HaloDotAPI shutting down

There are also mods here but I don’t know whether they are staff or volunteers.

Just going to voice my disappointment at this. Sure, stat tracking is one reason to use the API, but there are countless more reasons. The community that I help run is built on custom game matches. Having information-driven features automatically input from the game itself allows our players to track their performance within the community events, not just overall statistics from matchmaking. We planned on using this to build feature-rich tools for team matchups, event attendance, etc. To do these things manually is tedious and will lead to community leader burnout. I wish these API endpoints could stay up, or 343 could bring out their own officially supported API at least in the same capacity that they had in Halo 5.

Halo tracker will work fine. Just the medals chest won’t work which is kinda wack but still atleast we have HT which is what I thought everybody used. I didn’t even know some of these other sites existed. Idk why these ppl are so devastated about 1 site when Halo trackers probably way better

Halo Tracker is great.

The site I use the most though is Halo Data Hive. I’m going to miss that one a lot.

Still don’t understand why we don’t have a public API. It’s supposedly hindered by Microsoft’s privacy policies… but the game already has a privacy setting!

Interesting how Microsoft & 343 limits players in this way. Kind of ridiculous as to how a game like Infinite doesn’t have a set in stone API for public use.
