The recently released JSON APIs for GW2 are awesome (thanks! <3), but I noticed while we have access to the UUID of guilds holding certain objectives in WvW (for instance https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/wvw/match_details.json?match_id=2-3 ), there doesn’t appear to be any way to get the names of these guilds.

A way to retrieve the guild names would be much appreciated.

Perhaps they can add a guild table or a way to call a guild by UUID. I’m certain a complete data dump of all guilds is out of the question but it would be nice if there was some way to call a guild by guild_id

I totally agree, we definitely need this. I wanted to get it into the first version of the API, but it didn’t quite make it. Look for a guild ID to name API in a future update.
