Incomplete data for WOW Shadowlands?

API Discussion
1

Hi there,

I’d like to use the Profession API for WOW Shadowlands but, unless I’m doing something wrong, I feel like it’s not reliable right now?

I tried to retrieve data from /data/wow/recipe/42466, with options :

:region=eu
{recipeId}=42466
namespace=static-eu
locale=en_US

Result is :

{
  "_links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "https://eu.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/recipe/42466?namespace=static-9.0.2_36532-eu"
    }
  },
  "id": 42466,
  "name": "Sweet Silvergill Sausages",
  "media": {
    "key": {
      "href": "https://eu.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/media/recipe/42466?namespace=static-9.0.2_36532-eu"
    },
    "id": 42466
  },
  "crafted_item": {
    "key": {
      "href": "https://eu.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/item/172050?namespace=static-9.0.2_36532-eu"
    },
    "name": "Sweet Silvergill Sausages",
    "id": 172050
  },
  "reagents": [
    {
      "reagent": {
        "key": {
          "href": "https://eu.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/item/173034?namespace=static-9.0.2_36532-eu"
        },
        "name": "Silvergill Pike",
        "id": 173034
      },
      "quantity": 3
    }
  ],
  "rank": 1,
  "crafted_quantity": {
    "value": 3
  }
}

As you can see, result is wrong : Medley of Transplanar Spices are missing.

My goal is to retrieve reagents for a given recipe ; is there an other way to do it using the API? Since WOWhead’s data are right, I guess there’s a way somehow to bypass this API?

Thanks !

You could try reporting this over the API bug report forum

I guess most of Wowhead information comes from their addon and the data is datamined from the game client. Not really a bypass but actually a different source.

Thanks for the answer, I reported this.

This is the first time I’m using the Blizzard API, I hope this kind of issues is not too frequent :confused:
