomatic unit events including messengers, but that's a way away.  And then we can have a discussion about producing a limited version of it too, as well Smile

I had guess as much it wouldn't be able to add to the Tournament API

Sure, can do.

One observation though, the <personalcombatkey id> will need to have a different value to that returned from the current ‘combatreportsapi’ API, otherwise it would be possible to obtain the <personalcombatkey id> via the new tournament version of ‘combatreportsapi’ and then feed it into the existing ‘combatreport’ API and get the full data set.
Well, any player involved could of course have just supplied their full API key instead, but yup, can do.  

I just don't want any player thinking that because they have supplied a tournament-only API key, they have an expectation that the only data getting shared is what they wanted shared - because that's not necessarily the case.  If I ever hear "But I only supplied my tournament API key... why is all my secret combat info plastered across this tournament summary?", I shall refer said player to you guys to explain the logic behind it Big smile

(X,Y) co-ords from the first API is a good idea, as it will mean you do not have to execute the detailed process for squares you are not interested in (e.g. if someone in the future just wants to run a BL tourney)

 

As it's not needed for this tournament, I won't implement now - esp as the next one may have other requests/refinements.  But I agree that this would be useful.

What will this  limited data Tournament api key show if one of the Faction attack one of the Tournament Squares?

No idea, I'm afraid, but it'd be the same as whatever currently appears in the XML for an attack by a faction (at the listing level) and the same, but slimmed data fields as specified, at the individual report level.

Does anyone have a combat report individual XML link from when they were attacked by a faction that they wouldn't mind sharing publicly?
