Places like Halo Tracker, Halo Data Hive, and Halo Carnage are just a few of the destinations that are providing a unique statistical experience to Halo 5 players.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Today we have two big announcements to share, and we have a feeling Halo API coders will be just as excited as we are. First, we\u2019ve just added a raw match events endpoint to the public API service, which will allow developers access to a breakdown of a match like never before.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s just a sampling of the data this end point reveals for each kill from any match:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gamertags of the players<\/li>\n<li>Weapon used to kill<\/li>\n<li>In-game time<\/li>\n<li>Location on the map in coordinates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This update is live right now for all developers to begin coding with. Head to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/developer.haloapi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">developer.haloapi.com<\/a>\u00a0for full documentation.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not all, because in conjunction with the raw events update, today also marks the start of the Halo API Hackathon contest! We want to see what you can build with this all-new spectrum of data, and we\u2019ll be giving away prizes to the very best sites and apps that take advantage of this new endpoint. Based on originality, polish, and functionality, a panel of judges here at 343 Industries will choose the top three winners. The contest begins now and entries must be submitted by\u00a0<strong>11:59 p.m. PT on May 16, 2016\u00a0<\/strong>here on the Halo Waypoint forums.
