I already wrote an API, the base framework is Laravel 5.2. Using Dingo Api. I am codding it because in a way or another i will make a complete dashboard written in AngularJS. And than the new version 2 of my website Hekate. All of that under the framework laravel. I do not know yet about selling it or sharing it as i do that in my free time and also its a process for me too in learning more about AngularJS. So if anyone can really give some tips about the new skills binary data in ep8 it will be much appreciated. Tried some things like getting the level of a skill, but it does not make any sense.
I am planning to use the authentication in API either oAuth2 or JWT. That depends.
Attached some images. For example when you return the characters for a specific account it will give already decoded data, like style. I am planning to return also the skills of each character and inventory and a lot of things that belongs to that character.
As you can notice, i am using a custom transformer when returning the data. Take as example login or auth.



The dashboard that i'm going to build, it will use sockets for real data from database or server. I plan to manage database/server straight from the dashboard.
I think this section of cabal, needs something new, modern stuff. :)
If anyone would like to join me, please contact me. :)

Thanks for the usefull information.
UPDATE
Seems i got it working. I was wrong, i thought that the new skill binary was different. My mistake was that i was splitting the binary by 8, but in the end, the correct splitting was by 10 :D.
The next move is to decode the item binary so i can get all the items from that character's inventory.
