Getting Started

The API is heavily object-oriented. It will parse the Lodestone for information and attach this to a entity type object, for example searching a character and parsing the profile will create a character object pre-filled with the profile information where you can call traditional "get" functions.

IMPORTANT Please read this commit: https://github.com/viion/XIVPads-LodestoneAPI/commit/d317664c97ec200d1447da6bcdfe5b730e613127

Quick Parse

// Initialize a LodestoneAPI Object
$API = new LodestoneAPI();

// Parse the character: Premium Virtue - Gungnir
$Character = $API->get(array(
  "name" => "Premium Virtue", 
  "server" => "Gungnir"
));

// Print character portrait
echo '<img src="'. $Character->getPortrait() .'" />';

Search Character

// Search the character: Premium Virtue - Gungnir, with exact matching
$API->searchCharacter("Premium Virtue", "Gungnir", true);

/* The getSearch object will contain an array with the following data:
 * 'total' - The total number of results found
 * 'results' - The list of results found
 * If the 3rd param "Exact" is true, it will attempt to find an exact match
 * if one is found, it will be the only result at index [0] of 'results'
 */
Show($API->getSearch());

Parse by ID

// Set an ID
$ID = 730968;

// Parse profile
$API->parseProfile($ID);

// Select character
$Character = $API->getCharacterByID($ID);

Parse multiple IDs

IMPORTANT: Depending on your servers distance from Japan and the bandwidth speed, parsing multiple characters at the same time can lock down your server and it may crash. I recommend using a buffer or flush to stock the collected data

// Set an ID
$IDList = array(730968, 123456, 098765)

// Loop through ID list and parse all characters
foreach($IDList as $ID)
{
  // Parse profile
  $API->parseProfile($ID);
}

// Print all character objects
Show($API->getCharacters());

// Select a specific character (in this case, the $IDList index 0)
$Character = $API->getCharacterByID($IDList[0]);

Parse Achievements

This will take a significant amount of time to complete as it is looping through all achievement categories.

// Set an ID
$API = new LodestoneAPI();

// Parse achievements
$API->parseAchievements(730968);

Show($API->getAchievements());

You can parse a specific category by doing:

// Lodestone
$API = new LodestoneAPI();

// Set category id
$CategoryID = 2;

// Parse achievement by category
$API->parseAchievementsByCategory($CategoryID, 730968);

// Get achievements
Show($API->getAchievements()[$CategoryID]);

Parse Free Company

Parse a free company works the same way as characters. The functions to fetch this data allow an config array to be passed with the settings you wish to use. Currently only 1 setting added, this is because the larger free company you parse, the longer it will take and you may wish to not parse members, so by default full member information is not fetched.

Options

• "members" [true, false] - default false.

$FreeCompany = $API->getFC(
[
	"name" 		=> "call for help", 
	"server" 	=> "excalibur"
],
[
	"members"	=> true,
]);
Show($FreeCompany); // returned object

// echo general info
echo $FreeCompany->getName();
echo $FreeCompany->getSlogan();

// Members List
Show($FreeCompany->getMembers());

The options for getFC are optional, the example below will parse free company but not fetch members.

$FreeCompany = $API->getFC(
[
	"name" 		=> "call for help", 
	"server" 	=> "excalibur"
]);
Show($FreeCompany); // returned object

Parse Linkshell

Parse a linkshell works the same way as characters/FC.

$Linkshell = $API->getLS(
[
	"name" 		=> "derp squad", 
	"server" 	=> "excalibur"
]);
Show($Linkshell); // returned object

// echo general info
echo $Linkshell->getName();
echo $Linkshell->getServer();

// Members List
Show($Linkshell->getMembers());
