GuildBankScanner

A World of Warcraft: Midnight addon that scans your guild bank and exports the full inventory as a CSV. Designed to work alongside the Guild Bank Scanner web app for crafting analysis — paste the CSV in, select the recipes you care about, and see exactly how many you can craft from what's in the bank.

Usage

Slash command

You must be standing at the guild bank for a fresh scan:

Command	Description
`/gbscan`	Scan the guild bank and open the export window
`/gbscan export`	Re-open the export window from the last saved scan
`/gbscan help`	Print command reference to chat

/guildbankscanner works as an alias for all commands above.

Exporting the Inventory

After a scan completes, an export window opens automatically. It contains the full CSV pre-selected. To copy it:

Click Select All (or press Ctrl-A inside the text box).
Press Ctrl-C to copy.
Paste into the web app on the Import screen.

The last scan is saved to disk (SavedVariables) so you can re-open the export window at any time with /gbscan export — even after closing the guild bank or logging out.

CSV Format

# GuildBankScanner Export
# Guild: <Your Guild Name>
# Scanned: 2026-03-14 20:45
itemID,name,totalCount,tabs
12345,Nocturnal Lotus,240,Reagents|Crafting
67890,Tranquility Bloom,180,Crafting

Column	Description
`itemID`	Numeric WoW item ID
`name`	Item name (commas escaped as semicolons)
`totalCount`	Total quantity across all scanned tabs
`tabs`	Pipe-separated list of tab names where the item was found

Known Limitations

You must be physically at the guild bank. The WoW API only returns item data while the bank window is open — the addon cannot scan remotely.
Only accessible tabs are scanned. Tabs your character doesn't have view permission for are automatically skipped.
Button incompatibility. The Scan Bank button attaches to the default Blizzard guild bank frame. If you use an addon that replaces that frame (e.g. Bagnon), the button won't appear — use /gbscan instead.
Item names may be cached. If an item name shows as an item link (|Hitem:...|h) in the CSV, it means the item wasn't in the client's cache at scan time. Open the item's tooltip in-game to cache it, then rescan.
