need help making a grand exchange checker

[tigerboy0213]

i wanted to be able to watch several items on the grand exchange quickly. and its a pain to have to go to every single page and check prices (especially since it gives me loading issues every 2-3 times). my hope is to be able to check all this on one screen, in excel or a local html file or something. i have very basic html skills, and almost no scripting skills. though i can follow tutorials very well ^^ what i was hoping for in this checker is item name, prices(high,market,low), drop percents, and maybe the item picture and graph. any help with this is greatly appriciated :)

Two problems with this.

 

 

 

1) You should get some knowledge of scripting down, fast. PHP, Javascript, or Python are an absolute must for this kind of project.

 

 

 

2) The amount of data you get from pulling the information from a single RS GE page is rather...large...as you're not just pulling text, you're pulling image data, Javascript fixes, the whole works. I just did a quick test of it, and it turns out that I pulled about 18KB worth of information; do this for any large number of files, and you're starting to eat up a lot of bandwidth to get only one or two pieces of relevant information.

 

 

 

Sadly I don't have any real tutorials on hand, but there are some PHP, Javascript, and Python tutorials around on the Internet that you can follow. Good luck with it.

heres easy way!

 

 

 

Use an image tag in html, copy the graphs locations, and then you have all graphs on one page :)
