if we use this api, how can we know what type is it? try to insert there your character\corporation name there, no flags will be given, just one main value "characterID" of string we gave

for example:
if we will set there character name - will get characterID
if we will set there corporation name - will get characterID (aka row of corporationID)
if we will set there alliance name - will get characterID (aka row of allianceID)

so main question is, if we insert there string, and we don't know what "type" is it (character\corporation\alliance) how can we detect it?

You need to query the CharacterSheet call and if it fails then it's either a corp or alliance.
Then you need to query the CorporationSheet and if it fails it's an alliance.
And this is the case of the multi-errors we are forced to generate to find out the info we need.

characterSheet? how can we get it without api (keyID + vCode) ?

I believe he meant CharacterInfo, example:

https://api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterInfo.xml.aspx?&characterId=1633218082

Thanks Squizz for correcting me. Fast typing ain't my thing.
