Data API

WvW team ids and map ids are the kind of mapping every WvW tool ends up hardcoding — and then re-hardcoding in the next project, and updating by hand when the ids drift. This site serves them as small static JSON endpoints so you can fetch one canonical copy instead.

They’re plain static files (no server, no rate limit, cached at the edge) with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, so you can fetch them from anywhere — a browser tool, an addon updater, a build step.

wvw/teams.json

Team id → colour, both grouped and as a flat reverse index. The mapping is community-maintained and unofficial — the payload carries a disclaimer field saying so, and ids do change (e.g. around World Restructuring). When a log contains a CBTS_WVWTEAMS (74) event, prefer it; treat unknown ids as “unknown team”, not an error. Background: WvW team colors in logs.

}
const teams = await (await fetch("https://arcdps.axi.link/api/wvw/teams.json")).json();
const colour = teams.byTeamId[String(teamId)] ?? "unknown";

wvw/maps.json

WvW map id → name and role. These are game map ids sourced from the official GW2 API (v2/maps). Background: WvW maps in logs.

  "source": "official GW2 API (v2/maps)",
  "verified": "2026-08-09",
  "maps": {
    "38":   { "name": "Eternal Battlegrounds", "role": "center" },
    "95":   { "name": "Alpine Borderlands",    "role": "green-home" },
    "1099": { "name": "Desert Borderlands",    "role": "red-home" }
  }
}
const { maps } = await (await fetch("https://arcdps.axi.link/api/wvw/maps.json")).json();
const map = maps[String(mapId)];   // { name, role } or undefined

Notes for consumers

  • Cache: responses send Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600. Don’t poll tighter than that; the data changes on the order of GW2 balance patches and matchup restructures, not minutes.
  • Stability: every payload includes a meta.generated date and a per-dataset verified date. New ids are added over time; existing keys are not renamed. Read defensively (?? "unknown"), because the team table in particular is not exhaustive.
  • Source of truth: these files are generated at build time from data/wvw.json in the wiki repo. Spot a wrong or missing id? Open a PR or issue against that one file and the endpoints update on the next deploy.
