HTTP GET search like the talent calculator

Hello,
I am new here and let me start by saying that you guys did a great job.
I am very interested in your character database and would like to make use of it.

I am wondering, is there a way to do a HTTP GET variable search on the character history? Or you guys have a SOAP/WSDL interface that I can quickly search for certain char and give this char's history a quick glance?

like this one: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/cla ... 0000000000

If you have this, can you please instruct me on how I can make use of it?
If not, is it possible to implement it? Thank you.

Log in to the main site and claim your character. I believe if you then click on the character you've claimed from the My Characters link, there is an http get link. Haven't tested it, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it.

Once you have found the character you are looking for, you can use the URL as a direct link at any time. Or is this not what you are referring to?

Thank you for reply.

I have tried the claiming method and yes, it is similar to what I have in mind but not quite.
I think the problem is my bad wording, sorry about it.

What I have in mind is this:
say the result display page is called "character.php", and is it possible to do

http://www.warcraftrealms.com/character ... nmaw&lv=60&....

then it would display the information for a character with the following attributes:
name: abc
class: warrior
server: Dragonmaw
level: 60
.....

thank you...

But yoru information would be totally random and not necessarily have any real bearing. What would be the use of such a thing?

What I want to do is this:

I would ask people to sign up on my server, but I want to save them the trouble typing out the character information. If your character query system allows me to query through GET methods with character name and server, I can make a PHP script to link to the query result.

This way I can save some database space on my server and bring more people to your service.

And, why would the information be totally random? The search is exactly the same as typing the character name in the name field on the character history page; just that it is put on the URL instead.

Ah, I see what you are saying now. I thought you were saying to put the GET variables directly into the output, not doing a search on the GET variables.

I understand what you are asking for now.

Sorry for my bad wording. I've always had trouble with asking the right questions.
