Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone, do we have an API option to search item ID by using the name as parameter?

I stumbled upon this post
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/Item-ID-by-name/first (2 years old)
they said: "that’s being worked on, it’ll be a month or two until it’s ready to use. "

But I still didn’t see it on https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API:Main (and I don’t think it will be implemented anytime soon)

And so…. do you guys know any method or third party API to get item ID by name parameter? looping through thousand of ID just to find one item is too much

Thank you

Hello,
someone already build such an API: http://www.gw2shinies.com/doc-api
I don’t know how big your project is, but if it is a bigger one I would ask the developer for permission.

Otherwise it is very easy to build your own service with a document store database such as MongoDB or CouchDB and a simple Java or Node.js backend.

Best regards.

Thank you for the information, That’s exactly what I need right now
(at least until we have our own official name to id API)

Best regards.
