API Key

Sign in to bungie.net and visit the API registration portal. If you haven't already verified the email address associated with your bungie.net account, now is the time to do so. Make sure to check your spam or junk mail folder if the email verification link doesn't appear.

Query the Platform

To fetch data from the platform, it's as simple as sending a HTTP request to it along with your API key and making use of the response, which is JSON-encoded.

PHP

<?php
 $apiKey = 'YOUR-API-KEY-HERE';

 $ch = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.bungie.net/platform/Destiny/Manifest/InventoryItem/1274330687/');
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('X-API-Key: ' . $apiKey));

 $json = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));
 echo $json->Response->data->inventoryItem->itemName; //Gjallarhorn

Javascript

var apiKey = "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE";

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", "https://www.bungie.net/platform/Destiny/Manifest/InventoryItem/1274330687/", true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("X-API-Key", apiKey);

xhr.onreadystatechange = function(){
 if(this.readyState === 4 && this.status === 200){
  var json = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
  console.log(json.Response.data.inventoryItem.itemName); //Gjallarhorn
 }
}

xhr.send();

JavaScript (with jQuery)

var apiKey = "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE";

$.ajax({
 url: "https://www.bungie.net/platform/Destiny/Manifest/InventoryItem/1274330687/",
 headers: {
  "X-API-Key": apiKey
 }
}).done(function(json){
 console.log(json.Response.data.inventoryItem.itemName); //Gjallarhorn
});

C# (Blocking)

// Uses JSON.NET - http://www.nuget.org/packages/Newtonsoft.Json
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-API-Key", "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE");

  var response = client.GetAsync("https://www.bungie.net/platform/Destiny/Manifest/InventoryItem/1274330687/").Result;
  var content = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
  dynamic item = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(content);

  Console.WriteLine(item.Response.data.inventoryItem.itemName); //Gjallarhorn
}

C# (Non-Blocking)

// Uses JSON.NET - http://www.nuget.org/packages/Newtonsoft.Json
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-API-Key", "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE");

  var response = await client.GetAsync("https://www.bungie.net/platform/Destiny/Manifest/InventoryItem/1274330687/");
  var content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
  dynamic item = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(content);

  Console.WriteLine(item.Response.data.inventoryItem.itemName); //Gjallarhorn
}

Java

String apiKey = "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE";

 // Endpoint for Gjallarhorn
 String url = "https://www.bungie.net/platform/Destiny/Manifest/InventoryItem/1274330687/";

 URL obj = new URL(url);
 HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();

 con.setRequestMethod("GET");

 // Set header
 con.setRequestProperty("X-API-KEY", apiKey);

 int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();
 System.out.println("\nSending 'GET' request to Bungie.Net : " + url);
 System.out.println("Response Code : " + responseCode);

 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
 String inputLine;
 String response = "";

 while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
     response += inputLine;
 }

 in.close();

 // Uses Gson - https://github.com/google/gson
 JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
 JsonObject json = (JsonObject) parser.parse(response);

 System.out.println();
 System.out.println(json.getAsJsonObject("Response").getAsJsonObject("data").getAsJsonObject("inventoryItem").get("itemName"));
 //Gjallarhorn

Python

import requests

#dictionary to hold extra headers
HEADERS = {"X-API-Key":'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'}

#make request for Gjallarhorn
r = requests.get("https://www.bungie.net/platform/Destiny/Manifest/InventoryItem/1274330687/", headers=HEADERS);

#convert the json object we received into a Python dictionary object
#and print the name of the item
inventoryItem = r.json()
print(inventoryItem['Response']['data']['inventoryItem']['itemName'])

#Gjallarhorn
