I’ll try to keep a list of currently known bugs and missing items in the item API.
(It seems like the item API doesn’t get much love at the moment.)

Recipe unlock items
Too many to list them all, most seem to be sold by karma vendors

Salvage kits
Fine Salvage Kit
Journeyman’s Salvage Kit
Master’s Salvage Kit

Other items
Philosopher’s Stone
Siege Masters Guide
Eldritch Scroll
Stein of Highlander Beer
Mini Infinirarium
Icy Runestone
Mad King Chest
Gift of Maw of the Deep

Moto’s weapon designs from september SAB update

Gemstore PvP skins

PvE cultural armor

Listed IDs without any details
43948
43949
(Both should be “Bag of Coins”)

Items with wrong names
{{Clerics Chainmail Helm}} (ID 39925) in en, de and fr. No name for es
Vial of Qucksilver -> Should be “Vial of Quicksilver”


Original post below
———————————————————————————————
Currently the recipe API gives us 815 recipes with the property “LearnedFromItem”
But the item API only has 599 recipe unlock items.

Is there any chance we can get the missing 216 recipe items?
(If required i can attach a list of recipe_id which do not have an unlock item)

As far as I’ve understand, only “discovered” items are listed in the API, but this does not seem to be retroactive.

Especially for the legendary recipes or those which are not commonly used/found (i.e. dungeon trinkets) it would be nice to get the items listed, if the recipe is already discovered.

There’s a bug in the “item discovery” code that prevents some items from being flagged as “discovered.” Mostly this affects items purchased from karma vendors – the recipe sheets for rare/exotic insignias/inscriptions and sheets for random stuff from Renown NPCs.

The legendary gifts are purchased for coin from Miyani, but it seems like the same bug affects them.

Just a little update:

It seems like an massive amount of items is missing from the API
(see also: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/Missing-items-in-Items-api/first)

Just to add some more missing items:

Master’s Salvage Kit (Item ID 23043 according to the working chat link from gw2db.com)
-> but the API says “invalid item_id”
(https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/item_details.json?item_id=23043)

Journeyman’s Salvage Kit (Item ID 23042)

A this state the item API is somewhat useless to work with it.
(Although I did manage to create an “Search recipe by ingredient” function)

It’s far from useless. Recipe sheets and salvage kits are the only gaps I know of.

Ok, “useless” is a bit exagerrated, but it’s still annoying.

I agree. There are things I know that are in the game, but I just can’t find the in-game code for…

But my database is slowly growing, as I notice new items are added to it daily. So, maybe one day it’ll be complete..

Yep, some items are added when they were discovered in game, which is perfectly fine.
But some are just missing, which are definitely discovered and therefore should be listed in the API.

My list of currently missing items (some of them are uncommon/expensive, so they may be not discovered) :

Master’s Salvage Kit
Philosopher’s Stone
Siege Masters Guide
Fine Salvage Kit
Journeyman’s Salvage Kit
Eldritch Scroll
Stein of Highlander Beer
Mini Infinirarium
Icy Runestone
Mad King Chest
Gift of Maw of the Deep

and one item with an wrong name:
Vial of Qucksilver (should be Vial of Quicksilver)

Notice that they are all account/soulbound.

And there is more missing. The gemstore PvP skins are not in there as well. Nor are the PvE cultural armours (but you can find them in the PvP category).

Holy cow, I never noticed that. But the API uses the same underlying data as the game does, so I checked, and yes, that is the name of the item in-game as well. Funny that no one ever noticed that until now. I’ll go move the wiki page.

Just to add some more:

Moto’s weapon designs from latest update (most of the weapon skins are already listed, so i guess s.o. had bought them already …)
