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 and contributing to our GitHub repositories.

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

Side notes;
If you are looking for some easy hosting solution, get over to DigitalOcean, where I host my staff. Use my referral link to support me.

Best regards,
Tobias


Upcoming deprecation of the TibiaData API v3

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 v3.

TibiaData API v3 will be deprecated the 31rd January 2024!

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 v4 to see, which those changes are.

In the update the 1th December 2023, we announced the release of v4. Go check it out here.

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

Regards,
Tobias

TibiaData API v4 released (v4.0.0)

A long waiting is over now.. today it’s finally time some new stuff!

Today we can announce that version 4 of TibiaData API is released!

Through our API, you can have access to an API providing information of characters, guilds, highscores, worlds and a lot more of Tibia.
You can based on the request provided by us build your own clients to retrieve the information you need.

Changes of TibiaData API v4

Since v4 is not a rewrite of TibiaData like we had with v3, the changes are not as large when migrating.

Largest change to the API is the implementation of better error responses, where you don’t get a 200 OK from our servers anymore even if an error occurred. You can find all the corresponding error codes that you can encounter inside the status section.

The structures of responses is slightly different when it comes to information section, where we now include additional information as for instance release version, git commit sha, status and error codes and more.

Head over to our documentation to play around with our API and get your tools migrated to v4.

The documentation

The documentation from v4 has been swagger-generated, so you can easily generate your own TibiaData client to consume our API.

You can find the swagger.json file in our tibiadata-api-docs repository on GitHub.

There is a swagger-documentation page available on https://docs.tibiadata.com, where you can play around.

The code

As mentioned in previous blog posts, TibiaData is now publishing it’s code publicly on GitHub.

Dig around and contribute to our repo to enhance our service.

You can find all our repos under our GitHub organization here.

We’ve also bumped the GitHub release version to match the API version.

Report issues

Report to us, if you find something that is not correct.
Suggest to us, if you are missing some feature and we’ll implement it.

Thank you!

Special thanks to all our contributors to TibiaData and thanks for everyone testing and reporting issues.

Try it yourself!

Kind regards,
Tobias
