Warframe APIwarframe.wiki ↗
Access Warframe item stats, crafting requirements, mod data, events, and patch notes from the Warframe Wiki via 4 structured API endpoints.
What is the Warframe API?
The Warframe Wiki API exposes 4 endpoints covering item search, detailed stats, active events, and update notes drawn from warframe.wiki. The get_item_details endpoint returns infobox fields like health, armor, and abilities alongside full blueprint crafting data — credits cost, build time, required parts, and quantities. Use search_items to resolve item names to page IDs before fetching detail pages.
curl -X GET 'https://api.parse.bot/scraper/2e48ef53-83c8-4fe3-8af5-90693ca160db/search_items?query=Excalibur' \ -H 'X-API-Key: $PARSE_API_KEY'
Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

Full-text search across all Warframe Wiki pages (Warframes, Weapons, Mods, etc.) by name or keyword. Returns up to 10 matching results. Each result carries a title usable as the `name` parameter to get_item_details.

}About the Warframe API
Item Search and Detail
The search_items endpoint accepts a query string and returns up to 10 matching results, each with a title and pageid. These identifiers feed directly into get_item_details, which accepts an exact wiki page name — such as 'Excalibur', 'Braton', or 'Rhino Prime' — and returns two top-level objects: stats and crafting. The stats object contains infobox key-value pairs including abilities, health, armor, and other frame- or weapon-specific attributes. The crafting object, when present, holds blueprint data: credits cost, build time, component parts, and their individual quantities.
Events and Update Notes
get_events requires no inputs and returns two fields: current_indicators, an array of strings describing active events detected on the wiki's main page, and recent_event_pages, an array of page objects (title + pageid) linking to full event and operation articles. get_update_notes retrieves pages from the wiki's Updates category sorted most-recent first; an optional limit integer caps how many entries are returned. Each entry in the data array carries a title and pageid, letting you identify which update is newest and fetch further detail by page name if needed.
Coverage Scope
The API covers the community-maintained warframe.wiki, which documents Warframes, weapons, mods, resources, enemies, and game history. Because the underlying source is a wiki, data freshness depends on community edits; major game updates may take hours to days to appear in full detail. Infobox field availability varies by item type — a Warframe page exposes ability data that a resource or mod page will not.
The Warframe API is a managed, monitored endpoint for warframe.wiki — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when warframe.wiki changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official warframe.wiki API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
Is this an official API from the source site?+
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Look up armor and health values for a specific Warframe before investing forma
- Retrieve blueprint crafting costs and component lists to plan resource farming
- Pull recent update page titles to track patch history in a game companion app
- Detect active event indicators to surface in-game event alerts to players
- Resolve partial item names to page IDs using search, then batch-fetch detail stats
- Build a loadout comparison tool using per-item infobox stats from get_item_details
- Display the latest patch notes in a Discord bot using get_update_notes with a small limit
| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 100 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 100 req/min |
One credit = one API call regardless of which marketplace API you call. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does Warframe have an official developer API?+
What does get_item_details return for items that don't have a crafting blueprint?+
crafting object is returned when blueprint data is present on the wiki page. For items without blueprints — such as base resources, purely dropped items, or certain quest rewards — the crafting field will be absent or empty. The stats object with infobox key-value pairs is still returned regardless.How current is the event data returned by get_events?+
current_indicators field reflects what is visible on the wiki's main page at request time. The wiki is community-edited, so there can be a lag between an event going live in-game and it being reflected on the wiki. For time-sensitive event detection, treat this data as approximate rather than authoritative.Does the API return individual mod stats like drain, rarity, or effect values?+
Can I retrieve a full list of all items without searching first?+
search_items endpoint returns up to 10 results per query, and there is no bulk catalog or paginated list endpoint. If you need broader coverage, you can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a category-walk or all-items listing endpoint.
