Upcoming deprecation of the TibiaData API v1

In order to continue to provide great API to you all while implementing new features without breaking things, we need to deprecate the TibiaData API v1.

TibiaData API v1 will be deprecated the 30rd April 2018!

Because the changes and improvements we do can be disruptive, we provide as much advance notice as we can so that you can be ready to make any necessary transition.
So go check out the documentation for the API v2 to see, which those changes are.

In the update the 15th December 2017, you can see a full changelog comparing the v1 and v2. Go check it out here.

Thank you for all the support and love to our API!

Regards,
Tobias

Maintenance of our server

Hi there,

Our hosting provider DigitalOcean has adjusted their droplets and based on that, we’ve migrated to the new server. This will increase resources to provide an even better service for you!

Our server will be impacted by this maintenance, so during a short period, our API won’t respond.

Start: 2018-01-28 18:00 UTC
End: 2018-01-28 18:03 UTC

Urgent maintenance of our server

Hi there,

Our hosting provider DigitalOcean will perform an urgent software upgrade impacting a subset of physical machines. In most scenarios, this upgrade occurs seamlessly, with no impact to our TibiaData server, however they have identified that a very small number of upgrades require manual intervention and may result in a brief server downtime.

Our server may be potentially impacted by this maintenance.
