Price But No Item Details?

[Illconceived Was Na.9781]

Is there a reason why some items can show up in the `/commerce` API but not `/items`?

(Does it happen the other way around sometimes?)

 

For example, [Chag (Led Into Darkness)](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chag,_Led_into_Darkness_of_Severance)

* Has a price: https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/commerce/prices/82975

* But returns "no such ID" to query its details: https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items/82975

 

This is also true for

* [82989](https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/commerce/prices/82989) [Aloeth, Revel in Ruin of Severance](https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items/92989)

* [84540](https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/commerce/prices/84540) [sama, Profane the Wondrous of Severance](https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items/84540)

* [84732](https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/commerce/prices/84732) [Thag, Cycle of Tears of Severance](https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items/84732)

 

This discrepancy has been around for 2.5 months or so (i.e. since right after PoF launched). I'm sure folks with robust error-checking scripts can find (or have found) other examples. So I assume that stuff like this has been reported to ANet. So I'm more curious about how this happens.

 

This seems to cause a glitch with the TP tracking sites: notably [GW2TP](https://www.gw2tp.com/search?name=chag), [GW2 Spidy](http://www.gw2spidy.com/search/chag), & even [GW2 BLTC](https://www.gw2bltc.com/en/tp/search?name=chag) don't see the item at all (even by ID alone).

 

Thanks.

Safe to say it does happen the other way around. Acessing the /commerce/prices endpoint returns only 24687 results (at the moment), whereas /items lists 60200.

 

It seems reasonable that items which are account bound on acquire wouldn't show up in the /commerce API (though i haven't tested this apart from on a single item (Mystic Clover)).

 

As far as the larger issue goes, no idea. I will note that not every [Named Mordant Weapon](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Named_Mordant_weapons) doesn't show up in /items. (Since all four examples we have so far that don't show up appear there, i thought it was worth pointing out).

Also found this post with a number of other items that seem to have been omitted:

For example, the Sunspear Wallshield, item number 82171

Thanks for the updates, @"alleryn.1906".

Hopefully whoever takes over from @"Lawton Campbell.8517" can setup something automated so that, going forward, if something shows up in /commerce, it also will appear in /items.

Not sure if this info is useful to anyone, but as i'm building my own local database, i came across the ids for output items in /recipes that are not currently in /items (all the ingredients in /recipes are accounted for). A number of them seem to have been added in since @"DarkMagister.7429" 's post which i quoted above. Anyhow, in case it's useful here's the current list.

 

Items used in /recipes unresolved in /items:
