Additional items I need from the API

Hey all,

Fantastic work with the API. It's a great resource and will make maintenance of my code much easier! I've completed the transition to using the APIs for my wowpopular.com scans, and has made them much quicker and more accurate.

However, there are a few things I'm still missing, that I still need to retrieve from the HTML pages:

- Pet talents
- Searching capabilities. At minimum, I'd love to have a search similar to http://us.battle.net/wow/en/search?q=trail&f=wowcharacter so I can find all other characters with a specific name. Ideally, I'd love a list of all characters on a realm, but I understand if you don't want to expose that.

And the following for completeness:
- Enchant details (The enchant stats and name for an enchant id, and what item creates that enchant)
- Item Stat details (what the stat numbers for each item represent)
- Reforge details (what each reforge id references)

Straton, sorry to be a bother, but is there any chance you can tell me whether you still plan to include the pet talents for all pets in the API? Currently on the HTML view you can see talents for all pets in the javascript data, but the API only has talents for your active pet.

I'd really like to know if eventually we'll be able to load talents for any pet or if I need to rewrite my site to only support the currently active pet. Until I get word on this I've been holding off switching my pet support from the HTML load to the API.

Thank you for your help.


At this time we will limit pet talents to the current selected pet.
