According to Wikipedia, an An API or "Application Programming interface" is a computing interface which defines interactions between multiple software intermediaries. It defines the kinds of calls or requests that can be made, how to make them, the data formats that should be used, the conventions to follow, etc. [...]Through information hiding, APIs enable modular programming, which allows users to use the interface independently of the implementation.

In our case: Ryzom API is an URL based system to get some Ryzom in-game information like game time, character, guild profile... API changes log can be found on forum.

Basics

Base URL

All requests are using https://api.ryzom.com as base url.

API keys

API keys are 41 alphanumeric characters. Character keys start with 'c' and guild keys with 'g'.
API keys must be created using "RyzomAPI app": https://app.ryzom.com/app_ryzomapi
You must be guild leader or high officer to manage and view guild api key.

PHP API

PHP API library can be found in the ryzomapi_lite repository.

Third party libraries

(PHP) Sheet translations and info about resources can be found from the https://github.com/nimetu/ryzom_extra repository. The json-resources branch has data in JSON format.

  <cache created="1387437183" expire="1387437243"/>
</shard_time>

PHP interface

ryzom_time_api() : Returns SimpleXMLElement or boolean false on failure.

<?php
  require_once "ryzomapi_lite.php";

  $time = ryzom_time_api('xml');
  if ($time !== false) {
    $txt_en = htmlspecialchars($time->txt_en);
    echo "Atys time is {$txt_en}";
  } else {

Cache Duration
