Data API
Read WoW Forever game data in your own tools. Talents, spells, racials and items as JSON, with a first request, field reference and examples from the game.
How we know: every record here is read from the game’s own files: build 1.60.1.70630, read on 27 Oct 2026 by reader 24. 347 records have a ? in a text we fill in from the game’s templates, mostly a number the files do not hold, left open rather than guessed. A record in the files does not prove it is live in the game. How we know.
Make your first request
No API key or account is needed. With curl installed, request a class’s talents:
curl --fail 'https://wowforever.news/api/v1/talents?class=mage&limit=5'Open this request in your browser. Check build and read, then read the results list. total counts every matching record. An empty list is a successful request with no matches.
How to filter records
Combine a listing’s filters with &. Use the values in the reference below; class and origin labels ignore capitalization. URL-encode spaces and punctuation.
To find items with “staff” in their name, highest item level first:
curl --fail 'https://wowforever.news/api/v1/items?q=staff&sort=-level&limit=5'Open the item search. For one record, request its url without query parameters. A single-record response uses result, singular.
What the data holds
4,894 of the 21,990 numbered records are numbered as made for WoW Forever. Most of the rest are numbered as original Classic.
Original ClassicA later expansionSeason of DiscoveryMade for WoW ForeverEach bar is its own total
Show as a table
| Original Classic | A later expansion | Season of Discovery | Made for WoW Forever | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Talents | 350 | 0 | 38 | 77 | 465 |
| Class spells | 1715 | 4 | 406 | 169 | 2294 |
| Items | 12587 | 82 | 1914 | 4648 | 19231 |
Origin is our reading of the number the game gives each record, not proof of where a record can be found in play. Racials, Zones and Achievements carry no such number.
Endpoint and field reference
All endpoints use GET and return JSON. Each record listing takes the shared parameters below, plus its own filters.
Parameters on every record listing
qstring- part of a name: 60 characters at most, none of them a control character
At most 60 characters
internalstring- true to include Blizzard's own working records
false,true sortstring- name, the order every listing but the talents comes in; talents come by tree (class, then the tree as the game orders its tabs, then row, then column) unless name is asked for; items also level or -level (highest first)
limitinteger- 1 to 100, 50 when left out
1–100 · Default: 50
offsetinteger- records to skip
0–1,000,000 · Default: 0
The filter values shown for a reading list player records. Values held only by Blizzard’s working records are accepted too; use internal=true to include those records. class accepts druid, hunter, mage, paladin, priest, rogue, shaman, warlock, warrior; origin accepts classic, later, sod, forever. Each listing’s sort values and default appear with that listing.
Field types describe values found in this reading; another build may also use null. Every listed record field is present. Examples are selected from the store by rule and can change with the next reading.
Fields on every record
kindstring- What the record is: talent, spell, racial, item, zone or achievement.
idstring- What this API calls it, always text. An item's, a zone's and an achievement's is its number in the game (19019); a talent's and a spell's is its class and its spell's number (mage-11366); a racial's is its race and its name (orc-blood-fury).
namestring- Its name as the game shows it.
classnull / string- The one class it belongs to, in small letters. null for a racial, and for an item that is not for one class alone (see classes).
originnull / string- Where it was first made, told by its number in the game: classic (original Classic), later (a later expansion), sod (Season of Discovery) or forever (made for WoW Forever). null for a racial: the files give it no number to tell it by.
urlstring- Where this one record is read.
iconnull / string- The name of its icon's file in the game, without folder or ending. Its picture, read from that file, is at https://wowforever.news/icons/<icon>.png (a name with a space has none). null when the files name none.
internalboolean- true for one of Blizzard's own working records, not meant for players: its name carries a note of theirs such as Deprecated, Test or [PH]. Listings leave these out unless internal=true is asked for; each can still be read by its id.
textnull / string- Its description as the game's tooltip words it, for a level 60 character before gear. A ? stands for a number the files do not hold. A talent's is its first rank's; an item's is its own line of description in the tooltip. null when it has none.

