requesting information from server, little project
By RainyNight February 18, 2015, 22:01:26hello. If I make application that asks things from server, about what is sold on market of nations, is it okay, or considered fiding holes in system/hacking. or, how should I approach this thing. I wanna make an application about wakfus economy, thing that analyzes it and maybe is able to predict something simple. is this acceptable, or should I just forget whole idea?
I am not experienced coder, but I know something, yes...
why on earth I wanna do it? I love fictional economies. real life trade is bit boring. I am not trying to create dusty stock market filled with greedy people trying to legally rob/destroy/be major menace to their surroundings. I kinda wanna make something like beautifull temple...
tl:dr
can I request stuff from wakfu server with own application without getting black listed/ankama thinking I am poking for holes in system?
Ankama is a french company, so unless you know french you will have a hard time trying to get premision.
I know french people can be bit difficult, but I doubt it is that bad with Ankama. They are big company... refusing to speak english? o_O
What I dont get here?
the probability of a dev reading this thread is better if you post in the french forum.
Just do it man, forget all the rest
It isnt an exploit, bot or hack. It wouldnt be so diferent from Wakfu elements and such stuff
Dont worry
It depends entirely on what you're trying to create and retrieve.
But since it's regarding the economy, that should be fine. Wakfu-Elements and probably a few other websites have done so before, without intervention from Ankama.
Just be prepared to check and update it regularly if you get it working.
login protocols have changed repeatedly with almost every patch over the last 6 months.
best bet would be to post on french forums also , devs check here rarely. but if they do approve you, it'll show some interaction between them and players
