API returns status 404 for guilds that exist

Nearly ever guild gets a 404 error, even though playblackdesert shows them as valid. Maybe they changed api?

Caching issue

During the website maintenance today, I requested a profile search through my application to see how it handles unexpected responses. The API returned 503 as expected. Approximately 5 hours later, I tried requesting the same profile search but until now, I get the same response.

However, if I omit the &region=EU parameter (which was provided in the initial request during maintenance), I do get the correct search result. But when I add back the parameter, it responds with 503 again.

Aside from that, it seems to me like negative lookups are cached for too long (at least for responses other than 404), as even if I prevent API calls during usual maintenance times, I cannot prevent others from requesting that profile.

Query Length Restriction inadequate

It seems like the restriction of /adventurer/search query strings to no more than 16 characters is inadequate. Family names with more than 16 characters exist and are searchable on the website, so I believe this restriction should be removed.

I'm not sure why the restriction exists or if there is currently a length restriction for new accounts. The instance I am aware of which is longer than 16 characters resulted from a name change due to the old name breaking the rules. But clearly such names are possible and the website search supports them.

Some profiles are unreachable

So i use this to scrap a bunch of guilds from my server, since 17 of november some profiles are unrecheable no just by API also on their website.

Seems api is bugged or has removed some profiles witouth no reason, it happens in all guilds. fam_name targetProfile is given in the guildprofile response but once u use that for get specific profile information it returns 404

example in EU:

Detect main character

On the BDO website, the player's selected "main" character is visually identified on the profile page, but this info is not parsed.

Parse a copy of provided data

Currently, if a user provides data like guild name when making a request, this info is not parsed but copied to the response.
But since the official website is bugged, it sometimes returns irrelevant data.
It would be easier for API users to work around such issues if this scraper parsed all data.

Profile Error

I can't seem to get the response of https://bdo.hemlo.cc/communityapi/v1/adventurer?profileTarget=tbXSK7e39Sb3U3yPi7UDjkszPyso2WujtM3ghFiULdHT9qX8fqF0ssHBh/gphTNwomVWBHd9j8yu8EA9uaGUmCtXp76ix+Q59Cja/otSuj7WR0o9KzzcZO9oehNgBeUqi0wQW/NlqAJpCSziUpxkkbPjW+vkxu7oi7I7rNuzW0s=&region=EU from the api. I always get a 404 error with no content. On the other hand this request does work (https://bdo.hemlo.cc/communityapi/v1/guild?guildName=Vexa&region=EU). Online https://bdo.hemlo.cc/leaderboards/EU/Vexa/farming it works too, just can't seem to get it working. Tried using headers and ua. The only thing I can think of is that it uses HTTP3.0 and not 1.x or 2.x
