[edit]Notation and Conventions
The function names on this page also include usage information (where known), the convention for argument lists is derived from the World of Warcraft Usage format, with a slight change to make them Wiki link friendly. It's probably easiest to show the conventions by example:
SetMapZoom(continentIndex{,zoneIndex}) - Sets the current world map to a specific continent and optionally zone.
This function takes up to two arguments, the curly braces indicate that the second argument is optional (The standard format is to use square brackets, but these interfere with the Wiki link, so if including the function arguments in a link description we use curly braces).
TargetUnit("unit") - Selects the specified id as the current target.
The quotes around the unit argument on this function indicates that the parameter is a string. It does not mean that the argument is always (and in many cases, ever) the literal value "unit".
FrameLayout:GetHeight() - Returns the height of the frame layout object.
This example shows that the GetHeight() function is called as a method function on a FrameLayout object (and that it takes no arguments).
When adding new entries to this page, please follow this convention for consistency, since the actual page names are the word API followed by a space and the function name (with no argument information), links are written as follows:
: [[API SetMapZoom|SetMapZoom(continentIndex{,zoneIndex})]]
For object methods, the name includes the object type:
: [[API FrameLayout GetHeight|FrameLayout:GetHeight()]]
[edit]Data and Argument Types
The API uses special values for some function arguments, the commonly used types are:
AuctionSortId - An identifier for sorting columns in the auction house.
AuctionTypeId - An identifier specifying which type of auction to operate on.
ChatTypeId - An identifier for the different chat destination types.
LootRuleId - An identifier for the different looting rule types.
PlayerName - The name of a player.
UnitId - An identifier which specifies one of the units the API may reference.
[edit]Global Function Groups
This is an incomplete list. It may never be fully completed or, depending on its nature, it may be that it can never be complete. However, new and revised entries in the list are always welcome.
Here is a list of all potential global functions: Global Function List. If you add a new entry, please base it on the Empty Template.
The old World of Warcraft API doc is currently at http://www.cosmosui.org/texts/BlizzardCommands.xml (http://www.cosmosui.org/texts/BlizzardCommands.xml) (outdated).
