Multiple (mostly) BCC Realms Missing Auction House Data

API Discussion

Hey Bliz! Muffin from TradeSkillMaster here :smiley:

It appears the following realm/faction combos are missing Auction entirely. The Auctions field is completely absent in the JSON response.

Region,Realm,ConnectedRealmId,Faction
Classic North America (BCC),Kurinnaxx,4399,Alliance
Classic North America (BCC),Herod,4406,Alliance
Classic North America (BCC),Thalnos,4407,Horde
Classic North America (BCC),Thalnos,4407,Alliance
Classic North America (BCC),Stalagg,4409,Alliance
Classic North America (BCC),Skeram,4410,Alliance
Classic North America (BCC),Rattlegore,4695,Alliance
Classic North America (BCC),Smolderweb,4696,Alliance
Classic North America (BCC),Incendius,4698,Horde
Classic North America (BCC),Kirtonos,4700,Alliance
Classic Europe (BCC),Stonespine,4705,Alliance
Classic Europe (BCC),Flamelash,4706,Alliance
Classic North America (BCC),Arcanite Reaper,4716,Horde
Classic North America (BCC),Heartseeker,4732,Horde
Classic North America (BCC),Sul'thraze,4737,Horde
Classic North America (BCC),Felstriker,4739,Alliance
Classic Europe (BCC),Noggenfogger,4741,Alliance
Classic Europe (BCC),Skullflame,4743,Alliance
Classic Europe (BCC),Dreadmist,4755,Alliance
Classic Europe (BCC),Ten Storms,4757,Alliance
Classic Europe (BCC),Judgement,4758,Horde
Classic Era Taiwan (SoM),Jasperlode Mine,5301,Horde

For example, the first realm on the list returns the following payload:

{
  "_links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "https://us.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/connected-realm/4399/auctions/2?namespace=dynamic-classic-us"
    }
  },
  "connected_realm": {
    "href": "https://us.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/connected-realm/4399?namespace=dynamic-classic-us"
  },
  "id": 2,
  "name": "Alliance Auction House"
}

Outside of the above cases, some realms such as Classic Europe (BCC),Judgement,4758,Alliance
the payload only contains 1 item:

{
  "_links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "https://eu.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/connected-realm/4758/auctions/2?namespace=dynamic-classic-eu"
    }
  },
  "connected_realm": {
    "href": "https://eu.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/connected-realm/4758?namespace=dynamic-classic-eu"
  },
  "auctions": [
    {
      "id": 1663965527,
      "item": {
        "id": 13465
      },
      "bid": 6969,
      "buyout": 696969,
      "quantity": 1,
      "time_left": "VERY_LONG"
    }
  ],
  "id": 2,
  "name": "Alliance Auction House"
}

I think you can consider a missing “auctions” field to mean there are no auctions on the auction house. You’ll probably see this a lot for the neutral auction house on low pop realms.

I just created a character on BCC Kurinnaxx Alliance, and the one auction currently shown in the API is the only auction that comes up when you search in Stormwind.

So, y’know, it could be that nothing’s broken, it’s just there are no/few auctions posted.

100% valid point - To be fair none of the auctions listed are Neutral.

I guess I just found it highly unlikely NOBODY on an ENTIRE faction was posting a SINGLE item on the AH haha but I guess anything is possible.
