Are there any plans for allowing us to download a single large file containing info for most (if not all) items that can be fetched singly via the usual API?
The AH dump on my realm generally contains 20k-30k entries, which are made up of ~3k unique items. Obviously, hitting the single item query API 3000 times is not going to be a valid option for non-registered API users like me, and even if 3000 retrievals were done by a registered application, I can't imagine you'd want anyone hitting your server(s) 3000 times in less than a couple minutes to retrieve and cache item data (even if it were only a one-time sc%#!@).

The item API is currently open for everyone to use, although it is likely that it will be tweaked and updated pretty soon to reflect missing data. http://us.battle.net/api/wow/data/item/55435 |

Woops! http://us.battle.net/api/wow/item/55435 |

I wonder what the overlap of items on active level 85 characters looks like. That is to say, how large and unique is all potential level 85 pvp/raid gear? |
