Final Fantasy XIV API

Beginner's Pick Games & Comics / No Auth Required Beginner HTTPS CORS
Free to Use Varies (check documentation)

Overview

The XIVAPI provides comprehensive game data from Final Fantasy XIV, including characters, items, quests, duties, and lore. No API key is required for most requests, and CORS is supported, making it friendly for browser-based projects. It is ideal for building character profile viewers, item databases, or FFXIV companion tools.

Beginner Tip

Begin with the /search endpoint to look up any in-game content by name — it is the most versatile starting point. For character lookups, use the Lodestone character ID found in the character profile URL on the official FFXIV site.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

429 Too Many Requests You have exceeded the API rate limit.
Reduce request frequency, implement caching for repeated lookups, and add delays between bulk requests.
404 Not Found The sheet name, row ID, or character ID does not exist.
Verify the sheet name against XIVAPI documentation and double-check the Lodestone character ID.
Empty results array The search query returned no matches.
Try a broader search term or check the sheets parameter — specifying the wrong sheet will return no results.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