25 talent fields
mechanicsobject- Versioned raw client mechanic evidence for the base spell, or null; see spells.mechanics. Do not infer cross-player ownership, stacking or server behavior from these records.
rank_mechanicsarray- Point allocations for each talent rank, or null. Effects expose level-60 before-gear points_min/points_max calculated by our tooltip reader, with curve_id and operation_type from TraitDefinitionEffectPoints. These are effect points, not player damage, healing or proc uptime; ranks share the base spell ID.
headersobject- Base-client headers for the talent's spell ID, or null when unavailable. These are decoded client records, not player-effective values or an in-game verification. Rank descriptions do not imply matching headers for every rank. See spells.headers.
tooltiparray- The lines of its spell's tooltip between the name and the description, as the game lays them out and words them: see spells.tooltip. [] for a passive talent.
treestring- The talent tree it is in, by the name on the tree's tab (Arcane, Fire, Frost).
rowinteger- Its row in the tree, counted from the top: 1 is the top row.
colinteger- Its place in that row, counted from the left: 1 is the leftmost column.
ranksinteger- How many points can be put into it.
rank_textsarray- Its description at each rank, the first rank first: as many as ranks. text is the first of them.
openboolean- true when one of its texts holds a ?: a number the game's files do not hold, left open rather than guessed.
pointsinteger / null- How many points must be spent in its tree before it can be taken, as the tree's own condition says (10 for Pyroblast's row); null for none.
requiresarray- The talent it needs first, as the tree's edges say (Presence of Mind before Arcane Power): a list of {spell, name}, [] for none. An edge drawn both ways between two talents says no order and names none.
spellinteger- The number the game gives the talent's spell.
levelinteger / null- The level a character learns it at, as the game's spell level table gives it (Requires level 1 on Shadow Bolt's first rank); null when the table gives none.
teachesarray- The numbers of the spells this one teaches when learned (a book's or a trainer's spell teaches the ability), from the game's own table of what teaches what. [] for none; null when the build read did not hold that table.
learned_fromarray- The numbers of the spells that teach this one, the same table the other way. [] for none; null when the table was not read.
mechanicnull / string- The game's own word for what its category does to a target (Stunned, Rooted, Disarmed), or null for none or when the table was not read.
dispelnull / string- The game's own word for what removes it (Magic, Curse, Poison, Disease), or null for none or when the table was not read.
affectsarray- The spells of its own class family that its effects change, each {spell, name}: the effects' class masks matched against the family masks of the class's spells, so a talent that says "your Fireball and Pyroblast" names them here from the files, not the text. [] for none; null when the table was not read.
affected_byarray- The talents and spells whose effects change this one, the same match the other way, each {spell, name}. [] for none; null when the table was not read.
ppmnull- Its procs per minute when the files give one, or null.
summonsarray- For each summon effect, what it brings: {creature, name, kind}: the creature's number, its name when the client holds it (the client holds few creatures, so mostly null) and what the game calls the summoned (pet, guardian, totem, companion). [] for none; null when the tables were not read.
enchantsarray- For each effect that puts an enchantment on an item (a shaman's weapon imbue, a rogue's poison, a rune): {id, name, duration_s, charges, effects}, the enchantment as the game's table has it, each effect {kind, amount, spell, name}: what it does in words (while equipped, chance on hit to cast, a stat or a resistance by name), its points, and the spell it casts with its name when it casts one. [] for none; null when the table was not read.
interrupted_byarray- What stops its cast, in words by the game's flags (moving, being pushed back, an interrupt, taking damage); a flag without a word is kept as its bit. [] for none; null when the table was not read.
breaks_onarray- What ends the aura it applies, in words by the game's flags (taking damage, moving, casting, attacking, mounting …); a flag without a word is kept as its bit. [] for none; null when the table was not read.

