I'm confused on how to write the address.

I tried: http://api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterName.xml.aspx?ids=1 This just gives like banks
I tried: http://api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterName.xml.aspx?itemID=1 This just gives an error.


What is the correct syntax please?

Whats wrong with using the static database dump?

Yes, I ended up doing that. Amikin spoke to me in game, and gave me the sql file to upload to my database. Got it now. :)

Strictly speaking you can't use ItemID's alone, you need the typeID's to find out what they are.
