Have you actually tried that function in-game? I don't know how long ago that documentation was updated, but many functions that previously returned only a spell name have been updated in the last few years to also return a spell ID, so it's possible that function was one of them.

If it really doesn't, then you're probably stuck hardcoding the data in your addon for the items you're interested in.

Have you tried passing the name into this? (I don't remember if it works for items...)

That won't work; GetSpellInfo only works with names for spells that are in your spellbook and known. It doesn't work for "future" spells or "other specs" spells that are shown in the spellbook, since you don't currently know those, and it doesn't work for things like your vehicle's spells, even though you can "/cast" them by name from macros.

Well, both Wowpedia and Wowprogramming are maintained by volunteers, so it's not uncommon to find outdated info in either place... and unfortunately Wowprogramming doesn't (as far as I can see as an unregistered user) show the date a particular page was last edited.

No other such function exists as far as I know. If you need to know the IDs of spells cast by using items, you have some quality time with Wowhead in your future.

I'll have to do some testing as I haven't personally run the addon myself in a while, but this was one of the ideas behind SpellList. I really need to do a complete rewrite to get it back into release-ready status, but it should still work even though it's missing a large chunk of new spells (2 years worth of updates) and the code is making me sick looking at it.
