Differences from the Official Version
To save server resources, the XIVAPI service provided by FFCafe uses different update and storage methods. As a result, some capabilities differ from the official XIVAPI service. The main differences are as follows:
Supported Query Languages
Section titled “Supported Query Languages”This service supports querying data in the following languages:
| Language | Code | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Simplified Chinese | chs | Default/primary language |
| Traditional Chinese | tc | |
| Japanese | ja | |
| English | en | |
| German | de | |
| French | fr | |
| Korean | ko |
Data is merged from the latest processed version of each client. Availability of individual rows and translations can differ between clients.
Supported Sheets
Section titled “Supported Sheets”This service does not support querying sheet data in subfolders (sheets with / characters in their names, mainly dialogue text).
Version Control
Section titled “Version Control”Sheet requests use the latest version of data; the version parameter is ignored for those requests. Asset endpoints use separate published snapshots, as described in Retrieving Assets.
Assets
Section titled “Assets”This service currently supports only icons (ui/icon/) and maps (ui/map/) present in its published asset index, not arbitrary game files. See Retrieving Assets for supported formats, caching and map composition.
Retrieving images by icon ID is also supported, with paths such as /i/051000/051474.png and /i/051000/051474_hr1.png. The .png suffix does not guarantee PNG bytes; use the response’s Content-Type. See Icon Paths.
