I’ve altered the SL Search API to always return the “url” field, and also replaced the “uuid” field for events (which returned incorrect data) with an “id” field that correctly marks the ID.
All current bugs in regards to returning blank or null fields have been fixed. In addition, I have added to the URLs for the search (actually it did this before, but I forgot to document it)
It can now accept the following format:
http://services.katharineberry.co.uk/search/search/(main|teen|mature)[/(all|classifieds|events|groups|people|places|wiki)]/search+term[/page-number]
The new parameter is in bold, and is entirely optional. It sets the category through which to search. Some example URLs:
http://services.katharineberry.co.uk/search/search/teen/test+search – A search for “test search” on the TG
http://services.katharineberry.co.uk/search/search/teen/groups/Group – A search for “Group” in all TG groups
http://services.katharineberry.co.uk/search/search/teen/places/Land/2 – Page 2 (results 11-20) of a search for “Land” in all TG places
http://services.katharineberry.co.uk/search/search/main/test+search – A search for “test search” on the MG
http://services.katharineberry.co.uk/search/search/mature/test+search – A search for “test search” on the MG, with mature results enabled.
Search results will now return an object that looks something like this (ficticious search):
{
success: true,
results: [
{
type: "wiki",
url: "http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Some_wiki_page",

"url":"http://teen.world.secondlife.com/event/1234567",
"name":"Sample Event",
"summary":"This is a test event that doesn't actually exist."
}
]
}
Residents, places, groups and classifieds will follow the format of “place” above. Events will follow that of “event” above.
Everything else will be in the format of the “wiki” entry.

In the output, have you seen where you can retrieve the ban list of a place?
This is pretty interesting stuff, I wonder if they worry about bots starting to index this type of information.
On a side note, sometimes ajaxlife.net shows:
Bad Gateway
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
Apache Server at ajaxlife.net Port 443
Is this because the server goes down?
Yes. Although it should be up right now.
@Kokoro:
I don’t think you can retrieve a ban list – the list of people who don’t go somewhere hardly counts as useful data for searches. I haven’t seen it, unfortunately.
back up! thanks but getting “Error retrieving login response from the server” not sure if there’s any way to give you more info on what is going on.
That means one of the following:
“The login server’s messed up.”
“There’s something in your inventory that’s breaking the login process.”
I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do to help you with that. The only information I get is this:
DEBUG [ ]: Login status: Failed: Error retrieving the login response from the serverInteresting, thanks for the quick feedback
hmmm this just hit me, maybe an option to disable the inventory pull? As in only chat features, not sure how hard this would be but would get around the inventory error you reference.
Your example for resident shows their picks. Has this been recently been disabled? I can’t seem to get anyones picks to show up.
I managed to parse some of the xml data in LSL, but i’m sure there’s a better way than mine. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Bleh, did they break it? *grumbles*
I’ll go look into it.
Working now =D
