I think it is sufficient that this information is in serverData.xml

If you want to know the label / name of a universe, just query its serverData.xml - having this info in universes.xml is not necessary imho

I agree that: it is not impossible to retrieve the information... But inserting the label in the total list of servers avoids creating unnecessary traffic by recalling every single server XML to get an information.
Example: an HTML select consisting of the number + label of the servers...
I adapt to the standard process, thanks to everyone.

I agree with you @vld
It’s more like a design error in my opinion.

There are other things that logically thinking do not make sense, like having to do this excesive calls or what I mentioned in my last post.

Things like this made me create a new API proposal (REST). But to be totally honest, this is not a priority and if it’s going to change some day, it will take a long time until we see results.

Hi,

Would it be possible to get the API to validate against its own schema? Example
If you press the validate button, you will get this error: Not well formed: The prefix "xsi" for attribute "xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation" associated with an element type "serverData" is not bound. This means it doesn't know what to do with the xs: namespace. Having this fixed would be nice and should be easy.

Hello, i was wondering if there was a request limit in a period of time for fetch XML Data ?
Because i want to retrieve playerData.xml for each player of a universe, for every universe, but i dont want to have my IP addresse black listed for that

I have the same problem for 3-4 weeks.

Hm, I don't think that there is such a limit. But as usual: Be nice, don't open too many connections, and be fault tolerant. I request every available data, but I do this only once per file in the validity period. See OStats / PoC collecting every xml api endpoint

Once a day I download alliances.xml, universe.xml, players.xml, couple times a day highscore.xml for all countries and servers.
