Request "https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items" returns too many item-ID's?

[GODh.3892]

I made myself a tool that allows me to search for items on my accounts. To save myself a lot of requests (and therefor time) i store some info of all items locally in a file. The tool keeps that info up-to-date.

The request "https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items" should give the id's of all items in the API. But for 2 days this requests give me a lot of ID's that do not seem to exist. When i try to get more detailed info on those ID's then i get an incomplete response from the API (i only check on name, but that is empty).

Here is a part of my log. It shows all ID's that don't have an item-name:

Ok, i think i was part of the problem. Two days ago i found a bug in my tool, fixed it and rebuilded the local files for items. That's probably why i only know about it since 2 days (i guess this "problem" is probably much older)...

So far it seems that these ID's are useless for my tool, because the name plays an important role (i cant do much with empty names).

But what kind of items are these? I tried one of the ID's: https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items?ids=87656&lang=en

That gives me some info, but nothing really useful 🤨
