Pinned OGame API

Dark Sky · Apr 21st 2015, 10:20pm

open the api file. at the beginning there is a timestamp of the last update

blackwolf · Apr 22nd 2015, 5:22am

im sorry but im not familiar with xml nor know how to read it
trying doing a bit of research but came to nthn.
so can someone just tell me what it is?

this is the api: s101-en.ogame.gameforge.com/api/universe.xml

timestamp="1429616557"

and does it update same time every week?

thank you

you can convert the timestamp to a date for example on onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm

your timestamp corresponds to this date : Tue, 21 Apr 2015 11:42:37 GMT .

the update interval should be exactly 7 days so the next api update should be around 28th of april, 11:42 GMT.

Like Dark Sky says it should be update every week at te same time.
In my experience that's never the case, my tool checks the Last-Modified date of the file every time and waits for it to change.

Wherefore would you like to use this?

blackwolf · Apr 22nd 2015, 1:13pm

you mean universe view? (i have it already)
and yes lately they showed me the "Update Galaxy" notification

i have them all, but im tracking a few players that relocated, and i wanna know EXACTLY when i can reliably pinpoint their planet locations.
i prefer to Ctrl+F on the api page

do it manually old style xD

There is no fixed timestamp for an Update.
The condition is, that you have to wat at least 7 days for an update.
If that 7 day countdown is complete, the api will get updated with the first request that is done on the xml file.

So the time that is nearest to the "exact" update point is -> existing timestamp + 7 days.

Hi, i tried to request the API page from my site topraider.

I got this error :

XMLHttpRequest cannot load s123-fr.ogame.gameforge.com/api/players.xml. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://topraider.eu' is therefore not allowed access.

Do I need an authorisation ??
Or did i something wrong ?

No you didn't do anything wrong

That's normal and I think OGame won't change that.

When requesting certain files from other domains via XHR they'll return this CROS origin error.
Some sort of safety issue.
You should be able to solve this by using a proxy page on your website, haven't tried it but it could work.
Example:
You request a PHP script on your site which gets the OGame API via cURL and returns that data.

benneb · Aug 6th 2015, 8:43pm

you must request with PHP , not JS

vulca · Aug 7th 2015, 9:23pm

Yes it works in php !

But the funtion simplexml_load_file($url) in the first post, don't seems to works
I used the curl_XXXX function like for the CR API

Hi!

Since 6.x.x is rolled out, have there been changes to the API? Handy to know for a project I'm planning on creating.

Thanks for your response in advance!

Sincerely,
Dagor

There is no change in the V5 API.

Only some new one for CR/harverst/spy/missile ;=

for CR $path ='combat/report';
for spy $path ='spy/report'; ?
if yes, why the result 6001?

Endpoints:

Source Code

combat/report
spy/report
recycle/report
missile/report

So 6001 shows you that the supplied espionage report key is wrong.

why the sr-ru-111-5e1d08c25cc5aba3f741aff6afd564e322e30feb is wrong?

NoMoreAngel · Oct 17th 2015, 12:41am
