I created this web service because I did not like relying on an external (non-Linden Lab) source for name-to-key translations. Unlike other services that use (semi-)automatic in-world data collection, my service goes 'right to the source' and queries the Linden Lab data services. I've found that other external sources sometimes miss low-activity residents altogether. The chances of that happening with the Linden Lab services is nil.
Ver 2.0
http://HOST/sl-n2k2.php?cmd=n2k&name=FIRST+LAST
Usage
- FIRST is the resident's first name; case-insensitive
- LAST is the resident's last name; case-insensitive
Return
Note: all returned data is text/plain
- on valid data
UUID S FIRST LAST
where S ∈ {0,1} such that
0 indicates a resident who might no longer exist, and
1 indicates a confirmed resident.
FIRST and LAST are returned in the correct (that is, user-created) case.
- if no data found
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 0 - -
Examples
http://HOST/sl-n2k2.php?cmd=n2k&name=nava+muni
- yields
74d815e8-183f-420b-8e44-ed4e288e2d3d 1 Nava Muni
Note the case of the resident's name in the query and in the result.
Ver 1.0
http://HOST/sl-n2k.php?do=n2k&name=FIRST+LAST
Note: this version differs from Ver 2 only in its URL format; the returned data is identical.
