Item IDs Omitted from API?
AfterXII.2761:
Hey, I came across this item, http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Foraging_Sickle
I went snooping around in my item databases (which get pulled directly from ANet APIs) but could not find any reference to it. Are there particular items that get omitted from the Item APIs?
Lawton Campbell.8517:
Uhh, I’m pretty sure that’s a bug. Right now we display items that have been looted or bought off the trading post. Should add “bought by a vendor” as another way to get on the whitelist.

That would be awesome! Maybe make it possible to know which currencies as well? IE karma items… karma currency, gold items… gold currency, etc.

Not sure how feasible it is, but a vendor endpoint is definitely on the backlog.

Great! I can’t wait to utilize it!

That would be most welcome. Was trying to correct recipe names recently for my guides(to remove some confusion) and realized all the account bound ones were missing.

I’d found a few undocumented consumables and was holding on to them in the hopes the API would pick them up. Guess I can use them
(Don’t worry, I added them to the wiki already. None were anything special.)
Eearslya.6309:
Is there any update on this issue? I’ve just come across it myself while trying to find the Wintersday ornament items.
Lawton Campbell.8517:
There’s an issue on the backlog to fix it, I just haven’t gotten to it yet.
I mostly need to investigate the implications the change would have in a live environment.

How long does /v2/items need to update?
The following Items are part of /v2/commerce/listings but not of /v2/items
9102, 12709, 29952, 29960, 29964, 29974, 31113, 31120, 31124, 31127, 31130, 31131, 31132, 31133, 31135, 31136, 31137, 31139, 31140, 31144, 31167, 31168, 31169, 31175, 31178, 36687
A good point to start, much better than searching for not existing recipes.
I Found id=12709 in the Tradingpost (ingame) “Pot of Pumpkin Bisque”, made and sold it.
/v2/commerce/listings?id=12709 changed, but /v2/items?id=12709 still shows “text”:“no such id”, over 2h later.

How long does /v2/items need to update?
Since we’re doing betas on live, we switched most of the auto-updating endpoints to use an explicit whitelist (wherein I have to click a button before stuff escapes publicly). That said, when you first posted I immediately checked the queue for the pumpkin bisque and it wasn’t there — but it was there this morning.
The way the /v2/items (and /v2/recipes, for that matter) interact with the actual game servers is by monitoring a best-effort event log. Messages get lost and delayed and what not (distributed systems whoo) so I’m guessing the pumpkin bisque just took awhile to land. Should be appearing on the /v2/items list now (+/- 5 minutes) though.
For the other ones, I’m not really sure. When they’re bought/sold on the TP they should end up in the queue. I’ll do some more investigating, but my current theory is that they’re exceptionally low-volume items (or ones that have never been actually traded) and, for whatever reason, just haven’t made it into the list of items on /v2/items.

Yup, those are all the new gallant weapon skins; just went through the whitelist and blessed them all for public display.
queicherius.2563:
Sweet, thanks for that fast response.

Is this the best way to report missing items?

I wondered the same… The ones I’m missing are mostly the karma items. The entire Settler line (from Southsun, light) is not there, The Sylvari Heavy T2 is not shown… parts of the aurora line (light, I do have the shoes, and helm visible, but not the shoulders, gloves and body), etc.

Not really; it’s kind of a nightmare to hand-enter them. I’m working on some fixes to make the process more manageable (e.g., to auto-bless any items in the bank/material storage).
