New: Hero Wallpapers

A community request (issue #117) asked for official hero wallpapers. The new endpoint returns them for one hero, filtered by screen type. Heroes can be passed by ID or by name, the same as every other hero endpoint.

  • GET /api/heroes/{hero_identifier}/wallpapers?device=desktop returns 1920x1080 images.
  • device=mobile returns 1080x1920 images.
  • Each record lists every resolution available for that wallpaper, so one record can include 2560x1440 or 1080x2400 as well.
  • Event artwork made for all heroes appears for every hero.

Try it: open the playground, pick Heroes, then Hero Wallpapers, and enter hirara.

Faster Hero Lookups, Same Responses

Most of the API code was reorganised so that every hero and academy endpoint builds its request from the same small set of helpers. Before shipping, 500 requests covering every endpoint and option were recorded before and after the change, and the responses matched exactly.

  • Hero names are now resolved from a list cached for an hour. Before, every request that used a name downloaded the full hero list first.
  • Connections to the game-data service are reused instead of opened for every call.
  • The IP lookup endpoint no longer holds up other requests while it waits for its answer.
  • A new test suite calls every public endpoint against the live game-data service and checks the data that comes back.

A New Website

The home page, playground, and blog were rebuilt from scratch in a style closer to a printed reference than a marketing page: ruled tables, plain headings, and one highlight colour. The home page opens with this week's highest win rates, loaded live from the API, followed by an index of all 48 endpoints.

Light and Dark

The site follows your system theme and remembers your choice when you switch with the Dark or Light button in the header.

The Playground

Every endpoint is a form generated from the OpenAPI schema. Fill in the fields, press Send request, and read the result as a table, as raw JSON, or as ready-to-copy code in eight languages. The sidebar has a filter for finding an endpoint by path or name.

  • Table view turns nested JSON into nested tables and previews image URLs.
  • The status line shows the HTTP status and how long the request took.
  • Sign In now walks through the two steps: send a code to your in-game mail, then enter it.

Showcase: Sites Built on the API

Two sites run entirely on Rone Arena endpoints. The new Showcase page lists each of their pages next to the endpoints it calls, with links that open the same request in the playground.

  • Arena Academy (arena-academy.rone.dev): hero pages, rankings, builds, and guides from the public endpoints, with no sign-in.
  • Arena Card (arena-card.rone.dev): a player card built on the verification-code sign-in and the user endpoints.

For Integrators

Nothing to change on your side. Existing requests keep working exactly as before.

  • No endpoint was removed or renamed, and no response shape changed.
  • The hero identifier parameter description in the OpenAPI schema is now the same on every endpoint.
  • The deprecated /api/academy/heroes/ratings endpoint now returns an upstream error (code 10407), because the game-data service switched it off. Plan to stop calling it.
