Census character queries with/without c:show

Welcome to the EQ2 Census forums!

If you want ts and playedtime, you have to request them as well.

http://census.daybreakgames.com/xml/get/eq2/character/?name.first_lower=ironico&locationdata.world=Halls of Fate&c:show=name,resists,stats,type,ts,playedtime

Also just a suggestion to speed up your query, if you know the worldID of Halls of Fate (it's 605) then this is a faster query as locationdata.worldid and name.first_lower are both indexed and you're shrinking the pool of results that Mongo has to search against dramatically:

http://census.daybreakgames.com/xml...resists,stats,type,ts,playedtime,locationdata


Also I'll give you the advice I give everyone: If you are writing a PHP application, I do not recommend using XML as your data source. Use JSON. It's difficult to read in the browser, but PHP reads it so much more easily than XML. Some example code:

Code:

$data_json = file_get_contents ($url);
$data_raw = json_decode ($data_json,TRUE);
$data = $data_raw[0]; // we only want the 1st result
unset ($data_json,$data_raw); // free up memory

echo '<pre>';
print_r($data); // dump the data to the screen
echo '</pre>';

 

Ah Windows app. Yeah I think the XML tools there are workable at least. The PHP ones seem to have been written after a long night with a bottle of bad tequila.
