Origin API

[grzemach]

Hello,

I'm developing pages and from time to time I'm having nice ideas about creating something new... something that don't exists yet.

Currently I have idea to create some copy of steamgitfs -> it will be origin gifts (not sure about domain name yet).

But before I start working with it. I need to know if Origin API is available for other persons.

I will need to use:

- login form (and get from it just some user id or other elements that I can recognize user)

- get list of users game (after he will be logged in)

- will be nice element (but it's not required) - list of all games supported by origin.

Where I can get information about this? Maybe there is some page for such developers?

Regards,

Grzegorz Machocki

At the moment Origin does not provide a public facing API for such purposes. 

If or when this might change in the future is currently unknown.

Any idea how I can do it? Is there any chance that it can be done?

I am also very interested in this.

Please make a publicly available api for the community. (like Steam)

EA needs to help us help them.

I'm also going full thread necromancer and try to resurrect this I'm an achievement hunter myself and like to track my progress across platforms on a certain third-party website (not sure if I'm allowed to link to it from here so I'll leave it out). Currently this is not possible for Origin although the creator of the website expresses his interest in adding support for the platform as soon as it is available.

I appreciate Origin adding the achievement functionality and wish for a public api as well!

I'm also going to bump this...
I can't find the information on any API existing at all, and I just want a basic API like Steam Web API's GetSchemaForGame

looks like scraping to build my own database is the only viable option...
