couldnt you have released this like a week ago??! now i am stuck with combining last.fm and bilboard charts for my university assignment mashup of two APIs...
Missing an information for tournament output: - The number of round the game last (when point are assign differently based on the number of round a game last).
I have a suggestion for another powerful api: one that returns all current information about an active game: - Who owns which country and with how many armies - How many spoils does each player have - Who's turn is it currently and how much time does he still have to finish his turn - Which cards do I have: only available for the logged in person of course - What is the worth of the next set (for escalating games)
Why do I want this information? I made my own private BOB. One which calculates my chances and gives me advice what to do. Currently I have to save the HTML of a game everytime and screenscrape the information out of it.

You would think that someone with your smarts wouldn't need advice from a script in order to play the game effectively.

For now the API is read-only and just lists games, but is a big improvement over the old Game History XML. For one thing, you can now get games for any tournament. Hopefully this will lead to cooler tools for tournament organizers and everyday members like you.

UPDATE: I added round # and time remaining to the output. I also made the player state more precise (Ready, Waiting or Playing).
