How do I get the item link for an item if I know its name and quality?

[Sonar]

Hi, I have the name and quality of an item and I need to obtain the link for that item. Is there an API call for that? Thank you.

No, your UI need to "see" it. Bag, Drop, Quest, In Chat, Bank, or anything else.

There's a lot of parameters needed after itemID to build the real item.
But what's your real need?

Well I'm trying to use ExecuteTradingHouseSearch to get a list of items in guild stores, but it returns only names and I need their itemIds/links.

You should be using GetTradingHouseSearchResultItemLink instead of GetTradingHouseSearchResultItemInfo.

local function OnSearchResultsReceived(eventId, guildId, numItemsOnPage, currentPage, hasMorePages)
    for i = 1, numItemsOnPage do
        local itemLink = GetTradingHouseSearchResultItemLink(i)
        local itemId = select(4, ZO_LinkHandler_ParseLink(itemLink)) --return value is a string
        d(itemId)
    end
end
 
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("MyUniqueName", EVENT_TRADING_HOUSE_SEARCH_RESULTS_RECEIVED, OnSearchResultsReceived)

Thanks a million! But the GetTradingHouseSearchResultItemLink function isnt documented anywhere. How do you know about it?
