A callback event for the lobby chat was added in version 4.02 where you can get the text of every message as they occur. To retrieve an entire day's worth of lobby chat, use the LogsLobbyChat command in the API.console wrote:How would one go about getting a feed of the lobby chat?
Is there a way to get it with the API other then maybe logging the lobby chat and reading it form the logs?
I want to display lobby chat elsewhere on my site, what are my options?
Code: Select all
LogsLobbyChat - call without any parameters to retrieve a list of dates where a lobby chat log file was created. Example output will look something like this:
Result=Ok
Files=3
Date1=2009-03-01
Date2=2009-03-05
Date3=2009-03-06
Call with a Date parameter in the format of yyyy-mm-dd to retrieve the contents of a lobby chat log file. Example output will look something like this:
Result=Ok
2009-02-10 18:35:55 Alice: are you going to play in the tournament?
2009-02-10 18:36:14 Bob: yeah, see you there
It only makes sense to have logging enabled to be able to read a log file. Otherwise, use the Callback Event instead and monitor the chat in real time.console wrote:Just so everyone knows the above call only works if logging is enabled, i was hoping to use the same requests the client not read from a log file, for that to work you need to have chat logging enabled
I really cbf reversing it just ot get chat.
