Changelog

3.0.1

24. Mar 25

Changed
  • useFallback parameter accepts "None", "Http", and "Any" values now
    • Previously it was simple bool

      • Other exceptions are likely to be parsing bug and swallowing them may not be desired
Fixed

2.0.0

22. Sep 24

 

Complete revamp of the API. Instead of simply parsing and returning NetStone data, Lodestone data is now mapped onto database entities and cached. Retrieving character data can now return cached data as DTOs, or refresh data from the Lodestone and return as said DTOs.

New
  • Character achievement parsing
  • NetStone entity to database mapping
  • Caching of database entities
    • Character + attributes
    • Character ClassJobs
    • Character Minions
    • Character Mounts
    • Character Achievements
    • Free Company
    • Free Company Memberes
  • NetStone.Api.Client project for easy data retrieval in .NET projects
  • Various unit tests to compare parsed data and data mapped to database entities and DTOs
  • Additional properties in DTOs like whether data is cached, when it was last refreshed, and collection totals + percentages
  • RabbitMQ support for all endpoints
