I know how to inventory.getItem("Lobster").getId()

 

But is there a way to get the id for an item you don't have? 

 

I believe there's a list here: http://www.itemdb.biz/

Programatically getting the id from a string is a lot harder than vice versa but there are two main ways I can think of to do it. First is to scrape a site such as the one @Apaec linked, second is to loop the Item Definition cache until you find the string you're looking for (make sure to check that it's not noted or anything).

I am looking for a way for the bot to get the id without the item. The GE api requires the item id for

buyItem(int itemId, java.lang.String searchTerm, int price, int quantity)

 

Makes it difficult to buy an item if it does not have one, and the list of items I want to buy is long, so I am trying to loop it.

Thanks! I will look into that.

A word to the wise, you don't need to iterate every item in the cache as approximately half are noted. Find the pattern and this will cut down the execution time by roughly 50%.

Here you can use this:

Usage would be:

ItemData.get("Cannonball","ID")

You can include another level of cache via map if you want but, the way it's now is fine. Other properties can also be retrieved, check inside the code.

You are a saint, thanks.

Meh, at least you got the decency to say that your gonna use it. It's meant to be public anyhow.

It's neat, I had a personal 'price grabber' already but it didn't use JSON, so if I had too many requests it'd struggle.

Instead of caching every item ID you need to know, you could also use this snippet made by @Explv.
