thedogmaster Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I think it'd be really cool if tip.it would offer RSS feeds for GE Center Price changes on any item so that we could get updates via email or such (via websites like ifttt.com or Google Reader). That way we don't have to check the website everyday to see what that item's price is for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MageUK Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Certainly something I'm willing to look into. Right now I'd really like to improve the way we detect GE updates so I'd probably change that first. It does take us about 2 hours to actually grab all of the data too because of some recent changes Jagex made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impalasforpeace Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 hmm i just read about rss feeds for like half an hour.. i wasn't aware that tip.it produced something that detected ge updates.. you guys did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MageUK Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Yeah we do detect GE Updates, but we don't provide this data in an RSS feed or anything, just on our GE Centre. After a couple of minutes more thought, I think I will most likely recode all of our GE-related stuff, including the update checker and the graphs, but I probably won't start for around 3 weeks as I'll be away from home for a while, so don't expect anything too soon. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. V. Devnull Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Take your time, Peter, even if it means taking 6 months or more. I definitely would not want to see a ton of client-side lagging because something ended up being a mess. :shades: ~D. V. "Wouldn't mind this one being on the slow track..."

Tecmaster Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Part of the problem as MageUK said is that Jagex makes it *really* hard to actually grab the updated list of G.E. prices. An update by Jagex made a scrape that previously took 90 seconds to complete now takes 2 hours+. We're looking for better ways to do things to make it go faster, but to be honest it's really hard with what Jagex has done with their systems. That limitation ties up a lot of what we normally would be able to do. Owner of the Quest Point Cape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
