gw2.data

gw2.data#

local gw2data = require 'gw2.data'

The gw2.data module contains cached data from the GW2 API. This is data that does not require authentication and does not change regularly, such as map information.

This allows access to this data without querying the API every time.

Important

Module authors should prefer using this module over querying the API for the same data.
