Where is the best place to find coding info for writing scripts. I have no problems with JS, but need to know if there are specific objects available etc.

I think most modern browsers have some built-in developer tools. Right click -> inspect element. Or in internet explorer press f12.
Sometimes the code is a pain to read. For this you can use a "beautifier". They'll turn something like this:
into this:
World settings can be grabbed via ajax from xml files.
/interface.php?func=get_config
/interface.php?func=get_building_info
/interface.php?func=get_unit_info
example (world 14):
http://us14.tribalwars.us/interface.php?func=get_config
Regular expressions are nice for getting coordinates out of a village name.
example:
my_coords will be the string "552|637"
Tribal Wars uses jquery, which can make scraping data off the page much more pleasant.
example: get defending troops out of a battle report
1) check the source HTML:
2) write the script:
TLDR
there's no useful documentation. check the source and build your own objects as needed

there's no useful documentation. check the source and build your own objects as needed

Thanks for the info. Guess I have some work to do