mechanicsobject- Version 2 base-client-record evidence, or null: source.build/reader describe the actual decoded tables; missing_tables lists unavailable inputs. effects retains numeric effect_type/aura_type/mechanic, implicit_targets as [A,B], four spell_class_mask words, trigger_spell_id, base_points, radius_yards (the effect's area from its radius index, null for none) and the raw SpellEffect row. misc, aura_options, target_restrictions and duration retain raw base rows or null. related_spells bundles triggered records (maximum 64); related_spells_truncated declares incomplete closure. Zero remains zero; unknown enums are not named. unsupported explicitly lists server behavior, ownership, stacking exclusivity and aura-state prerequisites. No in-game verification or automatic synergy guarantee.
headersobject- Base-client spell headers, or null. Sections costs, cast, range, cooldown and reagents may each be null when unknown. Costs retain all resource rows and flat, percentage, per-level, recurring and conditional amounts; they are not a calculated player cost. Cast base_ms/minimum_ms/static_ms and cooldown ability_ms/category_ms/gcd_ms are milliseconds; GCD is separate from ability cooldown. Range keeps friendly and hostile min/max yards plus melee flags. Reagents are exact item IDs/counts without inferred names. Passive, channeled, next_melee (it strikes with the next melee swing) and drains_all_power flags qualify display. This is client evidence, not confirmed gameplay or an in-game tooltip receipt.
tooltiparray- The lines of its tooltip between the name and the description, as the game lays them out and words them: rows of [left, right], cost and range first (3,400 Mana | 40 yd range), then cast time and cooldown (Instant | 30 sec cooldown), then one row for each thing it needs (Requires Battle Stance; Requires Shields; Tools: Air Totem; Reagents: Sacred Candle); null for an empty side. Read from the files, so before talents and gear. A part we cannot read for certain is left out rather than guessed. [] for a passive spell, which shows none; null when the spell's details are not known.
topboolean- true for the highest rank of the spell its class has (Rank 6 of Power Word: Fortitude), for a spell without ranks, and for a variant the game names apart under the same name (Polymorph: Turtle, Sunfire: Cat). false for every lower rank, for a part of a ranked spell that carries no rank, and for Blizzard's working records.
spellinteger- The number the game gives this spell. Each rank of a spell has a number of its own.
ranknull / string- The word the game writes under the name: mostly its rank (Rank 3), sometimes another (Passive, Summon). null when none.
taught_byinteger / null- For a hunter pet's ability: the number of the spell the hunter learns in order to teach it. null for every other spell.
petnull / string- For an ability of a warlock's demon: the demon that casts it (Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus, Felhunter). Its class is the warlock's. null for every other spell.
levelinteger / null- The level a character learns it at, as the game's spell level table gives it (Requires level 1 on Shadow Bolt's first rank); null when the table gives none.
teachesarray- The numbers of the spells this one teaches when learned (a book's or a trainer's spell teaches the ability), from the game's own table of what teaches what. [] for none; null when the build read did not hold that table.
learned_fromarray- The numbers of the spells that teach this one, the same table the other way. [] for none; null when the table was not read.
mechanicnull / string- The game's own word for what its category does to a target (Stunned, Rooted, Disarmed), or null for none or when the table was not read.
dispelnull / string- The game's own word for what removes it (Magic, Curse, Poison, Disease), or null for none or when the table was not read.
affectsarray- The spells of its own class family that its effects change, each {spell, name}: the effects' class masks matched against the family masks of the class's spells, so a talent that says "your Fireball and Pyroblast" names them here from the files, not the text. [] for none; null when the table was not read.
affected_byarray- The talents and spells whose effects change this one, the same match the other way, each {spell, name}. [] for none; null when the table was not read.
ppmnull- Its procs per minute when the files give one, or null.
summonsarray- For each summon effect, what it brings: {creature, name, kind}: the creature's number, its name when the client holds it (the client holds few creatures, so mostly null) and what the game calls the summoned (pet, guardian, totem, companion). [] for none; null when the tables were not read.
