This is the documentation for the RESTful APIs exposed through the World of Warcraft community site as a service to the World of Warcraft community.
To view the inlined gist json examples you should view this document at http://blizzard.github.com/api-wow-docs/.
The Blizzard Community Platform API provides a number of resources for developers and Wow enthusiasts to gather data about their characters, guilds and arena teams. This documentation is primarily for developers and third parties.
Blizzard's epic gaming experiences often take place in game, but can lead to rewarding and lasting experiences out of game as well. Through exposing key sets of data, we can enable the community to create extended communities to continue that epic experience.
Before getting started with the Community Platform API, programmers must first understand how the API is organized and how it works. The following sections provide a high level overview of the features of this API. It is recommended that the reader have knowledge of the HTTP protocol as well as a general understanding of web technologies.
The API is mostly RESTful. Data is exposed in the form of URIs that represent resources and can be fetched with HTTP clients (like web browsers). At this time, the API is limited to read-only operations.
The character and guild API resources do honor HTTP requests that contain the "If-Modified-Since" header.
To access the API, HTTP requests can be made to specific URLs and resources exposed on the regional Battle.net domains.
The data available through the API is limited to the region that it is in. Hence, US APIs accessed through us.battle.net will only contain data within US battlegroups and realms. Support for locales is limited to those supported on the World of Warcraft community sites.
All of the API resources provided adhere to the practice of providing localized strings using the locale query string parameter. The locales supported vary from region to region and align with those supported on the community sites.
To access a different region just provide the locale=pt_BR (for
example) query parameter.
Example URL for the europe character race list localized in French
http://eu.battle.net/api/wow/data/character/races?locale=fr_FR
| Region | Host | Available Locales |
|---|---|---|
| US | us.battle.net |
en_US es_MX pt_BR |
| Europe | eu.battle.net |
en_GB es_ES fr_FR ru_RU de_DE pt_PT it_IT |
| Korea | kr.battle.net | ko_KR |
| Taiwan | tw.battle.net | zh_TW |
| China | www.battlenet.com.cn | zh_CN |
Consumers of the API can make a limited number of requests per day, as stated in the API Policy and Terms of Use. For anonymous consumers of the API, the number of requests that can be made per day is set to 3,000. Once that threshold is reached, depending on site activity and performance, subsequent requests may be denied. High limits are available to registered applications.
Although most of the application can be accessed without any form of authentication, we do support a form application registration and authentication. Application authentication involves creating and including an application identifier and a request signature and including those values with the request headers.
The primary benefit to making requests as an authenticated application is that you can make more requests per day.
NOTE While we work on improving the authentication process we're no longer handing out api keys. All anonymous requests have the same limit as a normal key.
To authenticate a request, simple include the "Authorization" header with your application identifier and the request signature.
An example authenticated request
GET /api/wow/character/Medivh/Thrall HTTP/1.1
Host: us.battle.net
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 20:59:24 GMT
Authorization: BNET c1fbf21b79c03191d:+3fE0RaKc+PqxN0gi8va5GQC35A=
In the above exmple, the value of the Authorization header has three
parts "BNET", "c1fbf21b79c03191d" and
"+3fE0RaKc+PqxN0gi8va5GQC35A=". The first part is a processing
directive for the Authorization header. The second and third values
are the application public key and the request signature. The
application public key is assigned by Blizzard during the application
registration process. The signature is generated with each request and
is described by the following algorithm.
UrlPath = <HTTP-Request-URI, from the port to the query string>
StringToSign = HTTP-Verb + "\n" +
Date + "\n" +
UrlPath + "\n";
Signature = Base64( HMAC-SHA1( UTF-8-Encoding-Of( PrivateKey ), StringToSign ) );
Header = "Authorization: BNET" + " " + PublicKey + ":" + Signature;
The above process can be seen in action by filling in the blanks:
UrlPath = "/api/wow/realm/status"
StringToSign = "GET" + "\n" +
"Fri, 10 Jun 2011 21:37:34 GMT" + "\n" +
UrlPath + "\n";
Signature = Base64( HMAC-SHA1( UTF-8-Encoding-Of( "examplesecret" ), StringToSign ) );
Header = "Authorization: BNET" + " " + "examplekey" + ":" + Signature;
The date timestamp used in the above algorithm and example is the value of the Date HTTP header. The two date values, the first being used to sign the request and the second as sent with the request headers, must be the same and within 5 minutes of the current GMT time.
Important We strongly advise that client library developers make secure requests using SSL whenever application authentication is used.
Data returned in the response message is provided in JSON format. Please refer to the examples provided with each API section for additional information.
Although several of the API resources have specific error responses that correspond to specific situations, there are several generic error responses that you should be aware of.
Errors are returned as JSON objects that contain "status" and "reason" attributes. The value of the "status" attribute will always be "nok". The reason will be an english string that may be, but is not limited to, one of the following strings.
| Code | Message | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | Invalid Application | A request was made including application identification information, but either the application key is invalid or missing. |
| 500 | Invalid application permissions. | A request was made to an API resource that requires a higher application permission level. |
| 500 | Access denied, please contact [email protected] | The application or IP address has been blocked from making further requests. This ban may not be permanent. |
| 404 | When in doubt, blow it up. (page not found) | A request was made to a resource that doesn't exist. |
| 500 | If at first you don't succeed, blow it up again. (too many requests) | The application or IP has been throttled. |
| 500 | Have you not been through enough? Will you continue to fight what you cannot defeat? (something unexpected happened) | There was a server error or equally catastrophic exception preventing the request from being fulfilled. |
| 500 | Invalid authentication header. | The application authorization information was mallformed or missing when expected. |
| 500 | Invalid application signature. | The application request signature was missing or invalid. This will also be thrown if the request date outside of a 15 second window from the current GMT time. |
An example API request and and error response

