Q&A for Diablo 3 Hero API
Post: 2012-05-22 13:10:22Diablo 3 Hero API looks like it’s not too far off now as we now have a preview of what it should look like.
Career Profile
The career profile API provides top level (account) career information. This API resource is meant to provide a way to discover the heroes associated with an account as well as the artisan and game progression information for the account. To use the career profile API resource, a URL containing a battletag is crafted and a request is made.
Hero Profile API
Hero profile API resources provide hero specific information including basic information like the name, class, gender and level as well as more complex information like follower information, hero statistics, active skills/powers and items. Unlike the career profile API resource, a hero id is used to craft a URL instead of a battletag.

Here’re some answers to Diablo 3 players questions:
Q: It is late on a Sunday night? Will the AH have API access in a similar manner to WoW? What about achievements?
A: There are no plans to create an AH API (even read-only) for Diablo 3 gold, hardcore gold or real money.
Q: How will the request limits work? Is the "~3000" requests per day going to be shared between the D3 API and the WoW API?
A: The same as with the WoW API. The requests per-day limits will be shared between the APIs as most fansites and applications are game specific (with a few exceptions).
Q: Will Blizzard be implementing an API that is similar to the realm status API for WoW? While there are no "realms", per say, the game servers and AH statuses would be nice to reveal.
A: Yes. Blizzard will have an API resource that provides the status data as it does on http://us.battle.net/d3/en/status
Q: Doesd Blizzard consider adding data resources for rolled items, unrolled items and properties?
A: Items and how they will be represented is still on the drawing board.
Q:Any plans for a search API? Any way we could crawl for accounts to do aggregate statistics?
A:Blizzard hasn't really come up with a good way to provide an index that doesn't compromise privacy or data that it doesn't want to expose. This is something Blizzard is thinking about though.
