Quick examples

What the response contains

The D&D 5e SRD API provides the 2014 SRD equipment subset. Use it to look up rules data; it does not confirm a shop item, real-world price, availability, or every rule used at a table.

Practical use

The values describe 2014 SRD rules. They are not shop prices, measurements of physical replicas, or a guarantee that a table uses the same edition, supplement, or house rule.

How to use it

Try longsword, backpack, and shield and use the returned fields to identify the right record.

Fields worth checking

index + name
equipment_category
cost.quantity + cost.unit
weight

Who this helps

For comparing 2014 SRD equipment by the fields that actually vary between weapons, backpacks, and other items.

Where this lookup saves time

index + name
equipment_category
cost.quantity + cost.unit
weight
damage / properties quando houver

Start with the identifier, not the name alone

A lookup such as longsword returns index, name, equipment_category, and url. index is the stable identifier used by the route; name is the displayed label. The category separates, for example, a weapon from adventuring gear. Make that distinction before comparing numbers, because available fields change with the category.

Use the index value in the lookup; English terms such as longsword, backpack, and shield match the route examples.
Open equipment_category.url when you need to move from an item to its equipment group.

Cost and weight belong to the item’s rules data

cost combines quantity and unit: for longsword, 15 and gp form that item’s reference cost. weight is the weight used by the rules, not the measurement of a physical replica. A backpack can have cost and weight without damage, so the absence of damage does not make the response incomplete.

Read quantity together with unit; the number alone does not identify the game currency.
Do not use cost as a market quote or weight to estimate shipping, material, or product size.

Damage and properties appear only when they apply

Weapons can add weapon_category, damage, properties, range, and two_handed_damage. For longsword, damage gives 1d8 and the slashing type; properties includes versatile, and two_handed_damage gives 1d10. Other equipment can return empty contents, special, or desc. Treat missing fields or empty lists as characteristics of that item, not a promise that a rule does not exist elsewhere.

Read damage.damage_dice together with damage.damage_type.name to compare the die and damage type.
For a table decision, check the rules source adopted by the group when a version, supplement, or house rule is involved.
