C# Runescape Highscore Lookup

Hey guys, I've been browsing the net for a RS Highscore lookup library but there all old and don't work, I was wondering if anyone had the code or the library which I could use to further my project.

Thanks

P.S - http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=743168 <- the links are broken in this thread

 

Rather than giving you a complete project I'll follow the old proverb of a man being taught to fish eating forever and guide you.

JaGeX provides various fan-sites with a 'light' version of the Highscores for this kind of thing, which exposes a easily parsed text file which includes all stats (level, rank, EXP) and MiniGame standings. This version can be accessed at:

Code:

http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=

Where you add the players name at the end of the URL like so:

Code:

http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=Zezima

Now if you type this in you get a lot of numbers and such but by comparing these numbers with the regular Highscores you can find the format of the data and parse it with calls to String.Split() or by using REGEX.

Now from here you're on your own, the mind only learns by making mistakes, so make some mistakes and figure out what works.

 

Tips: think about what you need to do, and ways you can do it. If you don't understand what you're doing, you can't expect to do it. Something like this is intuitively simple: You're dealing with a HTML page with data you need. All you need to do is download that webpage (the lazy approach is to use the WebClient object) and separate the data using string manipulation as in the aforementioned post.

If you can't do that, learn how to. If you can't learn, don't expect to call yourself a programmer.

 

You should try playing runescape in Swift Kit .. It has a hiscores look up on the side +heaps of other things

 

Thanks guys, that's helped

 

This is understandable thanks, already made sense of the file, just couldn't find the correct link to enter players names

use htmlagilitypack and write your own parser

 

I've already made one of these, using the lite hiscores:

don't need use regex,but string.split to parse it is ok
