Multiple IDs

Appologies if this has been asked. I have recently joind these forums and a quick search did not fin this question.

Is there a way to get multiple characters back from a single query where I know the id or names of the characters.

For example: I would like to get the information for characters; Chico, Harpo and Groucho in a single RESTful query.

I understand I can send 3 queries but this does not scale as the number of characters increases.

Actually, it is c:limit=3 (or whatever limit you want).  The c:count command is a boolean that says to include the total account in the result.

If you are referencing by ID (not doing a search), you don't need a c:limit command.  

Consider this...

census.daybreakgames.com/xml/get/eq2/character/2168961825756,2168961817429,515400265667?c:show=displayname

Even without a c:limit, you will get 3 characters (showing only their displayname).

Thanks Dan that is exactly what I needed. I can do the name look up once and cache the IDs, then use the query you have given, it works perfectly

Ask Dan, I'm the expert at writing bum queries. Fortunately Dethdlr does all that. I do HTML/CSS and enough PHP to get myself in trouble.
