Please use the private message system here on my.lotro or on the forums to request API keys. I don’t respond to comments or wall posts. Also, it’s probably in your own best interest not to post your email address in those places either. They are publicly visible on the Internet and can be seen by anyone, from search engines to spammers. PMs are private, quick, and don’t require any undue exposure of email addresses or other personal information.

I’m happy to announce a new beta resource for you developer types out there: data.lotro.com.
This site aims to be a resource for any 3rd party developers interested in creating their own applications that need actual game data to power them: web applications, forum integration, operating system widgets, and so on. The site uses a simple REST-ful API to access various methods to retrieve XML data. Currently, guild rosters and character sheet data are available though we have plans to continue adding more services as time permits.
If the previous paragraph makes some amount of sense to you, the first step you should take is to send me a private message here on MyLOTRO or on the forums requesting an API key. Please include a short developer name and I will generate a key for you as soon as possible. This is currently a manual process, so it may take up to a couple of days to get a response back.
Here’s a quick example to whet your appetite:
A URL like this (character chosen at random):
http://data.lotro.com/DEVELOPER/API_KEY/charactersheet/w/Landroval/c/Valdidar/
will respond with something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
