User:Nava Muni/n2k

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 techniques, 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 data services is nil.

If you'd like to use this API, please contact Nava Muni for host information.
