hello,
is it possible to get the Games Region?
With the help of the documentation i was able to write a python programm to track my earned trophies for a OBS TrophyTracker overlay...works fine. But since i played some Stacks it would be nice if i could read out the reagion (eu, na, as etc.) of a game...

can anybody help?

Hi @ratbo99

I think the answer is not easily. I've not come across any trophy specific API endpoints you can use to figure out which titles and region that a trophy set belongs to.

I think you would have to approach this by working in reverse and essential build out a database to map titles to trophy sets first. So;

  1. Build a list of all titles and their associated data like region.
  2. Query this list of titles to find their associated trophy set npCommunicationId - see Issue 5 for examples of how to do this.
  3. Use this title -> trophy set index you've now built to link to your trophy data.

There are sites like https://orbispatches.com/en/ and https://prosperopatches.com/ which are useful sources for title data, also see http://kood.info/pstic/ for examples of how you might get this data yourself.

I'll leave this open to see if anyone else can offer any advice.

hey,
thanks for your answer. after a little bit more research i see that this is not a simple task. but thanks for the links...i will check that.
maybe one day i build a small index for regions but for now my trophytracker do what it should. thanks for the documentation. it helps a lot.
