Hey there, first of all I'm going to be completey honest with you and admit I know barely anything about HTML/PHP/CSS coding at all and am currently reading many tutorials which I hope can give me a bit of background knowledge.
Now onto my main question, I am staff on a PS3Trophy site (I won't link it because I am not sure on this sites ad policy) and we would like to implement automated tropy cards such as this
. On that site all you need to do is insert your PSN ID and an email adress and it gathers your trophy details. What I would like to know is how it does it and how it could be implemented to my site. After doing a bit of rooting around and talking to some people this is the info I have gathered;
Oh lol, it's actually very simple, and doesn't require a dev kit that some people keep talking about, a dev kit can't even connect to the PSN like retail machines do, you can't view peoples trophies on dev kits.
Anyone can do it, they just need to know where to look and how to handle the data
Right now I'm grabing the HTML (ex: http://profiles.us.playstation.com/p...ofiles/BeNeXuS) and looking for specific tags, then saving this information so I don't have to go to Sony's site every time (I refresh data on request o every 6 hours)
I have a couple of services on my site that provide the information, you can take a look at http://www.ps3argentina.com.ar/API/psn.asmx
But, for heavy demmanding app or commercial use I have a page thats return JSON, but you will need a key (and will be a payed service)
If anyone could make any sense of this and help me out I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks.
