Auction data has been served since 6 November 2026.

Auction houses#

Each ruleset lists 15 auction houses: five each of "Alliance Auction House", "Horde Auction House" and the neutral "Blackwater Auction House", with IDs 110–121 and 123–125.

const houses = await client.wowForever.auctionHouses(2);
const houseId = houses.auctions[0].id;

const auctions = await client.wowForever.auctionHouse(2, houseId);
const commodities = await client.wowForever.auctionHouseCommodities(2, houseId);

The old /data/wow/auctions/commodities returns 404.

Auctions and commodities#

The entries have the Retail shape:

• Auctions: id, item (id, and on some items context, bonus_lists, modifiers), buyout, bid on some, quantity and time_left. A few are bid-only, without buyout.
• Commodities: id, item.id, quantity, unit_price and time_left.

There is no seller or owner, as on Retail.

Some houses are empty and have no auctions field (112, 115 and 118 so far). The busiest hold 50,000–70,000 auctions, about 9 MB per response.

Missing item data#

Many items on the auction house aren't in Forever's item data. In one house, 652 of 1,515 distinct item IDs (43%) returned 404 from wowForever.item(id). Most of them exist in Retail's item data (client.wow.item(id)), which works as a fallback for names, quality and class, though Retail's stats may differ from Forever's.
