Q: Can this get unequipped gear and mods?

A: No. This api can only access publicly displayed information within the game so any information that is behind a login can not be obtained using it. Information that requires a login includes:

  • unequipped gear
  • unequipped mods
  • resource inventory such as relic materials, ability materials, feature store tokens
  • All running Territory Battle information including member leaderboards, combat logs, progress
  • All running Territory War information including member leaderboards, combat logs, participation
  • active raids

Q: Can this do things for me in the game such as opening bronzium packs or leveling up mods?

A: No. This api only accesses information provided publicly by Capital Games. It will not connect you to any player accounts within the game.

Q: Are there or will there be premium features?

A: No. There may be a way to donate in the future, but there are no plans to monetize the service.

Q: What are the rate limits?

A: This is controlled entirely by CG's policies. From observation, CG limits the total request/responses per public IP per second to ~20, but your mileage may vary. You are responsible for the consequences of abuse, and if you're running this from the same network that you play the game, your traffic from your actual game client will also factor in to the total throughput you consume.

Q: Can I get access to the source?

A: No

Q: Will this ever support things that require logging in?

A: No

Q: Why isn't there a guild API?

A: The guild API currently requires logging in/authenticating as a player, and this tool does not include this, even as an anonymous guest user. We've asked if CG will allow calling the API without logging in, but don't get your hopes up.

Q: Why does it force me to upgrade my client?

A: The client contains a failsafe to force you to update in case 2 major game releases have happened since the version of the client that you're using was published based off of. This is to help ensure that if there are any necessary updates, you will pick them up at least every few months. There's also the possibility that CG will ask for changes to the behavior of the client, which wouldn't be possible if they continued to function indefinitely.
