description: Look up WoW Party, Raid, Dungeon Finder, Premade Groups (LFG List),
  Social Queue, Lobby Matchmaker, and Raid Marker APIs. Covers C_PartyInfo
  (party management, invites, conversion, ready check, countdown), C_LFGInfo
  (dungeon finder queue, role selection), C_LFGList (premade groups listing,
  search, application, creation), C_SocialQueue (friend queue tracking),
  C_LobbyMatchmakerInfo, raid markers, and group-related events. Use when
  working with party/raid management, group finder, premade group listing,
  dungeon queue, role selection, ready checks, or raid markers. Select Retail,
  Forever, or Classic with wow-client-targets before using historical listings.

# api group lfg

Use for any selected combination of Retail, Forever, and Classic progression. First resolve the target and pinned source with [wow-client-targets](../wow-client-targets/SKILL.md).

## Target-specific decisions

Verify party/raid, queue, role, premade-group and difficulty APIs independently. Check protected actions, leader permissions, identifiers, and event payloads.

Read the relevant row in [compatibility guidance](../wow-client-targets/references/COMPATIBILITY.md). Verify only the APIs needed for this task, using commit-pinned definitions and loaded client code. Missing evidence means unknown, not supported or removed. When offline, disclose the snapshot version/date and unresolved behavior.

## Detailed lookup material

Use the [pinned source schemas](references/generated/README.md) for complete generated contracts in this domain, including typed arguments, returns, event payloads and restrictions. Query only the needed symbols. Source declarations leave loading, runtime behavior and addon permission unresolved unless separately verified.

The [historical Retail baseline](references/RETAIL-BASELINE.md) retains the original API listings and examples. It is a research aid, not current or cross-client verification. Open only relevant supporting references:

- Start with the pinned source schemas; use the baseline for historical context and verify handwritten helpers separately.

For implementation and release validation, use [wow-addon-development](../wow-addon-development/SKILL.md).
