API Discussion

Hi,

The Pet API return a reference to the Creature API like this one

"creature": {
    "key": {
      "href": "https://eu.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/creature/2671?namespace=static-9.0.1_36072-eu"
    },
    "name": "Mechanical Squirrel",
    "id": 2671
  },

but not the Creature Display Media. The Mount API is doing the opposite and gives the creature display reference:

"creature_displays": [
    {
      "key": {
        "href": "https://eu.api.blizzard.com/data/wow/media/creature-display/2404?namespace=static-9.0.1_36072-eu"
      },
      "id": 2404
    }
  ],

It’s very useful to be able to get the display without having to query Creature first to get the Creature Display Media reference.

Is there a reason for the different behavior between these two endpoints ?

Hi Dainii,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Unfortunately, I do not know why this discrepancy may exist, so I cannot answer that portion of your question.

Can you confirm if these examples are provided from the Account Pets Collection Summary API, or the Character Pets Collection Summary API?

Thanks
