    Hey Everyone,

    I'm happy to announce we officially have an Xbox One API and it's being added to the site! This API is actually a lot stronger then the 360 one and offers a lot more info, From this API we can get


    1. Users Game/App List
    2. Users Game/App Achievements
    3. Users Game Clips (detailed)
    4. Users Profile information
    5. Users Activity Feed
    6. Users Friends
    7. Users Online Presence
    8. Users Followers and following

    I am adding this level of integration to the site and it will be adding and sync'ing everyone's profile over the next little while. There is a technical catch however, the old xbox 360 API's do not show this information and the new API's do not show Xbox 360 information (this explains why there are 2 Xbox ios/android apps), So rather then doing 2 calls for every user, If LG ever sees you online playing an Xbox One title, we'll flag your account that you should be sync'd for all our Xbox one feeds!

    Another update relating to this, if the site notices you are online playing a game, that game and its rich presence info will show up in your chat posts! If you want to trigger the site to look for you, just view your profile since that draws the "online status" image

    I think this is very telling about where the community is

    Our main league is still an xbox 360 game, yet 8/10 top played games/apps are all on the Xbox One. Meaning people are basically keeping their 360 just to play this game but everything else is on next gen.

    This is a good sign if we can ever make the move to Next Gen
