Easy way to compile API data?

in API Development

I want to make a crafting assistance utility, but the way the API is set-up makes things difficult for me. There’s the items and item_details repositories, but they make it incredibly difficult to mine the information I need to create my utility.

I have an enormous list of item ID’s over here, but I don’t know what items they go with until I make a call to the other repository. I tried to automate things, but I think I hit a rate limit because I’m required to make n+1 HTTP requests where n is the number of items in all of GW2.

Is there an API that makes things easier on me? Is there a way to go about this using the items and item_details lists better than I currently am?

As further explanation, I want to either collect information on all of the potential crafting materials and outputs (I’m focusing on cooking first) so I can form a database, or I want to be able to readily use information about an item or set of items as keys to refer to other items (essentially use the static API as it exists as my “database”, which I think is the point of its existence in the first place, but I can’t wrap my head around how it’s supposed to be useful as a pile of disembodied keys).

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

I am a complete tool-box. I never clicked “remember this network” when I completed authorization. I am monumentally dumb. :P

The only ranged listed does not include the IP from which I am currently connecting (which is also listed there). It doesn’t let me add the IP or a range of IP’s to the list of trusted ones.

I removed the listed ranged as a trusted range. Perhaps now it’ll replace the now absent range with a relevant one. I’ll report back once I try.

Every time I log in, I am required to authenticate via email. If my IP constantly changed, this would make sense.

However, though I don’t have a static IP, my IP definitely isn’t changing 3-4 times in 12 minutes (which is about how many times I had to login and authenticate to change my password at the client’s request).

The information contained in the authentication email (3 of which I received in 3 minutes) is always the same:
Address: 71.58.xxx.xxx (The x’d numbers are the same in each case.)
City: xxxxxxx
Region: PA
Country: US

Why is it being recognized as a new IP every time I login? More relevantly, how can I make it stop doing this (if it’s an option)?
