24h Treasure-lock & TBM API for developers

Lowfyr · 07-14-2010, 11:46

Today we have implemented another little Update for elitepvpers' The Black Market.

A few weeks ago some members suggested the idea of a time dependent elite*gold lock to prevent scammers.

As usual we've listened to the voice of the community. From now on all Treasures in The Black Market are locked for 24 hours after they were sold. That means that the seller can't use the elite*gold he received for 24 hours.

So you have enough time to report scamming in the elite*gold support forum to get your elite*gold back.

Furthermore we have added an TBM API for all the developers in our community. After entering a secret word which you should keep secret (Who would have thought it?), you have the possibility to retrieve your transactions in the JSON data format to devolp your own applications (e.g. shop integrations)

Meanwhile some of you will have noticed that we have removed the possibilty of paying with Paypal. We did that because there was more credit card fraud lately.

As an replacement we have integrated MoneyBrookes which have the problem better under control.

If you find errors we are happy about every Bug-Report. You can send us a report in the Complaint Area or direct here in the topic.

Thats it, have a good stay on elitepvpers and much fun with the new features.

A small example, that shows how to use the API with pure JavaScript.

PHP Code:


			
function CreateXMLHttpRequest()
{
    try 
    {
        // Mozilla, Opera, Safari sowie Internet Explorer (ab v7)
        return new XMLHttpRequest();
    } 
    catch(e) 
    {
        try 
        {
            // MS Internet Explorer (ab v6)
            return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
        } 
        catch(e) 
        {
            try {
                // MS Internet Explorer (ab v5)
                return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
            } 
            catch(e) 
            {
                return null;
            }
        }
    }
}

var transactions;
var user_id = 'YOURUSERID';
var transaction_type = 'received'; //received, sent or all
var secretword = 'YOURSECRETWORD';
var transaction_date = new Date();
var xmlHttp = CreateXMLHttpRequest();

if(xmlHttp)
{
    xmlHttp.open('GET', 'http://www.elitepvpers.de/theblackmarket/api/transactions.php?u=' + user_id + '&type=' + transaction_type + '&secretword=' + secretword, true);
    xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if(xmlHttp.readyState == 4)
        {
            transactions = eval('(' + xmlHttp.responseText + ')');
            
            if(transactions.length > 0)
            {
                for(var i = 0; i < transactions.length; i++)
                {
                    transaction_date.setTime(transactions[i]['dateline'] * 1000);
                    console.log('---------------------------------------------');
                    console.log('Transaction ID: ' + transactions[i]['eg_transactionid']);
                    console.log('EG Amount: ' + transactions[i]['amount']);
                    console.log('Received From: ' + transactions[i]['eg_fromusername'] + '(' + transactions[i]['eg_from'] + ')');
                    console.log('Transation Date: ' + transaction_date.toLocaleString());
                }
            }
        }
    };
    xmlHttp.send(null);
}

The same example using JavaScript and the jQuery Framework.

PHP Code:


			
var user_id = 'YOURUSERID';
var transaction_type = 'received'; //received, sent or all
var secretword = 'YOURSECRETWORD';
var transaction_date = new Date();

if(jQuery)
{
    $.getJSON('http://www.elitepvpers.de/theblackmarket/api/transactions.php?u=' + user_id + '&type=' + transaction_type + '&secretword=' + secretword, function(transactions){
       if(transactions.length > 0)
            {
                for(var i = 0; i < transactions.length; i++)
                {
                    transaction_date.setTime(transactions[i]['dateline'] * 1000);
                    console.log('---------------------------------------------');
                    console.log('Transaction ID: ' + transactions[i]['eg_transactionid']);
                    console.log('EG Amount: ' + transactions[i]['amount']);
                    console.log('Received From: ' + transactions[i]['eg_fromusername'] + '(' + transactions[i]['eg_from'] + ')');
                    console.log('Transation Date: ' + transaction_date.toLocaleString());
                }
            }
    });
}