enchantsarray- For each effect that puts an enchantment on an item (a shaman's weapon imbue, a rogue's poison, a rune): {id, name, duration_s, charges, effects}, the enchantment as the game's table has it, each effect {kind, amount, spell, name}: what it does in words (while equipped, chance on hit to cast, a stat or a resistance by name), its points, and the spell it casts with its name when it casts one. [] for none; null when the table was not read.
interrupted_byarray- What stops its cast, in words by the game's flags (moving, being pushed back, an interrupt, taking damage); a flag without a word is kept as its bit. [] for none; null when the table was not read.
breaks_onarray- What ends the aura it applies, in words by the game's flags (taking damage, moving, casting, attacking, mounting …); a flag without a word is kept as its bit. [] for none; null when the table was not read.

Raid buffs
The buffs and debuffs a class, a spec or a hunter's pet brings to a raid: how far each reaches, whom it helps, what it does not stack with, and the game records it rests on. Written by hand, each with its source and how sure it is.
GET /api/v1/raid-buffs Everything at once; no query parameters
Fields of each entry of buffs
id- Never changes and is never given to another buff: saved plans and share links hold it.
order- Where a raid leader sees it among buffs of equal standing, 1 first: the order Guilds Forever's planner showed until 19 October 2026, kept when it switched to this API. A planner sorts by it once; the place in buffs stays fixed.
name- What it is called in a raid. A name several spells share says so (Demoralizing Shout or Roar); cast_as names each.
label- A short name, for a small tile.
icon- The game's name of its icon; the picture is at /icons/<icon>.png.
kind- buff (on players), debuff (on the enemy) or utility (summons, a battle resurrection, a cast on one ally).
scope- raid: one caster covers the whole raid; party: the caster's own party.
from- Who brings it, as class:spec (druid:feral_tank), with * for every spec of the class. The class and spec ids are Guilds Forever's planner's.
record- The address of the record whose tooltip stands for it: the highest rank of its spell, or a talent's record when the buff is the talent's own and no spell of it is trained higher (Leader of the Pack).
rests_on- The addresses of every record what is written here rests on: when the game changes one, this buff is to be checked again.
talents- The addresses of the talents any one of which gives it: a player's own talents count before a guess from the spec. [] when no talent is needed.
cast_as- When the name is shared, what each provider casts, keyed as in from: its name, its own icon (null when it is the buff's) and its record (null when it is a choice of several, as Fire, Frost or Shadow). {} otherwise.
hunter_pet- A hunter brings it only with this pet out (an id of hunter_pets); null otherwise.
helps- Whom it feeds, of melee, ranged, caster, healer and tank. null when it helps everyone.
mana_only- true when it does nothing for a player without mana.
wants- For a party buff, the kinds of player a party needs it for, of the same five; [] for nobody unless asked. null when not said.
not_with- The ids of other buffs it does not stack with inside one party.
seat- One for each player of the class: group (curse or judge) and order. Each further warlock (or paladin, for judgements) brings the next in the order. null otherwise.
slot- What a player gives up for it when only one of a kind runs at a time: aura (a paladin's one aura), or earth, fire, water or air (a shaman's one totem of each element). null otherwise.
must- true when a raid should have it: counted as missing when nobody brings it.
situational- true when only some fights need it: never counted as missing.
bonus- true when it counts when someone brings it but is never missing (a hunter's pet's buff).
uncertain- The id of the open question it depends on (see uncertain), or null.
confidence- How sure what is written is: high, medium or low.
source- Where it was learned: an id of sources.
note- What a raid leader needs to know of it, in a sentence or a few.
being_checked- Added by the API: the addresses of the records it rests on that read otherwise now (name, rank, whether it is its spell's highest, text, ranks' texts, tooltip lines) than in the build it was last checked against (checked_against), or that are gone. While the list is not empty it is being checked; [] when nothing changed.
