TibiaData cache intervals

I’ve received a lot of questions regarding realtime data and the cache we use on our side.. so I thought that I will give you some more details!

As from v2 of the API, we’ve implemented a cache, to minimize the resources that we use in for example CPU usage and to lower the amount of requests that poll our service on a seconds bases.
We at TibiaData understand that you want the latest latest data, but when receiving that amount of similar requests, we had to limit it somehow.

The cache we use is a memcached daemon, which stores data in the memory to serve the information faster to you.

Here is a list of the different API requests and the corresponding memcached timeouts.

  • Characters = 300 s
  • Guild/Guilds/Guildwars = 120 s
  • Highscore = 900 s
  • House/Houses = 300 s
  • News/Newslist = 900 s
  • World/Worlds = 60 s

Maintenance of our server

Hi there,

Our hosting provider DigitalOceans networking team will be upgrading edge networking equipment to improve performance and reliability, where our service is located.

There is a little impact by this maintenance, which may be a few minutes of increased latency as well as small amounts of packet loss while they shift traffic to redundant devices. They will endeavor to keep this to a minimum for the duration of the change.

Start: 2018-11-01 21:00 UTC

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.
