How do I extract information from WoW to an outside source?
– This can’t be done directly. For example, let us say you want to make an AddOn that updates your guild roster, and posts the name/lvl/class of each member on your web site. The only way to do this is to write an AddOn that will save the name/lvl/class of each guild member in a SavedVariables/AddOnName.lua file, close WoW and extract the info to your guild web site either manually, or with a program which would do it for you. You may not extract information about anything in the WoW environment by “leeching” the information that passes between you and the server. Or, rather, with a lot of work, it’s possible to write a program that monitors network traffic, but that is against Blizzard’s Terms of Service. We strongly suggest you do not do it.
