Currently i see no way to search the items/recipes by name, unless i build my own item cache. To build the item cache myself i would need to send over 26000 (amount of items, excluding recipes) requests to get all the names for all the items. Or is there some other way?

If there is such a thing as item_names.json (the same way map_names.json works) it would be fairly easy and a whole lot faster to build a item cache, so users could search item by name.

Perhaps someone else already pointed this out or even found a better way to do it, but i couldn’t find it here on the forum.

Also including a way to fetch the item images and wiki link would be awesome.
I’ve already made my own module to add the wiki link to events and such, but if it could be included by the api right away that would be even more awesome.

Sadly, the items.json only returns ids and no names. So, in order to build that list, you’ll have to do the 26.000+ calls at least once. (my counter is now at 23.231 items, and I’ve not updated my list after yesterday’s update)

There is a thread out here somewhere which contains a few links to cached JSON files which you can use as base though.

Thanks. I feared as much.
