/who and in-game character search info

[reilwin]

Would it be possible to expose the information normally available via /who, searching for characters and that available to people on your friends list? Perhaps even allow adding/removing friends via the API?

(For those who may have guessed, yes, I do want to be able to easily discover somebody's guild via /who)

Getting the unit's guild is possible. The API has an Inspect.Unit.Detail function that includes the Unit's guild.

However, the units you can inspect must be VISIBLE (grouped or targeted) by your character.

There is an Inspect.Unit.Lookup function, but this only accepts player UUIDs or strings like "player.target", not character names.

So in conclusion, currently, you can get this info when you are targeting a player, but not by his/her character name.

Yes, I was aware of that limitation, which was why I asked for it to become available via the API. Chances are, people you want to /who are not in easy range of you.
