Glossary
Every World of Tanks term the site defines: game mechanics, vehicle statistics, battle formats, rating systems and community slang. Each entry carries a one-sentence definition, the other spellings it is searched by, and the section it belongs to. Alphabetical by term. Pass category to read one section.

Response Body

curl -X GET "https://example.com/glossary"{ "results": [ { "slug": "string", "term": "string", "aliases": [ "string" ], "category": "vehicles", "short": "string" } ]}Search the glossary GET
Search every term the site defines (minimum 3 characters), by name, by any other spelling it is known by, and failing both by its definition, so a reader who only remembers what a thing does still finds it. Ranks exact names first, then prefixes, then the rest. Region-less: a definition reads the same on every server.
Glossary anchors GET
Where each glossary term attaches to the interface: the tank specification columns and the on-screen labels it defines, with the one-sentence definition to show for them. Small by construction (only anchored terms, listed once each), so a client can hold the whole thing and explain a table without another request.
