    • Hi guys.

      From what I know, using this API directly is not recomended and admins stated to first download data from API to our server and then fetch data from there.

      Since direct use of API isn't recomended, I have to make nearly 400,000 requests just to download one entire snapshot.
      Wouldn't it be easier if GF provide gzip'ped data which would eventually reduce data size fetch from over 2GB to 200MB and 400,000 request to just one?


      Source Code

      1. 11M alliances
      2. 188M highscore
      3. 1.0M localization
      4. 1.7G playerData
      5. 22M players
      6. 956K serverData
      7. 197M universe
      8. 956K universes
      10. 423686 files (where each file equals one request to server)

      Ehm, the use of the old xml api is directly allowed and also recommended :o
      The new json api is handled differently and also requires a private api key. This one have to be private, this requests have to be proxied or limited by yourself. :)

    • Hello everybody,

      I have a quick question: am I allowed to load the players.xml and then load the playerData.xml for each and every player in rapid succession? I don't wish to accidently DOS-attack the server. Not really experienced with querying servers and I don't know how much they can take^^

      Anyway, any help greatly appreciated. Cheers

    • Thank you very much.

      I have a problem, though: the universe updates on a monday, a player relocates on a tuesday and i'm trying to save a spy report from a wednesday. How can i connect the report to the planet without keeping and searching the relocation history? The coordinates of the planet have changed, and I don't have the planet id in the report.

      Thank you.

      No. The id of the planet is hidden by design. Sorry :/

    • Hello,

      A lot of problems since this morning regarding XML files: api

      ID alliances have all been changed.

      Example Alliance ID: 14 becomes Alliance ID: 500001

      For informations:
      XML API SK 101 => BUG (1 registered alliance)
      XML API US 131 => BUG (1 registered alliance)



      Inconsistency between the alliance file and the player file

      file :api/alliances.xml

      XML Source Code

      1. <alliance id="500001" name="Planetes Barbares Unifiees" tag="PBU" open="1">
      2. <player id="1003266"/>
      3. </alliance>
      ID alliance: 500001

      file :api/players.xml

      XML Source Code

      1. <player id="1003266" name="rune" status="I" alliance="30"/>
      ID alliance: 30

    • Hello,

      I have a problem with the link .....playerData.xml

      I can't access to the page when I give an ID.

      I take an ID from here:
      s106-fr.ogame.gameforge.com/ap…ore.xml?category=1&type=0
      and try
      s106-fr.ogame.gameforge.com/api/playerData.xml?id=159048
      but it fail.

      And when I remove the ID I get the message

      Source Code

      1. Query parameter "id" must be given.
      2. e.g. playerData.xml?id=12345"

      What am i doing wrong ? ?(

      I'm curious where you got that answer, would you tell me? Also it was nowhere written that the players.xml is fixed. The playerData.xml has been fixed in the latest version.
      There you can also get the correct info:

      XML Source Code

      1. <alliance id="500268">
      2. <name>United Cities of Space WKU</name>

      Not sure where you check but seems like version 6.5.1 fixed it. (please note each server have own version so playerData for one nationality would work and other not because of older version)
