My newest tool, PoRKd, went live today.
It is intended to work as a backup cache for people.anarchy-online.com.
Its functionality is currently limited; It only contains information about organizations and their members, and it only outputs XML.
I am going to add more output formats soon.
Implementation in botsRecommended aproach:
First, query people.anarchy-online.com for your information.
Then, check if that information is valid. (was the information fetched? Did we get a connection error? Did people.anarchy-online.com freak out and provide several months old data?)
If there's anything wrong with the data from people.anarchy-online.com, fetch data from PoRKd.
How to fetch the information from PoRKd:
Guild roster:
url: http://db.flw.nu/porkd/index.php?method=orgid&query=(ORGID)&d=(DIMENSION)
Replace (ORGID) with your organization ID.
Replace (DIMENSION) with 1 for Atlantean, 2 for Rimor, 3 for DNW.
Character XML:
http://db.flw.nu/porkd/index.php?method=nick&query=(NICKNAME)&d=(DIMENSION)
Replace (NICKNAME) with the nickname
Reaplace (DIMENSION) with 1 for Atlantean, 2 for Rimor, 3 for DNW.

official AO forumsPS: This is a "backend" tool.. I didn't know where else to post it, though.
PS2: When I checked for similar projects a while back, I must've been tired and missed the one in the API section here. Oh well. Ive crossposted in that post now. Moderator: Delete this post if you want.
