July 7, 201511 yr Not entirely sure if this is the right forum, but do any of you have experience extracting price information from the Grand Exchange using a programming language? And more specifcally, the Grand Exchange API allows you to extract price information, but in a very inaccurate way. To illustrate, say I want to follow a price fluctuation of a 210b item and it ranges between say 210,000,000,000 and 210,000,800,000 I will never detect this fluctuation because the Grand Exchange API will always return "210,0b". Is there any to retrieve the full price?

July 7, 201511 yr So I asked Cook from Wiki and he said they use the graphing data API to get exact prices, that is: ../../m=itemdb_rs/api/graph/$ItemID.json from that page. Have you tried that/does that help? "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

July 7, 201511 yr Author That I already can, but that's where the problem persists (see my link, it leads to the syntax you describe). So if I were to monitor the price of a drygore or something, I'd be always stuck with a resolution on the order of millions instead of say thousands. If the profit margin is in the thousands instead of millions, the price API would be useless to me. That aside, Jagex has some bizarre rules for formatting the price.

July 7, 201511 yr I think Arceus's point, which you seem to of overlooked as you made no specific reference to it, is that the GRAPH function of the api specifically allows for extraction of exact values as it plots them as exact values.
