I've looked around an it does not appear that CCP has ever released the "Show Character Info" link syntax.
For example the syntax to paste in a recruitment ad is:
/_url=recruitmentAd:98451662//119492_\ Join US!!! /_/url_\
<..............................................................>................<........>
With the new API endpoint, will this syntax be released?
Thanks! Cool

Blacksmoke16 has answered my question. Thanks dude you rock!

You can autolink characters in the send mail body by doing it like this. Where the longer string of digits is the character/corporationID of the char/corp you wish to link. The smaller number like 1385 is different for each url as it tells it what type of thing should i be linking, a character, a corp, a recruitment ad etc.

"body": "Hello I am < url=showinfo:1385//2047918291 >BlackSmoke16< /url >, and here is my corp recruitment ad < url=recruitmentAd:98430171//118808 >SeckDeck Industries - The best of the best < /url >"


Note: I had to add spaces before/after each < > in order to post the html here. You'll have to remove those spaces for it to actually link anything when you go to use it.

There is one.

EDIT: Your post is asking three different things. This endpoint will open a show info window on a char/corp/alliance. Not sure/doubt that will work to open a corp ad. There is also no openMail endpoint atm. Only market details, info window, specific contracts and new mail template.

I see I was not specific enough.

/ui/openwindow/newmail/

Title: Hello person, join this corp!
Body: This is the body, and here is my corp recruitment ad /_url=recruitmentAd:98451662//119492_\ Join US!!! /_/url_\
RecipientID: [list of ids]


Can we get the syntax to "Autolink" a character?

Again you are kinda asking two separate things, how to autolink a character and how to autolink a recruitmentAd. I included a sample for both.

You can autolink characters/recruitment ads in the send mail body by doing it like this. Where the longer string of digits is the character/corporationID of the char/corp you wish to link. The smaller number like 1385 is different for each url as it tells it what type of thing should i be linking, a character, a corp, a recruitment ad etc.

"body": "Hello I am < url=showinfo:1385//2047918291 >BlackSmoke16< /url >, and here is my corp recruitment ad < url=recruitmentAd:98430171//118808 >SeckDeck Industries - The best of the best < /url >"

Two comments:

* You can find out the format of any of these links by putting them into a chat window, then copying the chat text out of it and pasting into a text editor.

* You can do links for citadels with the url=showinfo: format.... the first number is the type (astrahus etc) and the second number is the location id. This even seems to work for no-longer existing citadels. There doesn't seem to be any checking on the citadel type so you can also make troll links: e.g. link to someone's ctiadel claiming its a palatine keepstar.
