eRepublik feed urls and API information.

[AndraX2000]

These are the current correct feeds:
http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/citizens/{USER_ID}
http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/citizens/{USER_NAME}?by_username=true
http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/countries
http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/countries/{COUNTRY_ID}
http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/regions/{REGION_ID}
http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/companies/COMPANY_ID}
http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/market/{INDUSTRY}/{QUALITY}/{COUNTRY}
http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/exchange/{BUY}/{SELL}
http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/battle_logs/{BATTLE_ID}/{PAGE}
http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/war/{WAR_ID}

Note: {PAGE} number starts at 0 (zero) in the battle feed.

More information about the API is available at http://api.erepublik.com/ but it is a little wrong. You can join the Google group listed there without an invitation. The API PDF has incorrect feed urls throughout, but is still useful if you wish to use oAuth or Gold transfer.

Has there been any more mention when the gold transfer will go live and actually allow API users to utilize it?

The API-scene is going to get a little crazy when that happens.

Thank you for posting this. I've been struggling with a minor API project for some time now, and I was getting sick of errors popping up.

[AndraX2000]

They haven't given us a date, but Lucian says they've put all work on feeds on hold so they can concentrate on oAuth and Gold transfer.

That's good news. I have some ideas, but they're not really worth working on until that module goes production.

Is there a battle feed? How do people know that eUK did 23k damage in X battle and eCanada did 78k, etc....

[SonnyD]

It breaks down total damage by country after the battle is over.  You can view it in game.

http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/exchange/{SELL}/{BUY}

I think it's actually http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/exchange/{BUY}/{SELL}

[AndraX2000]

You are right. Thanks. I corrected it in the first post.

Total damage in war is shown in game. It isn't battle damage.

There is no battle feed. We calculate it. Enjoy...

and now there is

 - citizenship was implemented in citizen feed

- there are 2 new feeds related to battles
1) www.api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/battle_logs/{BATTLE_ID}/{PAGE}
This feed will output battle logs related to the battle and small info about the battle, data is sorted by fight date ascending, which means higher the page more recent the battle logs.
2) www.api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/war/{WAR_ID} - it will output an xml with a small info regarding the active war and all active battles. All battles will have a list of battle log links related to the battle log feed mentioned earlier.
Important: these new feeds are only in xml format.


They're pretty cool, you can also back track to the War feed for RW's using the battle log feed.

Kind of interesting that there is in fact a war page for RW's though it does auto-redirects to the battle.

[AndraX2000]

www.api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/battle_logs/{BATTLE_ID}/{PAGE}

Note that page numbers start at 0 (zero), not at one.

cool!

[Abayarde]

I'm working on a secret squirrel VBA Script that would use this feed:

http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/exchange/{BUY}/{SELL}

But it only shows the top 10 offers, is there a way to show more than that?

[AndraX2000]

Unfortunately, no. Only the first 10 offers are available in the feed.

[eric424]

It says that the pages do not exist =/

[Blazix]

It says that the pages do not exist =/

Which URL did you try?
BTW, Remember, you need to replace {USER_ID} etc with actual values.

Question:

Importing it directly into a gdoc spreadsheet:

=ImportXML("http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/citizens/1502411","QUERY")

What should I be querying for.

I know that the one for prices is "records/record/offers"

I'm not quite sure what citizen info is.

Thanks in advance.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on GDocs, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

All I can really do is steer you in the right direction here as I have zero experience with google spreadsheets API and I have no idea how to construct a URL to even test this out.

It looks as if you need to use an xpath path expression (http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_syntax.asp) to specify which nodes/elements you want to extract from the document that is returned by the eRep API. Wish I could help more, if I new what the URL should look like for someone who is already auth'd with spreadsheets I could test some paths. Load up the citizen XML document and read that page I posted. I can't begin to offer an example without being able to test it.

ok so i was really bored for the last few hrs or so i starting playing around with it for the query section use
"//citizen"

so the most basic one would be:
=ImportXML("http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/citizens/1323967", "//citizen")

if you want to specify to lets say strength you would make it
=ImportXML("http://api.erepublik.com/v1/feeds/citizens/1323967", "//citizen/strength")

im not sure of all of the specifications but im sure they are not the most difficult to figure out

Do you have to scrape to get a list of candidates for Congress before the election? I'm assuming one must, since I do not see it in citizen, region, or country feeds. Excuse me if this question has been answered.

Yes.

This is a page of all the pre-election links in the eUS, which can be useful for doing manual research. http://erep.thepenry.net/preelection.php

The election tool I wrote for the UIP is slow and annoying, but legal. The day of the election, I manually visit every region election page in the US and view source. Then I copy and paste it into my tool, which parses it and updates the page. Once I've done that, I only need to parse the country election page to update the votes. I do it manually, because scraping violates TOS.

I assume the other election tools out there (http://ea.liberwing.com/index.php?act=elections) are scraping and violating TOS, as it would take a lot of work to do the entire world manually.

[Killing Time]

pff... TOS 

All they do is ban your IP for a little while. That is, if you're scraping like a mad man. The lesson being: be sure to scrape from a remote location. And not too often.
