Access character information.

Usage

<base URL>/character.php?apikey=key
<base URL>/character.php?apikey[=key1&apikey[]=key2

URL Parameters

apikey

Character API key starting with 'c'

Cache Duration

<character> xml element has attributes *created* and *cached_until* (utc timestamp)

XML structure

API is able to return information about multiple characters at once and so each <character> element is child of <ryzomapi> root element:

<ryzomapi>
  <character apikey="key1" created="1387369332" modules="C01:P01" cached_until="1387369632">
    ....
  </character>
  <character apikey="key2" created="1387369332" modules="P01" cached_until="1387369632">
    ....
  </character>
</ryzomapi>

Invalid key error:

<character apikey="key1" created="1387369873">
  <error code="404">invalid key</error>
</character>

Possible error codes are listed on API error codes.