- Example Data
- [achievement.json](https://gist.github.com/3772776#file_achievement.json)
Auction APIs currently provide rolling batches of data about current auctions. Fetching auction dumps is a two step process that involves checking a per-realm index file to determine if a recent dump has been generated and then fetching the most recently generated dump file if necessary.
This API resource provides a per-realm list of recently generated auction house data dumps.
URL = Host + "/api/wow/auction/data/" + realm
There are no required query string parameters when accessing this resource.
- Example URL
- [/api/wow/auction/data/medivh](http://us.battle.net/api/wow/auction/data/medivh)
- Example Data
- [auction-data.json](https://gist.github.com/3772776#file_auction_data.json)
The current auctions data is represented as JSON structures containing auction data for the three auctions houses available on each realm. This file is served as a static file from the url listed in the above request. This means that it does not respond to locale or json parameters because it is not part of the api service. Requests to the actual data file also do not count towards any request limits.
URL = Host + "/api/wow/battlePet/ability/" + AbilityID
This provides data about a individual battle pet ability ID. We do not provide the tooltip for the ability yet. We are working on a better way to provide this since it depends on your pet's species, level and quality rolls.

URL = Host + "/api/wow/challenge/" + Realm
Realm = <proper realm name> | <normalized realm name>
The data in this request has data for all 9 challenge mode maps (currently). The map field includes the current medal times for each dungeon. Inside each ladder we provide data about each character that was part of each run. The character data includes the current cached spec of the character while the member field includes the spec of the character during the challenge mode run.

With the continued popularity of third-party applications, which are referred to hereafter as "applications" or "web applications", created by the community of players for use with our games, Blizzard Entertainment has created formal guidelines for their design and distribution. These guidelines have been put in place to ensure the integrity of our games and to help promote an enjoyable gaming environment for all of our players.
Thank you for reading these guidelines, and for helping Blizzard Entertainment continue to deliver high-quality gameplay experiences.
The Third-Party API Usage Policy is for developers developing applications, where applications include distributed and non-distributed products and services that at any point engage Blizzard Entertainment Web API resources. Web API resources include any data that can be accessed through HTTP requests to URLs on the Battle.net website that begin with "/api".
Example applications include, but are not limited to:
- Client libraries
- Desktop applications
- Services and deamons such as websites and web services
- Scripts and non-compiled applications and utilities
Blizzard Entertainment reserves the right to change the location and definition of what constitutes an application and Blizzard Entertainment Web API resources at any time.
Blizzard Entertainment makes no guarantee of the availability of any data, functionality, or feature provided by or through the API. In addition, Blizzard Entertainment may at any time revoke access to the API or disable part or all of the API without any warning or notice.
Applications must abide by the following access guidelines.
The following guidelines have been put in place to ensure that all users of an API will be able to access it:
- Applications may make up to a total of 10,000 unauthenticated requests per day.
- Applications may make up to a total of 50,000 authenticated requests per day.
- Applications may not use multiple forms of access, including making any combination of unauthenticated and authenticated requests or using multiple API keys, to make more requests than permitted by the guidelines above. Applications may not use other third-party services to make additional requests on their behalf.
- Applications may not sell, share, transfer, or distribute application access keys or tokens.
Applications may be classified, solely at Blizzard Entertainment's discretion, to allow fewer or greater numbers of requests per day. Blizzard Entertainment also reserves the right to revoke access to the API completely and without warning.
"Premium" versions of applications offering additional for-pay features are not permitted, nor can players be charged money to download an application, charged for services related to the application, or otherwise be required to offer some form of monetary compensation to download or access an application when those features use the API. Applications may not include interstitials soliciting donations before features or functionality becomes available to the player.
Applications must perform no function which, in Blizzard Entertainment's sole discretion, negatively impacts the performance of Blizzard Entertainment games or services, or otherwise negatively affects the game for other players.
The programming code of an application must in no way be hidden or obfuscated, and must be freely accessible to and viewable by the general public.
Applications may not imply any association with, or endorsement by, Blizzard Entertainment.
Blizzard Entertainment requires that applications contain no offensive, obscene, or otherwise objectionable material, as determined by Blizzard's sole discretion. Applications should contain only content appropriate for the ESRB rating for the related game(s). For example, World of Warcraft has been rated "T for Teen" by the ESRB, and has received similar ratings from other ratings boards around the world.
Applications may not use names based on Blizzard's trademarks or taken from Blizzard's products as the name, or part of the name, of the application.
Applications that use Blizzard Entertainment intellectual property, such as Blizzard Web API resources, require a license for that use. Blizzard Entertainment may at its sole discretion request that any application that uses its intellectual property be removed and no longer distributed.
Blizzard Entertainment is committed to maintaining the integrity of our games and services and to providing safe, fair, and fun gaming environment for all of our players. As such, failure to abide by the guidelines in this policy may result in measures up to and including legal action, when necessary.
