Guild History Export/Parse info

Hello, I am looking to possibly integrate a feature of your character history into the application script from bbDKP

Basically I would like to parse the guild history into the application that is submitted to the forum. My guild finds this useful when considering an applicant but it would be nice if it was available right in the application.

Would someone here be interested in helping me with this?

Yeah I have been trying to find info about it.... I think it would be very handy for application scripts to know players guild history...

What do you say Rollie? Can we do this....

What exactly are you looking for? A service call or something that would allow you to query on a specific character?

Sorry to resurrect an older post, however, the suggestion made is exactly what I was looking for also.

All we do is check for a char's guild history when he applies. I had hoped to be able to do this myself by downloading your kindly provided realm CSVs and throwing a script together but the dataset doesn't contain individual character information.

Any suggestion/comments would be appreciated.

Yeah, I specifically did not put in a easy mechanism to download the character history data. It would be too easy for someone to basically steal the entire database that way.

I would not be opposed to setting up a services API where requests can be made and results returned in XML or JSON or whatever, but I would want to be able to monitor and restrict the number of queries.
