Bungie has published the documentation for the new API for Destiny 2 during maintenance on bungie.net. Find out here what changes and what new features we can look forward to.
The API serves as the interface between Bungie’s databases and externally developed tools such as the Destiny Companion App or completely non-Bungie developments. For Destiny 1, there were some fantastic apps like the Ishtar Commander.
All of this would not have been possible without the API released by Bungie. During maintenance, Bungie released the documentation for the API for Destiny 2. In addition to many well-known functions, there are also some new features. Note that Bungie is still actively working on the interface, so changes cannot be ruled out.
Activate Talent Node – Customizing Weapons and Armor?
The term Activate Talent Node has appeared in the API but is not explained in detail. It could refer to the modification of weapon and armor talents, as a Payment or Activation Cost is mentioned. Thus, it can be ruled out that it refers to class talents. In Destiny 1, equipment could only be viewed.
Execute Action – Finally Consume Items via the App
The description of this action is clear; items can finally be used and consumed via the app. This will be particularly beneficial regarding heavy synthesis.
Weekly Clan Rewards
In Destiny 1, detailed information regarding personal weekly progress related to raids, Nightfalls, etc. could be retrieved from Bungie’s databases. In Destiny 2, this now also applies to the progress of the entire clan. Weekly rewards are tied to milestones that can now be tracked live.
There will also be clan leaderboards and dedicated clan statistics.
In addition to these new features, some familiar ones are also included, such as item transfer to and from the vault, character viewing, merchant inventory, and much more. The Grimoire cards will no longer play a role in Destiny 2.
What do you think? Are you looking forward to creations by the Guardians, or are you even coding yourself? Let us know in the comments!
By the way: Bungie has announced during maintenance that the new clan features will be available on bungie.net on the evening of August 24th instead of August 23rd. You can see the new design of Bungie.net here.
Interesting: There was a leak – 15 minutes of gameplay from the European Dead Zone!
