Open Tradeskill Price Database

WIP: this is an incomplete setup.

An open source price database for World of Warcraft auction house data, written in Bun JS.

Installation

You will need to have bun installed, which you can find instructions of here: https://bun.sh/

git clone https://github.com/opentradeskill/price-db.git
bun install
mv .env.example .env

Downloading (and maintaining) your price database

You will need to:

• Create a Battle.net developer account (https://develop.battle.net/access/)
• Download the OpenTradeSkill_Pricing addon
• Run the CLI download script

Create a Battle.net developer account

• Create a developer account (https://develop.battle.net/)
• Create a new client (https://develop.battle.net/access/clients/create)

Enter the following:

• Client Name: My OpenTradeSkill Key
• Check "I do not have a service URL for this client."
• Intended Use: Grab auction house data from World of Warcraft

• Click Save

Save your client ID and client secret

• Copy your Client ID and Client Secret
• Put them in your .env file (if you do not have one, move / copy .env.example to .env)

Download the OpenTradeSkill_Pricing addon

https://github.com/opentradeskill/addon-pricing

Make a note of where your addon directory is, some example places may be:

• Windows: C:/Program Files (x86)/World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/Addons/OpenTradeSkill_Pricing/
• Mac: /Applications/World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/Addons/OpenTradeSkill_Pricing/
• Linux (via Lutris): /home/<USERNAME>/Games/battlenet/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/OpenTradeSkill_Pricing/

Run the CLI download script

bun run cli/download --region [eu/us/kr/tw/cn] --realm "Realm Name" --outfile "/path/to/Addons/OpenTradeSkill_Pricing/PriceData.lua"

(If you're already in game in World of Warcraft, you will need to /rl to update your pricing)

The World of Warcraft auction data API updates every hour or so. Running more often than that would not be recommended.
