Add ids for mounts and pets that match wowhead

API Discussion
1

When looking up pets and mounts I want to be able to provide links to item database (ie. wowhead) that use item ids. All these apis are only providing journal ids or creature ids that don’t all match the item ids used by wowhead. The old apis used to have the same ids for pets/mounts as used by wowhead. Would be nice to have additional field containing this id again!

For example. I want to link Snapper - NPC - World of Warcraft but the character pet profile api is returning only following info:

{
      "species": {
        "key": {
          "href": "https://eu.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/pet/2472?namespace=static-8.3.7_35114-eu"
        },
        "name": "Snapper",
        "id": 2472
      },
      "level": 1,
      "quality": {
        "type": "RARE",
        "name": "Rare"
      },
      "stats": {
        "breed_id": 6,
        "health": 170,
        "power": 10,
        "speed": 10
      },
      "creature_display": {
        "key": {
          "href": "https://eu.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/media/creature-display/81098?namespace=static-8.3.7_35114-eu"
        },
        "id": 81098
      },
      "id": 147454102
    }

You can link to mounts on wowhead at the /mount/6 path. I don’t think there’s a link like that for battle pets but I’m sure they’d be happy to add one.

I believe what you’re after is the spell ID associated with the collectible, which the API used to provide. There’ve been numerous requests for that to return.

Having the spell id would be preferable. I’m also doing filtering and having to find the journal ids for that is just extra step for me.

Sounds right. Since there have been NUMEROUS requests … Blizzard, can we have it back? :smiley:
