Ongoing disturbances in our API

We had some disturbances regarding the API to requests experiencing higher response time.

The reason for this was that DigitalOcean have changed their loadbalancers by implementing throttling. In addition to that, the amout of requests has increased by five the last weeks, so therefore we hit the roof without noticing first.. but thanks for reporting the issue, but is now resolved.

Kind regards,
Tobias

Happy New Year

Looking back at 2020, there have been some nice progress on the TibiaData rewrite to Golang.
There have been some things that have to be sorted our, but we are sure that we’ll be in a testing phase in a couple of months.

On a personal there have been some challenges that have not enabled me to work as much as I wanted with the rewrite and I had to prioritize private stuff (obviously).

Anyhow.. new year and new possibilities!

I think we will leave it by this by now and go celebrate with your friends and we’ll keep you updated.

And if you got some questions as to the above or so, get in touch with me and I’m happy to answer it all!

Kind regards,
Tobias

Merry Christmas!

This time of year is the perfect time to lay back a little.

Christmas is a time of giving, and even this year I want to give my gratitude to everyone, who has been reporting bugs over the last year.

I am grateful for all of my users that have and continue to use my API and keep me motivated to continue!

TibiaData API v3 beta delayed

I earlier announced that the v3 beta is supposed to be up and running by now, but there are some issues that need to be addressed first, until you can start testing it.

I’ve received a couple of emails after asking for interest in testing, which is really great! You will get a notification as soon as it’s available 🙂
