XIVPads-LodestoneAPI

An API for parsing lodestone data, designed and maintained by XIVPads.com and XIVDB.com

Requirements

• PHP 5.4 (Function array dereferencing http://php.net/manual/en/migration54.new-features.php)
• CURL Enabled on your Server (use phpinfo() to check this)
• Moderate understanding of Object-Oriented Programming
• 500 Gil

Implemented

• Character Search
• Profile Parse
• Achievement Parse

Todo

• Clean up some code
• Individual Achievement Parse using an Category ID
• Linkshell Parse
• Free Company Parse
• Friend Parse
• Blog Parse

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.

Quick Parse

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

// Parse the character: Premium Virtue - Gungnir
$Character = $API->get("Premium Virtue", "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, I plan to make a standalone function call that can be looped locally.

// Set an ID
$ID = 730968;

// Parse achievements
$API->parseAchievements($ID)

// Show achievements
Show($API->getAchievements());
