CLI Commands (Use These First)

MANDATORY: Always use CLI commands before manual exploration.

TaskCommand
Search APIs (Offline)mech call api.search -i '{"query": "*Spell*"}'
API Infomech call api.info -i '{"api_name": "C_Spell.GetSpellInfo"}'
List by Namespacemech call api.list -i '{"namespace": "C_Spell"}'
Search Iconsmech call atlas.search -i '{"query": "sword"}'
API Statsmech call api.stats

Capabilities

  1. API Discovery — Search 5000+ WoW APIs offline using static definitions
  2. Blizzard UI Research — Find patterns in Blizzard's own Lua source code
  3. Ace3 Patterns — Guidance on using common addon libraries (AceDB, AceEvent, etc.)
  4. Icon/Atlas Search — Find UI assets and textures by name

Quick Reference

Search WoW APIs

bash
mech call api.search -i '{"query": "GetItem*", "namespace": "C_Item"}'

Get Detailed API Info

bash
mech call api.info -i '{"api_name": "C_Spell.GetSpellInfo"}'

Search Icons

bash
mech call atlas.search -i '{"query": "sword", "limit": 10}'

Best Practices

  • Search First: Use api.search before guessing API names.
  • Audit Blizzard: Use ripgrep on local wow-ui-source to see how Blizzard uses an API.
  • Namespace Awareness: Most modern APIs are in C_ namespaces (e.g., C_Timer, C_Spell).
