Allakhazam.com make XML data of in-game items available specifically for use by 3rd parties.

Methodology

The exact method for using the data is yet to be decided as I don't know if Allakhazam make a webservice available for either searching or dumping the information. Awaiting information from Andy

Permission

Before using the data we have saught permission to do so:

From: Andy Sharp [email removed]
To: "S. Meslin-Weber" [email removed]
Subject: Re: Use of XML info from allakhazam

Sure,  this sort of thing is exactly why we make XML data available.

What I ask is that when you're grabbing XML data, please be polite about
it.  Look for changed data only (ie: please don't dump the entire item
list via XML every day), and be polite with mulitple requests.

We don't require credit, but it's appreciated.
