Get images and zone data

Two questions:

1. I'd like to get the headshot of characters. The documentation hints that this is possible, and I've seen other sites do it, but..

Requests for game images follow the pattern:
/[s:serviceID]/img/{game}/{collection}/{itemInCollection}/{category}[/{itemInCategory}]

This is of course totally helpful, except I have found no explanation, and more importantly samples, of this syntax for getting character images. (I will want images of armor/weapon/jewelry items too)

Getting an icon image of an item works: census.daybreakgames.com/img/eq2/icons/3119/item
Getting an headshot image of a character does not: census.daybreakgames.com/img/eq2/headshot/450971707027/character

Obviously its my call's syntax, but why? What is itemInCollection? Category? [itemInCategory]?
Are there any examples showing a variety of image gets?

2. I'd like to get some of the data about a zone (mainly just want the zone's id) by name but...

These works:
census.daybreakgames.com/s:ionian/xml/get/eq2/zone/?zone_data.display_name=Antonica
* census.daybreakgames.com/s:ionian/xml/get/eq2/zone/?zone_data.display_name=The Clefts of Rujark

These don't work:
census.daybreakgames.com/s:ionian/xml/get/eq2/zone/?zone_data.display_name=Commonlands
* census.daybreakgames.com/s:ionian/xml/get/eq2/zone/?zone_data.display_name=The Commonlands
census.daybreakgames.com/s:ionian/xml/get/eq2/zone/?zone_data.display_name=Stormhold
census.daybreakgames.com/s:ionian/xml/get/eq2/zone/?zone_data.display_name=Runnyeye

*(imagine plus signs where you may see spaces, this site is stripping them. i.e. add plus between 'The' and 'Commonlands'. mouse hover and look at target url and you'll also see the pluses)

How do I get the valid name of a zone?

Otherwise my project is progressing well. These questions are to help make it prettier!

 

Headshot, working URL: census.daybreakgames.com/img/eq2/character/2168963040181/headshot <-- my alt
Headshot, working URL: census.daybreakgames.com/img/eq2/character/450971707027/headshot <-- Char ID you used

Can't help with the zone issue, it seems to be problematic. Even trying to look up NPC's or mobs from certain zones just returns nothing. Example, Gustfeather - definitely in Commonlands, saw him (her?) up just the other day. Nothing.

 

Thanks Voleur, one problem solved!

 

Your query is asking for image attachment "character" in collection "headshot", which does not exist...
census.daybreakgames.com/img/eq2/headshot/450971707027/character

Try asking for the "headshot" image attachment from the "character" collection:
census.daybreakgames.com/img/eq2/character/450971707027/headshot

You can find out what image attachments exist in in the Character collection with this URL:
census.daybreakgames.com/xml/get/eq2/character/?name.first=Feldon&c:show=attachments&c:attachments=all

There are additional images for Beastlord Warders. Unfortunately the query above does not work with items or spells.

Zone data is new, unfinished, and still in the testing phase. Only 58 out of the ~1,200 zones have been exported thus far. Figuring out a way to keep all the Zones, NPCs, Spawncamps, and Treasureclasses updated in Census has to be a challenge.

You can get a list of published Zones with just their display_name shown using this URL:
census.daybreakgames.com/xml/get/eq2/zone/?c:limit=999&c:show=zone_data.display_name

 

Thanks Feldon, that helps.

I actually, as a result of yours and Voleur's responses, figured out how to get an icon for an item.

First: Get the data for an item.
Then: Get the iconid attribute (I'm using xml here..) from the <item.. ..> node.
Finally: Get the icon with: census.daybreakgames.com/img/eq2/icons/600/item putting the iconid in where I have 600

Cheers!
