Is this script possible to create?

[boozer]

Is there a way to create a script that buys/sells in ge? yes.

however, my  actual question is, if i use a live database to flip/merch in ge, is there a way to utilize the site i use for a bot to refresh the database go by margins and create buy/sell orders on ge?

 

if that didn't make much sense then to break it down, can a bot use database sites such as ge-tracker to update items to purchase/sell and create a bot for flipping new items throughout the day due to items changing value everyday

What you've described is certainly possible, but wouldn't be allowed on the SDN (https://osbot.org/forum/announcement/62-script-rules-read-before-applying/)

That being said, there's nothing stopping you making it yourself / purchasing it as a private script. If you do go for a private script, expect it to cost a lot!

OSBuddy provide a nice and pretty accurate item value db which many of us scripters use for profit tracking and the likes. This reddit thread might help: https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/543n8b/rsbuddy_exachange_api_documentation/

Yep. JSON, if it has it

It's certainly possible... I can't seem to find an API that ge-trackers gives access to but there are many out there. If you know basic Java you can easily form GET requests to the APIs end-point and parse that data to get item prices + add your margins.

For a headstart - here's a class I wrote that uses a basic reader to return the live item price and can store other variables about the item

Spoiler

 

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;

class ItemResource {

    private String name;
    private String url;

    private int id;
    private int price;
    private int amount;

    public ItemResource(String name, int id) {

        this.url = "http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_oldschool/api/catalogue/detail.json?item=" + id;
        this.name = name;
        this.id = id;
        this.price = fetchPrice();

    }

    // Getters

    public int getPrice() {
        return price;
    }

    public int getAmount() {
        return amount;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    // Setters

    public void setAmount(int i) {
        amount = amount + i;
    }

    // Reset Amount

    public void resetAmount() {
        amount = 0;
    }

    private int fetchPrice() {
        try (final BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new URL(url).openStream()))) {
            final String raw = reader.readLine().replace(",", "").replace("\"", "").split("price:")[1].split("}")[0];

            reader.close();
            return raw.endsWith("m") || raw.endsWith("k") ? (int) (Double.parseDouble(raw.substring(0, raw.length() - 1))
                    * (raw.endsWith("m") ? 1_000_000 : 1_000)) : Integer.parseInt(raw);
        } catch (final Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return -1;
    }

}

isn't it faster just to script other money making methods?

Longer to write script = higher barrier to entry = less people doing it = more profitable (theoretically).
