Getting itemID by name

[Butters]

I was wondering is there a way to failproof code by not hardcoding item(or any other) ID's? 

 

For example I know that I can get the ID if I have have the item in inventory or somewhere else

		Item item = inventory.getItem(new Filter<Item>() {
			@[member=Override]
			public boolean match(Item item) {
				return item.getName() == "SOME ITEM NAME";
			}
		});
		
		log(item.getId());

But what if I don't have the item in my inventory/region/etc?

Why do you want to know it? Well in most cases there are multiple items that have the same name. The easiest example to mention is noted and unnoted items.

 

You can use the ItemDefinition class, but I believe you have to load the items first.

Thanks, but any idea how to load them? I need the ID for grand exchange (and probably would find more places where to apply them), as I don't have the items on me when I want to buy them. I'm using the OSBot GE API for the buying part, but it requires item ID's.

You have several options.

 

1. If you know what items you want to buy, just hardcode the item ids
2. Write your own buy method that uses item names instead of ids
3. Use an existing buy method that uses item names instead of ids, there are already snippets around on the forum, for example: http://osbot.org/forum/topic/90148-simple-ge-api

Additionally you also do an API suggestion here:

Could be useful for everybody else if an method is added that supports item names.

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't know about this one. But immediately I see a couple of concerns:

 

1) How do I know if the site will be available for a long time?

2) This is strange

 

The current raw lobbie D is 377. The site gives me two ID's with the same revision number.

2nd one is noted ID. 1st one is regular ID

One is probably the noted ID and the other is without, just a guess though

Also another solution if you just want to get the IDs of Grand Exchange items, and can't hardcode the IDs into your script you can do something like this:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import java.util.Optional;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example example = new Example();
        example.getItemsJson().ifPresent(json -> {
            example.getItemID(json, "Cannonball").ifPresent(System.out::println);
            example.getItemID(json, "Raw trout").ifPresent(System.out::println);
            example.getItemID(json, "Rune scimitar").ifPresent(System.out::println);
            example.getItemID(json, "Lobster").ifPresent(System.out::println);
        });
    }

    private Optional<Integer> getItemID(final String json, final String itemName) {
        return getItemFromJson(json, itemName).flatMap(this::getItemIDFromItemJson);
    }

    private Optional<String> getItemFromJson(final String json, final String itemName) {
        Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile("(\\{[^}]*\"name\"\\s*:\\s*\"" + Pattern.quote(itemName) + "\"[^}]*})").matcher(json);
        return matcher.find() ? Optional.of(matcher.group(1)) : Optional.empty();
    }

    private Optional<Integer> getItemIDFromItemJson(final String json) {
        Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile("\"id\"\\s*:\\s*(\\d*)").matcher(json);
        return matcher.find() ? Optional.of(Integer.parseInt(matcher.group(1))) : Optional.empty();
    }

    private Optional<String> getItemsJson() {
        try {
            URL url = new URL("https://rsbuddy.com/exchange/summary.json");
            URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
            con.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36");
            con.setUseCaches(true);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
            String json = br.readLine();
            br.close();
            return Optional.of(json);
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return Optional.empty();
    }
}

Output:

335
1333
379

great example,

but if you input item name with Apostrophe character, e.g Greenman's ale,

it doesn't print anything.
