Search by URL is now back. Just enter a battle.net URL into the search box and it'll automatically redirect you to the persons SC2Ranks profile.
If they aren't on SC2Ranks yet, they'll be automatically queued and loaded into SC2Ranks.

I think the region rank 1 thing was just due to the team bugout originally, if it happens again I'll take a further look.
Swarm levels don't update at the same speed as teams, that would just be due to it not having done a profile update for you. If you mouseover the progress bars, you'll see it lists when it was updated. Looks like it's about a month old.

Yea looks like a bug. It's fixed.
Fixed so it'll no longer misidentify names with li/il or some combination of those as being barcode names.

V2 stats have been mostly implemented. The point slice features will come later, but there's a DB bug blocking those so rather than delay the feature I'm releasing them as is. If there is something missing (besides the points slicing ones), let me know and I'll see what can be done.
Race stats http://www.sc2ranks.com/stats/race and http://www.sc2ranks.com/stats/league league stats.
The major change to stats is that in V1 they were ephemeral which is not very useful. The only way you could really show SC2Ranks stats in a persistent way was screenshots which is a hassle.
V2 stats are now calculated once a day (midnight UTC) and can be linked to, giving you a way of showing the stats at the time you're referencing them. All you have to do is click "Permalink" and you'll be given a link you can reference permanently. If you share the stats through the share buttons, it will automatically create a permalink.
When viewing a snapshot, you can also see the game patch and season. http://www.sc2ranks.com/stats/2013-07-23/race/hots/global/1v1/all this page will never change, in 3 months you can come back to it and see the same stats that were seen on 2013-07-23.
Once there is more historic data available, you'll be able to look up stats by arbitrary periods. Such as finding the stats at the end of season 2013-4.
|
Summary of changes over the last few days:
* Further tweaks to the team queuer, will be releasing another improvement tomorrow which should generally do away with the queue priority and instead do speedy updates for everyone + a second tier updater for extra updates
* Fixed stats search caching arbitrarily
* Fixed a few random bits of missing localization causing red text
* New divisions now get a priority update initially to load in new teams/characters faster
* Added more aggressive loading of bonus pool data, this will allow rankings that can decay if someone isn't playing
* Added better page descriptions for people who want to share something over FB or G+
* Added automatic warnings when battle.net is experiencing server issues that updates might be delayed
* Improved performance of custom divisions, especially larger ones like the Reddit custom division
V2 API details will be posted tomorrow. I expect to have the initial beta for it available by Monday or Tuesday.

Yea those require updating your specific profile compared to the teams which are division updates. Although maybe it has a bug, I'll double check it later.
My current goal is to get the team update times down as long as possible, right now it's down to about 30 minutes throughout most of the system. Once I get that to be throughout the entire system, I'll work on getting profile updates to speed up too though.
|
Alright, tonights changes + API info.
---
* Removed queue priority, divisions are updated from oldest -> highest, the entire DB of 1.2 million players will now be refreshed every ~30 minutes
* Fixed status page including dead divisions causing the numbers to be drastically skewed higher than they were
* Fixed some names being flagged as barcode even when they weren't a real barcode
* Fixed status page loading slowly
* Fixed old teams showing up for some Chinese characters (<1,200) due to China's battle.net not doing a good job of showing seasons

The following APIs will be available:
Anything that can be filtered by region can be filtered by any region + global.
league can be filtered by any league + all.
race can be filtered by any race + all.
expansion and bracket must be set to something.
Generally functions identically to SC2Ranks v2 UI in terms of filtering.
API:
+ Show Spoiler +

-------
V2 will enforce usage limits. This will prevent abuse, give fair access to everyone and supports the site.
There will be a test mode that returns fake data, but does not count towards your daily limit for testing purposes
I'll be adding SC2Ranks "Pro" (Hopefully not final name) which for $4/month (via PayPal) gives you a higher daily limit to the API. You will also get an ad free experience on SC2Ranks and new features later on. Even if you don't want to use the API, this is for people who want to help support the site to allow new features.
For people who don't like the usage limit, there are a number of battle.net parsing libraries. But by using the SC2Ranks APIs, you get 5x - 10x faster responses than battle.net and you don't have to deal with battle.net changes or downtime.
Current numbers I'm looking at for daily usage are:
Normal: 10 credits/day
Pro: 200 credits/day
For people who maintain APIs, I'll also offer free usage limit dumps. For people who offer data (such as replay sites), higher limits for free will be offered.
I'm also looking at adding AJAX support for API calls. If you're a pro user, you can access the API through AJAX letting people easily add SC2Ranks data without having to deal with making the server requests or caching. I'm not 100% sure on how this will work in terms of usage limit, It'll be something I slowly roll out to test it.
The usage limit won't go into effect until the test mode as well as pro subscriptions are in. I expect to start having parts of the API available by Monday, with a full implementation by August 5th.
Credit #s will be defined by the amount of data you return. If you make a clan request that returns 10 x 2v2 teams, you will use 10 credits. If you make a bulk character request for 100 characters, that would use 100 credits.

Some great stuff! Love the consistency in the new API.
API
I noticed that portrait info has been removed from the API and swarm levels are not included. Not that I need or want them. =)
Character Page
On my stat page for instance, my portrait is black instead of the Carbot portrait (I'm guessing low priority on the ToDo list) and my Terran level is not at max (which it is for at least a month now).
http://www.sc2ranks.com/character/eu/1770249/OomJan/hots/1v1
SC2Ranks Account
SC2Ranks 'Normal' = SC2Ranks Bronze?
SC2Ranks Pro = SC2Ranks Grandmaster?
Perhaps add a badge to the profile to stroke that ego. Just an idea. =]
Keep up the great work!
|
I wish we could be involved in the Global rank 
Is there any difficulty combining the CN server date into the site now?
|
Team pages are back, http://www.sc2ranks.com/team/fea/11003941011/llllllllllii to view extended graphs.
Portraits were in fact bugged and are fixed and will show up properly.

API: I'll add it portraits + swarm. I just forgot about them mostly.
Character: Portraits are fixed. I made changes to how profile updates are done ~4 hours ago. You should get an update in the next day or two.
Accounts: A good idea, will make it happen.

Unfortunately it's 100% Blizzards fault
China: http://www.battlenet.com.cn/sc2/zh/profile/802183/1/慕容小月/ladder/leagues
US: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/2553612/1/puCK/ladder/leagues
You'll see that US has "Heart of the Swarm" above the team menu bar. China does not, so we default them to Wings of Liberty right now.
There's no other way to determine (that I know of) a HoTS vs WoL team until the Chinese battle.net updates. I've got an alert set in the spider, as soon as Blizzard updates it, China will get HoTS teams and show up on the global rankings.

So in the old version we had a ranking based on achievement points too. I can't find it in the new version, is it still there and just hidden? Otherwise, are there any plans on bringing that back? I really liked that feature.

http://www.sc2ranks.com/achievements is the current implementation, I might add a little more later.

Oops. That is fixed, it'll be live in about 5 minutes.
|
How is the ranking done on the achievement page? It does not look like it is the achievement points.
Example
Player X has 5,305 points and has rank 11,302
Player Y has 5,310 points and has rank 11,303
Both are max swarm level.
Examples on this page http://www.sc2ranks.com/achievements/114
|
Might be a desync bug. I'll look into it later, rather get the API in.
|
Do you use a ticket or issue tracking system? That way you and anyone else could keep track of what is broken and what has been fixed and you don't forget about bugs. Something like BugZilla or Jira.
I use Jira for tracking issues: http://jira.nugardt.com:9080/browse/NSA
