This repository contains an automated backup of all static collections in the PlanetSide 2 API.
This repository is automatically updated at 06:00, 12:00, 18:00, and 24:00 UTC.
The backup script paginates each collection and aggregates the contents of the <collection>_list payload key into a JSON list.
This list is then saved to the corresponding data/<collection>_list.json file.
If you wish to emulate API responses, you have to manually add the outer payload containing keys like results, <collection>_list, or timing.
This backup only contains static API data, i.e. data that is not expected to change within a given build of the game.
As such, any form of character data, statistics, outfits, events, and leaderboards have been manually excluded.
Additionally, the state field of all entries in the world collection is always set to 'online' so as not to clutter the backups.
For a full list of excluded collections, please refer to the _BLACKLIST constant at the top of the tools/scraper.py file.
This project has a sister repository hosting all images available through the API's file endpoint:
Note that the above is a quite performance-hungry repository containing upwards of 25'000 files, which is why file backups are not included in this repository.
