Request additional API's

[stonyarc]

All,

We have a lot of Live services here on XLN.

If you want some translated in new API's this is the thread to request them.

Cheers

Not sure if you currently have this. But looking for the ability to display your xbox live friend list. Is this something you're working on?

[stonyarc]

By default the feeds/data we're getting from Microsoft doesn't contain friends information. So friends is a big no for now.

I'm however working on a friends system for use on XLN (with a special messenger integration) but this is top secret :D

[kalisurfer]

very cool stony. I'm working on a little friend pinger. let/s you know when your friends are online and playing a game you want or have

[stonyarc]

I've been hinting on it a while but I've made a Window Messenger script that allows the Live Core engine to send messages to anybody in the world.

I'm linking it to a friends management system here on XLN.

That way members that use it will get full reports to their desktop about who's comming online, what game and even what level

Or they will have the option to get an automated "today on live" report.

This app will truely rock !

How about adding a parameter to the Online Community Status API to check the online status by gamer tag? Or even the status added to the Gamertag API.

[stonyarc]

That is possible but I would have to limit it to XLN community members only

Good stuff....you just keep the ideas rollin' out.:cool: I'm recruiting everybody I come in contact with to join up with XLN. I've got a bunch of my friends on here and they really enjoy the site.

What about the ability to view all achievements earned by a particular gamertag, as well as details about that achievement? (Game, description, icon, date earned, etc.)

That information is currently not available in the Xbox Community Developer Program.

I only use information that is officially availble to me via that program

That sucks.

Just out of curiosity, what sort of info is available?

Hmmm...so I've been rummaging through the "view, source" of the actual XBL gamer card. I was trying to see how they obtained the tile images for achievements and recently played games...only to find that they had some ungodly long ID for each image.

It would be nice to grab that info along with all the other information from the gamer card D:

For the gamertag API it would be nice to get a simple online/offline status included in the XML feed

I'll add that in the next update