Parts of the answer
knowledge- The version of what is written here: the day it last changed. It changes when we change it, not with the build.
checked_against- The build every piece was last checked against (being_checked says what changed since).
taken_over- Where it was first written, and what was changed when we took it over.
buffs- Every buff, debuff and raid tool, in a fixed order: one is only ever added at the end, so a place in the list keeps its meaning.
blessings- The ids of the paladin Blessings a player may be given, one each: whoever casts it, a second one replaces the first.
hunter_pets- The pets a planner tells apart, in a fixed order: id, label, ability, the buff it brings (null for none), what it gives, the record of its ability, rests_on and being_checked (as a buff's).
resistances- For each school, who raises its resistance: class, spell, the buff it is, whether it is an aura (a paladin's one aura) and the spell's record. An empty list for a school nobody raises. Its buff's being_checked covers it.
uncertain- The open questions a buff can depend on, by id: what is not confirmed in WoW Forever, and how sure the guess is.
sources- Where what is written was learned, by id.
fields- What each part and field means: this table.
Class tools
Who can do the jobs a raid needs covered (remove magic, curses, poison or disease, interrupt, purge, remove a Frenzy, bring back a dead player), and who has a healing cooldown or a defensive of their own: by class, spec, talent and pet, each with the words of its tooltip that show it.

How to read every page
Follow the response’s next address, keeping your filters. It starts with /api/v1/, so resolve it against https://wowforever.news. Stop when next is null. If the build or read date changes during your requests, start again to avoid combining readings.
Unknowns and client-only evidence
null means a field has no value for that record. A ? marks a number we could not resolve from the files. Talent ranks are in rank_texts; each rank of a class spell is a separate record. An item’s stats maps stat names to amounts; effects lists its tooltip effects, including any spell it teaches.
Client data alone does not establish that an ability is live or an item is obtainable. Read How we know before treating a record as a confirmed gameplay fact.
Limits, answers and caching
Listings return 50 records by default. Set limit from 1 to 100, and offset to skip records, or follow next.
The API allows 120 requests per minute per address. Successful answers carry an ETag: send it back as If-None-Match on a later request. An answer may be kept for 3,600 seconds; respect the returned cache headers.

New in the APIA game build readA fix
A game build read: 27 Oct 2026 · Build 1.60.1.70630 · Current build
158 records differ from build 1.60.1.70532 (added, removed or changed): 99 spells, 31 talents, 27 items, 1 zone. Each is listed at
/api/v1/changes.A fix: 20 Oct 2026 · #53
The paladin Vengeance note counts only melee crit as feeding it: whether a heal's or a Holy spell's crit counts is an open question of the note, so a raid's Moonkin Form no longer marks it as covered.
New in the API: 19 Oct 2026 · #51
Each buff of /api/v1/raid-buffs carries order, the order raid leaders saw in Guilds Forever's planner, so a planner's list keeps it while the list itself stays in its fixed order.

Nearly every icon of the game is at /icons/<name>.png, not only those our records name: 30,151 pictures read from the game's own files. The 259 whose file names hold a space or another such sign have no address.

Arcane Wrath is a Mage talent (Arcane, row 4, column 4), as the game shows it: its node belongs to no tab's group, so the reader now places such a node by its position. Thorns says its damage (it said ?), a hunter's shots and stings and Summon Hawk say Instant, and the Trueshot Aura buff points at its highest rank, as every other buff does. The build is read again for it; nothing is recorded as a game change.

Three addresses of what a raid planner needs to know: raid buffs, class tools and notes for every talent and class spell, each marking what a new build changed under it. Spells and talents carry their tooltip lines in the game's wording, a spell its highest rank and a demon's ability its demon; the warlock's demons' abilities and 81 more class spells were added, and icons come from our own address. Our copy of the data moved to a new layout, and the API answered 503 while it was rebuilt.
