StartCoroutine in a static member

Question

I have two scripts, one that grabs information from the other and sends information

Example :

Usage

 var savedWeapons = PlayerSave.GetWeapons();

Now PlayerSave does this

 public static string GetWeapons()
 {
     StartCoroutine (GetData ("weapon", "testname"));
     return returner;
 }
 
 IEnumerator GetData(string type, string accountName)
 {
     var form = new WWWForm ();
     form.AddField ("hash", hash);
     form.AddField ("name", accountName);
     form.AddField ("type", type);
     WWW w = new WWW (URL, form);
     yield return w;
     if (w.error != null) {
         //Show Error 
         Debug.Log(w.error);
         returner = w.error;
         w.Dispose();
     }
     else {
         Debug.Log(w.text);
         returner = w.text;
         w.Dispose();
     }
 }

So basically it gets it from the database. However I get this error

 Assets/Scripts/Scripts/PlayerSave.cs(53,19): error CS0120: An object reference is required to access non-static member 'PlayerSave.GetData(string, string)'

But if i take away the static member away it gives me an error in the script calling for the weapon.

Any help?

BTW I did look at this - https://answers.unity.com/questions/1207534/startcoroutine-in-a-public-static-void.html

Didn't work for me.
