# Get character ability map

GET https://api.wynncraft.com/v3/player/{username}/characters/{uuid}/abilities

This endpoint is cached for 10 minutes in the USER cache source.   See [Caching](/welcome#caching).  This endpoint belongs to the PLAYER rate-limit bucket. See [Throttling and Rate Limits](/welcome#throttling-and-rate-limits).

Ability Tree is subject to [Access Rules](/privacy), which can make it unavailable.

It is recommended to request players by UUID. Username lookups can return `300 MultipleObjectsReturned` with a multi-selector response when more than one player matches the query.

This endpoint only lists abilities the player has enabled and performs pathfinding on the fly.

To render a full in-game style ability tree, combine this response with:

* [GET /ability/tree/\{tree}](https://docs.wynncraft.com/modules/ability-aspect/get-ability-tree)
* [GET /ability/map/\{tree}](https://docs.wynncraft.com/modules/ability-aspect/get-ability-map)
