About

GW2SDK provides classes for interacting with the Guild Wars 2 API and game client. This package enables you to fetch information about the game, the player's account, PvP seasons, WvW matches and the in-game economy. It also provides realtime information from the game client such as the player's current character and the current map.

Key features

  • Gw2Client provides access to the Guild Wars 2 API
  • GameLink provides realtime information from the game client (Windows only)

How to use

You can use the Gw2Client for many different purposes, such as fetching the current prices of all tradable items in the game, or the GameLink to receive realtime information from the game client. Below are some examples of how to use the Gw2Client and GameLink to fetch information about the game and the player's account.

using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using GuildWars2;

namespace PackageReadme;

internal class Gw2ClientProgram
{
    public static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create an instance of the Gw2Client, which depends on HttpClient
        using var httpClient = new HttpClient();
        var gw2 = new Gw2Client(httpClient);

        // Print a table header
        PrintTableHeader();

        // Fetch the current prices of all items
        await foreach (var (itemPrice, _) in gw2.Commerce.GetItemPricesBulk())
        {
            // The item price contains the item's ID, which can be used to fetch the item's name
            var (item, _) = await gw2.Items.GetItemById(itemPrice.Id);

            // Print the item's name and its current highest buyer and lowest seller
            PrintTableRow(item.Name, itemPrice.BestBid, itemPrice.BestAsk);
        }

        void PrintTableHeader()
        {
            /*
            ================================================================================================================================================================
            | Item                                               | Highest buyer                                      | Lowest seller                                      |
            ================================================================================================================================================================
             */
            Console.WriteLine(new string('=', 160));
            Console.WriteLine($"| {"Item",-50} | {"Highest buyer",-50} | {"Low

        void PrintTableHeader()est seller",-50} |");
            Console.WriteLine(new string('=', 160));
        }

        void PrintTableRow(string item, Coin highestBuyer, Coin lowestSeller)
        {
            /*
             | <item>                                             | <highestBuyer>                                     | <lowestSeller>                                     |
             */
            Console.WriteLine($"| {item,-50} | {highestBuyer,-50} | {lowestSeller,-50} |");
        }
    }
}

The GameLink can be used to receive realtime information from the game client. Below is an example of how to use the GameLink to receive information about the player's current character and the current map.

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using GuildWars2;

namespace PackageReadme;

internal class GameLinkProgram
{
    public static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        if (!GameLink.IsSupported())
        {
            Console.WriteLine("GameLink is only supported on Windows!");
            return;
        }

        Console.WriteLine("GameLink is starting! (Ensure the game is running and that you are loaded into a map.)");


        // Pre-fetch all maps from the API, they are used to display the player's current map
        using var http = new HttpClient();
        var gw2 = new Gw2Client(http);
        var (maps, _) = await gw2.Exploration.GetMapSummaries();

        // Choose an interval to indicate how often you want to receive fresh data from the game
        // For example, at most once every second
        // Default: no limit, every change in the game state will be available immediately
        var refreshInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1);
        
        // Open the game link with the chosen refresh interval
        var gameLink = GameLink.Open(refreshInterval);
        
        // Subscribe to the game link to start receiving game state updates
        var subscription = gameLink.Subscribe(
            tick =>
            {
                // Each 'tick' contains information about the player's character and actions, among other things
                var player = tick.GetIdentity();

                // The identity can be missing due to JSON errors, always check for null
                if (player != null)
                {
                    // Use the player's map ID to find the map name in the pre-fetched list of maps
                    var map = maps.Single(map => map.Id == player.MapId);

                    // Print the player's name and current map
                    Console.WriteLine($"[{tick.UiTick}] Your name is {player.Name}.");
                    Console.WriteLine(
                        $"[{tick.UiTick}] You are currently in {map.Name} ({tick.Context.ServerAddress})."
                    );
                    Console.WriteLine();
                }
            }
        );

        // Wait for the user to press Enter
        Console.ReadLine();

        // Stop the data stream and close the game link
        subscription.Dispose();
        gameLink.Dispose();
    }
}
