Maintenance of our service due to migration

Today it’s finally time for a maintenance of our service due to a migration of our hosting provider.

We are moving after being hosted at DigitalOcean since 2016 to Hetzner Cloud.

For those that are more interested into the technical details, here they are:

  • K3s Kubernetes cluster spanning over multiple datacenters
  • ArgoCD is deploying and updating our components in the cluster
  • Kong Gateway Operator is managing our Kong API Gateway
  • DNS has been migrated to Hetzner DNS service
  • TLS termination is handled by Hetzner Load Balancer
  • IPv6 is now available on our service

If you have issues, please contact us on our Discord server or some alternative mentioned on our Contact us page.

Kind 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

You should at most experience a small hiccup when we switch our floating IPs between our servers.

If you have issues, please contact us on our Discord server or some alternative mentioned on our Contact us page.

TibiaData API v3 released (v3.0.0)

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

Today we can announce that version 3 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 v3

Since v3 is a rewrite of TibiaData from PHP to Golang, the difference between v2 and v3 is larger than between v1 and v2.
Therefore we’ll not have a changelog list as we did in last release.

There have also been additions of endpoints like creatures, fansites, killstatistics and more.

Head over to our documentation to play around with our API and get your tools migrated to v3.

The documentation

The documentation from v3 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.

Upcoming improvements

We don’t have any proper error handling yet in addition to some other few minor things.

Therefore there will be some addition in the couple of days, but those will not impact you going from v2 to v3.

There will be separate blog posts when those are being added.

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 Kennedy (aka kamilon) and Pedro for the huge amount of contributions to TibiaData and thanks for everyone testing and reporting issues.

Try it yourself!

Kind regards,
Tobias
