WoWAce going down

Just to let you know:

Main bullet points:
-In a surprise to no one, wowace has been bleeding money in terms of bandwidth so curse have been propping them up
-The repository will be re-arranged and addon authors able to restrict access to their mods
-files.wowace.com and the WoWAceUpdater will be killed off. Both are HUGE bandwidth hogs. Curse/Curseforge will now be the front end for the repository and the WoWAceUpdater will be replaced a new Curse Client.
-The changes will happen mid-August

does anyone know the status / future of the interface?

edit: does anyone have knowledge of any kind of Addon API for curse?

It seems like it is up in the air for the moment

when the sites go big the API's are trashed. shitty

::curious:: What would need to happen with the cure/ace side of things to make it feasible to have an interface work the same as it does/did with wowace's?

a real-time or cashed RSS feed of the latest addon zip URL's

Code: Select all: <addons> <addon version="x.x.x" toc="x.x.x.x" name="xxxxxx" author="someperson"> <description> blah blah this is what it does </description> <mirror1url> http://download.curse.whatever.notsure.com/somequerystring </mirror1url> <mirror2url> http://download.amirror.whatever.notsure.com/somequerystring </mirror2url> </addon> </addons>

of course luxuries like dependencies, changelog, etc. would be nice

There does seem to be a per-addon feed for files, but that does not include actual download links.

Who is online
