An emulator for the GW2 API

GW2 API Emulator

GW2 API emulator is a simple Node.js program that emulates the GW2 APIs.

Its purposes are:

• Allow quick testing of software based on the GW2 API by using an in-memory, locally running server with a very small amount of data
• Allow for integration tests with GW2 API

Usage

Install the GW2 API Emulator:

$ npm install gw2api-emulator -g

Run it:

$ gw2api-emulator --port 2837

For more information about the supported options and how they work:

$ gw2api-emulator --help

Currently implemented endpoints and limitations

Currently the following "container" endpoints have been implemented:

• /v2/items
• /v2/recipes

Each of them contain only the first 150 elements of the GW2 API as of 16/06/2019.

The allowed ways to call these endpoints are (e.g. for items):

• http://localhost:3333/v2/items
• http://localhost:3333/v2/items?page=2
• http://localhost:3333/v2/items?page=4&page_size=3
• http://localhost:3333/v2/items/122

The returned headers are consistent with the GW2 API (especially Link, X-Page-Size, X-Page-Total, X-Result-Count, X-Result-Total).

Errors are not considered.
