Apparently I need to be set straight because now my data is all wonky. Please help me. The intent here is notification of daily and weekly events.
I have been pulling data to alert when special events like Iron Banner, Trials, Weekly Crucible, Xur start from the public advisors endpoint: https://www.bungie.net/platform/Destiny/Advisors/
Under there the events endpoint (['Response']['data']['events']['events']) really only provides Xur and Iron Banner. SO I end up checking Brother Vance for bounties to know if Trials has started.
The weekly crucible usually has map data under it located at ['Response']['data']['weeklyCrucible'] but now it is empty and I presume it will stay that way until next Tuesday. However, the weekly is Inferno Clash 6v6.
So the questions are:
1. How do I correctly find out when trials starts?
2. how do I correctly gather the weekly crucible?
3. What about when a special event happens like SRL or Crimson? Where should I pull that.
4. If these are special events (Trials, SRL, C.Days) why do they not have an entry in the events endpoint feed? Is it because they take over the Weekly Crucible spot in the director?
IMHO, I would think this would be easier from both a programming and UI perspective if there were a dedicated octagon on the director for these special events (not Xur obviously), which could lead to consistency within the advisors feed. Obviously this is an over simplification and one really does not correlate to the other, but couldn't all the special events such as I.B., SRL, CD, etc. become lists under the events feed?

Just as an update for those of you wondering about the Weekly Crucible, this is indeed a bug on our end. Unfortunately we aren't likely going to patch it in time for it to be relevant this week. We apologize for the inconvenience, and are working to make sure that the weekly crucible data will be correct for upcoming weeks!
