The Second Drawer

After playing around with the data formats from the armory (mainly the reputation and achievements sections) - it seems like the achievements are the least well defined.

The achievements are grouped by categories as rendered by the menu on the left - clicking on these makes subsequent calls via ajax to retrieve the actual. To access the subcategories directly you just need append the c parameter with the appropriate ID. For example the category id for World Events is 155 so:

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-achievements.xml?r=$realm&n=$character&c=155

The subcategories however are not so easily accessible - they are all contained within this big xml file without any further classification. Examining the source for the link gives the following

Code:

Clicking on this link renders the Argent Tournament achievements for the World Events top level category. The key here is the number 10 in the call to openSubcategory - it is simply the index of the category definition within the xml - or in other words the contents of the nth <category> element. So for example you can access the appropriate element via the XPath
/achievements/category/category[position()=10]

A full example of the output of the xml for my paladin from http://www.wowarmory.com/character-achievements.xml?r=Saurfang&n=Keluin&c=155
If you go through and count the index of the <category> subelements will show the results for the Argent Tournament
