J'ai toujours adoré le jeu vidéo Age of Empires et plus particulièrement le deuxième opus et son extension The Conqueror. Bien que sorti en 1999, j'y joue encore quelques fois. Un développeur a même créé une API retournant diverses informations liées au jeu !

Tout logiquement nommée Age of Empires 2 API, ce projet open source et hébergé sur Heroku vous permet d'obtenir tout un tas de données du célèbre jeu vidéo.

Développée en Python avec notamment Flask, l'API met à disposition plusieurs éléments dont les civilisations, technologies, unités et structures.

La documentation vous permet de consulter toutes les routes disponibles ainsi que de les tester directement.

Par exemple, pour lister les civilisations :
