GearScore is an addon for the game World of Warcraft that calculates a player's item score. It helps in estimating a character's readiness for certain dungeons and raid encounters. There is a limited (or close to none) resource on how one can check an item's gear score without opening up the game. This web API fills in that gap.
This project has two parts:
- A web UI that you can use to view GearScore
- A web API that is exposed that can be used in other applications (Discord bots, etc.)
When searching an item through wotlkdb.com, replace the db part with gs. Example:
There might be some variations from the in-game one (depending on which server you are playing, this was designed with Warmane in mind) but is good enough at least for approximation.
The web API can be accessed using a GET method at https://wotlkgs.com/gs/api/v1/54590. Just replace the last part (54590) with your item id.
A Swagger UI can also be accessed through here.
Other than the "Random item" that I am currently working on, I consider this project complete. If you have any suggestions to make it better, feel free to contact me.
