Arena Ladder or Auction House Program?

[Hashbrowns]

Hi All-

I don't normally post until things are further along but could use some input on this one. I'm currently looking at two different programs to work on. Please vote on which you would rather have; do you want me to fix the Arena Ladder or work on an AH Scanner? AFAIK https://theunderminejournal.com/#us can't distinguish between green/blue/epic drops nor does it let you search all servers. I haven't used it a ton though. I would work toward something that would scan all servers in your region, filtering a drop by quality (purple/blue/green), and show current buy out so we can better snipe some deals.

Thanks!

I already had a scanner working for a couple of weeks when the epics were introduced. You can get an idea of the item quality by item lvl and lvl req. The problem is that without an advanced proxy, you are stuck to sending delayed requests to the UJ (they have okish ddos prevention), which takes ages if you are scanning for 5+ items. Also, you would be surprised how little to none epics pop on the ah other than the top 5-10 relams by 19/20 population.

Nice! Thanks for the info, I think we can do what 100 calls per second with a cap of 36,000 per hour? That should be enough to cover all the servers. It returns a JSON with all items, I can look for a specific item id and then filter based on desired req level (value, at the end) There's also some info in there about the upgrade, this 2nd bonusList ID seems to denote quality:

green, but 19
{"auc":2032541806,"item":1405,"owner":"Zexxer","ownerRealm":"Bleeding Hollow","bid":652349,"buyout":750000,"quantity":1,"timeLeft":"LONG","rand":0,"seed":0,"context":0,"bonusLists":[{"bonusListId":3637}],"modifiers":[{"type":9,"value":19}]},

Based on votes though I think I'll work on the arena ladder first.
