Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is receiving a pre-emptive update to ensure online features continue to function as intended and remain compatible with current and future server updates.
We are switching our API’s domain to aoe-api.worldsedgelink.com. This domain change was already made for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, Age of Empires IV, and is now coming to Age of Empires: Definitive Edition.
We’re also removing the requirement to perform a (platform) login to access the /community/ APIs.
FAQ
What does this mean for me?
If you’re using any of the current APIs, you’ll have to switch the domain for your services to aoe-api.worldsedgelink.com. The endpoints and arguments can remain the same. We’ll update you if those change.
If you’re currently using a login to access the /community/ APIs, you will no longer need to. This does mean that rate limiting will be done on a per-IP basis, rather than a per-user basis.
By when do we have to make this change?
The current domain will stay functional until at least January 31st.
As mentioned above, you will no longer have to log in to access community APIs.
What about the ageofempires.com APIs?
Those are managed by World’s Edge and will be maintained as they are.
