Ok, thanks a lot for your answer! Do you know how frequently it updates? Because it doesn’t seem to update so often. Is this something you can affect or is that impossible?

Thanks!

Hi Mattais, thanks for the question. Unfortunity there is not a way to only retrieve a certain amount of info as of right now. I am currently working on a way to accomplish this.

The problem is that Duncan’s API retrieves all info related to the gamertag and allowing you to show what you want. The API needs to be updated to allow you to only retrieve values you want rather than giving you everything and making you hide or show what you want.

One way around this would be to load the API once then have the server cache it for 20 or 30 min. That way, every page load wouldn’t take forever, just the initial one.

This was really nice, thanks a lot! I have a question though (someone else asked it above, but I couldn’t find any answer):

I use it on my website, a Fifa 10 League dedicated site, and I have now coded so the users can see their opponents XBL status. However, the page takes so much time to load, is it possible to only retrieve the Online/Offline information so it takes less time to load?

Thanks!!!

Is there any possible way to get this to run as a signature on a forum? You know…so people can simply see whether or not you are online? (sorry…not very technologically inclined) Thanks. Josh

Yeah, its weird. Sometimes it updates perfectly yet other times it takes forever.
