Data returned
JSON, starting with a status message, then in the "data" key, an array containing a hash (dictionary) of each zone, with event data if any are running.
- zone: Zone name, localized (e.g., everything on Brutwacht is in German, Brisesol is in French)
- zoneId: ID number for the zone. It is unknown how this number relates to the zone IDs returned by the ingame LUA API.
- name: Event name, localized
- started: Time the event started, in seconds since Jan 1 1970 00:00. You can convert this to a human-readable date with Wolfram Alpha (input the number and "unix time"), or on a Linux command line with
date -d@THENUMBERHERE
