[https://esi.evetech.net/ui/#/Universe/post\_universe\_names](https://esi.evetech.net/ui/#/Universe/post_universe_names)

or

[https://esi.evetech.net/ui/#/Universe/get\_universe\_types\_type\_id](https://esi.evetech.net/ui/#/Universe/get_universe_types_type_id)

or

Use the SDE either parsing the YAML files [yourself](https://developers.eveonline.com/resource/resources) or using [steve’s conversions](https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/dump/latest/).

EDIT: I see now you mean `item_id` for that you would use: [https://esi.evetech.net/ui/#/Assets/post\_characters\_character\_id\_assets\_names](https://esi.evetech.net/ui/#/Assets/post_characters_character_id_assets_names) there is also a similar endpoint for corporation assets.
