Hey folks,

Battle.net's API team is considering making some changes to this forum, but before we do anything drastic we want to reach out to you, the community, to get your thoughts and feedback. The change we're considering is migrating from game-specific API forms to a new set of API forums on the root Battle.net site (found here).

From the API team this would consolidate discussions in a single location and hopefully make it easier for us to stay on top of discussions. As it stands, having the conversation split out really only makes staying in touch harder than it should be.

Further, a lot of the questions and comments on the game-specific forums cover common topics (how many requests can I make, can I make money off of my thing) or to raise common issues (item XYZ is missing, mount ZYX is broken). We think that having these conversations in one location can help community developers service each other a little bit better.

Again, we want to hear from you before we move forward. Please share whatever thoughts, questions, or concerns you have regarding this possible change.

Yep Omegal is right, this is ONLY for web API forums!

Just tell us when the API is being shut down or going paid only.


There are no plans to shut the API's down (quite the opposite) and no plans to make them paid only.
