7 years ago I know this is the same as #216… The response was:
Hey @schneefux Unfortunately we cannot provide that ahead of the game launch. However, we will be exposing PBE data to approved developers shortly. You should be able to find that info from the PBE data, and send a pull request back to this repository to patch the resource mappings here [link]
Does that help?
(Yeah, it does!!!)
This issue is a request that until 24h prior the release either:
- We have a guarantee that "shortly" is in time of this update.
- We get a JSON file (match + Telemetry) with the new hero and items… somehow… from somewhere… I mean it has to be possible…? You had one once in the early days of the API… Just one file, or a Google Docs sheet with the strings for translators, or whatever tiny scrap of information there is
- A PBE player among us, a SEMC developer, some magician, or anyone with the knowledge can tell us the name of the hero / item and give a guess what the ability names in Telemetry will be.
We (the VainSocial development team) need it ahead of time, because our database needs to be seeded before the data is there so that it is not classified as invalid.

2.8 (or 3.0?) will arrive in two weeks, and as it is the end of the summer season, it will likely involve some bigger changes. I heard the rumor that there will be another hero.
Can you provide us a changelog? Especially
