service link

Are the service links available?

What do you mean by service links?

Hello Gl4di4torRr.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “service links”. Could you please elaborate? Thanks! :wink:

Yeah, so I am wanting to develop and app that will display my CSR. In order to do this, Halo Waypoint should have a service that returns either xml or json with my stats. It’s a web service. Can I access this service? Does this help?

Well, there is the Halo 4 stats app that displays the Halo 4 CSRs for the current playlists, but I don’t know if that’s what you’re looking for.

Okay, I did a little research. In the open source community, I found a couple of projects that make calls to the Halo 4 web service.

Here is one:

They seem to have gained access to these service calls. I just want to make sure that I am allowed access to this service. Halo Waypoint owns the data. I’m not sure how open they are about releasing their data for public use.

Moving this back up… Are the halo web services open to public use? I.e. May I use the halo waypoint data for my own use?

It seems you would need to talk to 343i to resolve this. Would you like me to let them know?

Yes! That would be awesome.

Will 343i respond to me on this forum topic?

moving up until i get response…

> Will 343i respond to me on this forum topic?

It depends. If you sent them a PM, they’ll most likely respond through there. Or if you posted the link in the message, they may respond here. Either way, i hope they respond to your issue, :).

Okay cool. I will just wait and see if they respond.

Considering a lot of 343 are in Germany for Gamescom I wouldn’t be too surprised by a lack of response any time soon.

Also, please don’t bump your thread as that’s considered spam. Thanks!

I don’t think there is a public API for waypoint, but, like the AuntieDot link you found, there are ways to access certain parts of it. I’d love to see 343i open up a public API at some point, I know a LOT of people that could do some amazing things with it.

Awesome! I looked at his code and he is using
https://stats.svc.halowaypoint.com/en-US/players/%s/h4/challenges” % self.waypoint_token.gamertag
which seems to be an open web service. I feel like since it’s a public URL, then halo waypoint wouldn’t mind people using it. Data is always a tricky issue… I have noticed that you must be logged in to view everyones stats… This makes it so people can’t just scrape the data from the web page.
