The heart vendor http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lahri sells an item called “Recipe: Owl Amulet”.
I used the /wiki command and shift click to get the chat code from the vendor window which takes me to http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/?search=[&AgFLJQAA].
That got me the item id of 9547.
https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/item_details.json?item_id=9547 says invalid item_id.

I am not sure what point you are trying to make?

As healix already pointed out, the “Recipe: Owl Amulet” is actually id 9565. I’ve just checked my local database for 9547 and it hasn’t ever existed in the API (even before the wipe). Also keep in mind that a lot of items (mostly from Karma vendors) are missing and just don’t show up.

Check either http://gw2wbot.darthmaim.de/smiley/ or http://gw2treasures.de (same database working there in the background)

Except the one healix pointed is the wrong item. That one actually teaches Jeweled Broach. 9547 is what GW2.exe reports(since it’s the one generating the chatcode).

Your last point makes sense but that leads to the obvious question. Why is the API missing items?

I guess I should add a [bug] to the title or something.

This is a well known problem and has already been reported multiple times – why not just use the existing thread for error reports?
