Player ID to Server Validation
Foghladha.2506:
Greetings,
I would really like it if there was an ability to do a call such as:
https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/player_data.json?member_id=Foghladha.2506
and the result to return
[{"last_online":“2014-05-15 03:01:23”,“server”:"1013"}]
Something that simple would allow server validation for special access to server and guild community websites.

It’s a good idea, but it shouldn’t grant any “special access” to any confidential data, as everyone could just enter any user-account which he doesn’t really own.
But as long as the response parameters only include the last_online_date and server_id it should be fine.
It would also enable us to track if a player is currently online via a smartphone-app or website too, which is kinda awesome. – But in concern of privacy and stuff I’m not sure if ArenaNet will allow us to read this data without any confirmation from the concerning user(s).

Good idea but like most of the good systems I think it needs to be behind authentication.
