P99 API?

[Kittens]

Hi there,
I was wondering if there was some sort of API for P99 to facilitate the construction of a program either in or out of game? Obviously, nothing hacky or cheaty.

Thanks

I would visit the eq emu website (http://www.eqemulator.org/) and start there. You can build your own server and stuff to develop against.

No, there is not. The only thing there might be an API for is the Red leaderboard; I'm not quite sure how that thing works, or if it's even still active.

But otherwise no, if you want data you have to spider the wiki or parse your game logs. If you want live data (eg. how many clerics level > 44 are on), you need to physically log-in, type /who all cleric 45 60, and then have your program read the log file to see the results. If you even automate the /who all cleric 45 60 part that would be in violation of the server rules.

The only way around that is to stand in a zone where the data you want is in public speak. The only place I can think of where you can do that is EC: you can log your character in, go to EC, and then just leave them sitting there, and all the auction chat will go into your log without you needing to automate anything.
