Blizzard API Integration (Python)
def fetch_character_stats(name):
"""Fetch character stats from Blizzard API."""
api_url = BASE_URL.format(name=name)
response = requests.get(api_url, headers=HEADERS)
if response.status_code == 200:
return response.json()
else:
print(f"Error fetching {name}: {response.status_code}")
return None
# Process battleground statistics
for character in characters:
stats = fetch_character_stats(character)
if stats and "pvp_map_statistics" in stats:
for bg in stats["pvp_map_statistics"]:
battleground_name = bg["world_map"]["name"]
match_stats = bg["match_statistics"]
Dynamic Dashboard Generation (PHP)
// Query database for character statistics
$wowToons = $db->query("SELECT * FROM characters ORDER BY honorable_kills DESC");
$bgStats = $db->query("
SELECT b.id, b.name AS battleground, SUM(cb.played) AS total_played
FROM character_battleground_view cb
JOIN battlegrounds b ON cb.battleground_id = b.id
GROUP BY b.id
ORDER BY total_played DESC
");
// Generate dynamic sidebar navigation
foreach($wowToons as $toon):
echo htmlspecialchars($toon['name']) . " - " . htmlspecialchars($toon['honorable_kills']);
endforeach;
Interactive Charts (Chart.js)
new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ['Alterac Valley', 'Warsong Gulch', 'Arathi Basin'],
datasets: [
{ label: "Wins", data: [45, 32, 28], backgroundColor: "green" },
{ label: "Losses", data: [12, 18, 15], backgroundColor: "red" },
{ label: "Played", data: [57, 50, 43], backgroundColor: "blue" }
]
},
options: { responsive: true, scales: { y: { beginAtZero: true } } }
});
