Raid bosses media API

Hi all,

In my web application, I would like to collect and display the profile image of each boss in a raid. I followed the various chains of APIs until I got to an actual link to the image (for example render-eu.worldofwarcraft .com /npcs /zoom / creature-display-92912.jpg for Wrathion) but I am greeted by an ugly 403 Forbidden page.
I don’t want to download the image, just display the image inside an image HTML tag.
Surely I am missing something, I’d like some help figuring out what.

Thank you so much.

Kind regards.

Hi SilentStorm,

This appears to be a bug where the render for Wration at creature-display-92912 is missing.

Could you please provide the URL (please ommit the oauth token value) to the media document where this asset is referenced?

Thank you.

Hi Maguthul,

Thank you for your response.

Here’s the list of all the links for Nyalotha:

The only one that gives me a jpg image is Shad’har the Insatiable with an id of 19368 (I presume quite old compared to the 92000+ of the most recent). The remainder gives me a 403 message.

Kind regards,
SilentStorm

Hi SilentStorm,

Thank you for these detailed notes.

As you’ve noted, we determined that a number of creature-display records were missing their static assets. We’ve now published these missing assets.

Thank you again and please do let us know if you experience any further issues.
