GW2Kit

ABANDONMENT NOTICE

ArenaNet has let their APIs die on the vine. After almost 12 months of waiting (and counting), I've lost all interest in this project. Apparently there is a version 2 coming "soon". If it ever does, this project will get rebooted.

What is GW2Kit?

GW2Kit is a Objective-C framework that provides access to the offical Guild Wars 2 API (api.guildwars2.com). It is has support for both iOS and OS X.

Introduction

The Official Guild Wars 2 API was released on May 20th, 2013. Posted by ArenaNet Lead Programmer Cliff Spradlin, it provides third-party application the ability to query real-time, in-game data.

API Availablility

Guild Example

// Get a client...
id<GW2ClientV1> client = GW2ClientV1(nil);

// Find the guild by name...
[[client fetchGuildWithName:@"New Tyrian Order"]
 subscribeNext:^(id<GW2Guild> guild) {
     NSLog(@"%@", guild);
 }];

{
    emblem =     {
        background_color_id = 146;
        background_id = 22;
        flags =         (
        );
        foreground_id = 148;
        foreground_primary_color_id = 11;
        foreground_secondary_color_id = 130;
    };
    guild_id = 6E68F577-CB39-4E1D-ADED-B7C5C39E2315;
    guild_name = New Tyrian Order;
    tag = nTo;
}

Colors Example

// Get a client...
id<GW2ClientV1> client = GW2ClientV1(nil);

// Take the first color we get back...
[[[client fetchColors] take:1]
         subscribeNext:^(id<GW2Color> color) {
             NSLog(@"%@", color);
         }];

{
    base_rgb =     (
        128,
        26,
        26
    );
    cloth =     {
        brightness = 45;
        contrast = 1.25;
        hue = 295;
        lightness = 1.28906;
        rgb =         (
            184,
            141,
            188
        );
        saturation = 0.351563;
    };
    leather =     {
        brightness = 42;
        contrast = 1.28906;
        hue = 295;
        lightness = 1.28906;
        rgb =         (
            171,
            132,
            175
        );
        saturation = 0.3125;
    };
    metal =     {
        brightness = 45;
        contrast = 1.64063;
        hue = 295;
        lightness = 1.48438;
        rgb =         (
            170,
            127,

Using GW2Kit

You can add the GW2Kit framework to your mobile and/or desktop Cocoa applications which meet these requirements:

• OS X: 10.9
• iOS: 7.0+
• Xcode.app: 5.0+

Note: GW2Kit is written using the ARC (automatic reference counting) memory model.

Getting the code

Exploring the source

Framework dependencies

GW2Kit relies on heavily on functional reactive programming (FRP) to perform network requests.

• ReactiveCocoa - functional extensions for Objective-C

Performing tests

GW2Kit's development is test-driven. To run tests, open GW2Kit.xcworkspace, and choose either iOS Tests or OS X Tests. To start, press ⌘+U
