Common Patterns

List All Factions with Standing

local numFactions = C_Reputation.GetNumFactions()
for i = 1, numFactions do
    local data = C_Reputation.GetFactionDataByIndex(i)
    if data and not data.isHeader then
        local standingNames = {"Hated","Hostile","Unfriendly","Neutral","Friendly","Honored","Revered","Exalted"}
        local standing = standingNames[data.reaction] or "Unknown"
        print(data.name, standing, data.currentStanding)
    end
end

Check Renown Level

local function GetRenownProgress(factionID)
    if C_Reputation.IsMajorFaction(factionID) then
        local data = C_MajorFactions.GetMajorFactionData(factionID)
        if data then
            print(data.name, "Renown:", data.renownLevel)
            print("Progress:", data.renownReputationEarned, "/", data.renownLevelThreshold)
            return data.renownLevel
        end
    end
    return nil
end

Check Paragon Reward

local function CheckParagonReward(factionID)
    if C_Reputation.IsFactionParagon(factionID) then
        local currentValue, threshold, questID, hasReward = 
            C_Reputation.GetFactionParagonInfo(factionID)
        if hasReward then
            print("Paragon reward available for faction", factionID)
        end
        return hasReward
    end
    return false
end

Gotchas & Restrictions

Headers in faction list — C_Reputation.GetFactionDataByIndex() returns headers. Check isHeader to skip.
Major factions vs traditional — Check C_Reputation.IsMajorFaction() to determine which API to use.
Paragon is post-exalted — GetFactionParagonInfo() only works for factions at Exalted (or max renown for major factions).
Friendship rep display — Friendship factions show custom standing names. Use GetFriendshipReputation() for proper display text.
Account-wide rep — Some 12.0.0 reps are account-wide. Check IsAccountWideReputation().
Collapsed headers — Collapsed headers hide child factions from the indexed list. Expand before iterating.
Faction IDs are stable — Unlike indices, factionIDs are stable and can be persisted in SavedVariables.
Neighborhood initiative — New 12.0.0 system; APIs may evolve.
