General Info Endpoints The following URL is to be used to access the REST interface: http://census.daybreakgames.com URL Pattern All requests to the REST interface follow a pattern. There are different patterns for different types of data: Game Data: /verb/game/collection/[?queryString] Ex. http://census.daybreakgames.com/get/ps2:v2/character/?character_id=5428018587875812257&c:show=name {"limit":1,"max_ts":1357933355,"min_ts":1357933355,"character_list":[{"id":"5428018587875812257","ts":"1.357933355122906E9","name":{"first_lower":"gixtr2","first":"gixtr2"}}],"internal":false,"milliseconds":2,"returned":1} Game Images: /files/game/images/type/[image_id].png Ex. https://census.daybreakgames.com/files/ps2/images/static/5391.png The REST interface will return all results that match the attributes provided within the query string. The data returned is in the form of a list containing zero or more items from the dataset provided in the URL. When using the XML format, the results will be provided in a parent <{collection}_list> element. In JSON, the results will be in an array ([ ]). If no results are found, this container will be empty. Service ID The service ID is used to identify the customer of the Census API for tracking and quality of service issues. The service ID is an alphanumeric value. All service IDs will be of the format s:<the service id> . For example, here is a query for the world information with the service id (s:example) attached: https://census.daybreakgames.com/ s:example /get/ps2:v2/world/ The service ID should be used when making queries to the Census API. Always use a service ID in your applications, whether they access the Census API from the users client machine or from your server. The IP Address is optional. Providing it allows the Census API to ensure others are not misusing your registered Service ID. To change or update your registered email addresses and IP addresses, please email data-feedback@daybreakgames.com . The service ID "s:example" is available for casual use--it is throttled to 10 requests per minute per client IP address. Please note that Census API requests without valid Service IDs will be throttled and may be completely blocked in the future.
