Lookup API - Aion Database

This API allows you to lookup objects in our database easily by Name or ID. Just follow the examples below to access the API. We have various parameters to let you pick different object types and even the returned encoding. A typical response will include the ID, Name, URL, and Icon URLs for that object.

API parameters available:

s - This param is used to set the search string for doing lookups by Name. This should always have a value if searching by Name. The results will mimic our general site search for each object however it will only return up to a maximum of 10 objects.
