GE prices API alternative

[dokato]

Hi, 

Is there an alternative for the rsbuddy api? It's always down for some reason.

Thx in advance

Like H0rn posted, you can use the official rs API.

I would probably recommend writing some code to use the rsbuddy API, and when a price fetch fails, fallback to the official osrs API.

I would also recommend using a JSON library like JSON simple, it's just easier to maintain.

I think I have some code in one of my scripts to do the above, will post later when I can

Thanks guys, 

I know there is the official OSRS GE API but it's far from accurate when it comes to prices, therefore i wanted to use the rsbuddy api. 

I just want to know if there is another one with good accuracy.

There's also the osrs wiki prices, although I'm really not sure where they get them from. http://oldschoolrunescape.wikia.com/wiki/Exchange:Raw_lobster

Another alternative is to use: https://storage.googleapis.com/osbuddy-exchange/summary.json

Or the version hosted on rsbuddy's site https://rsbuddy.com/exchange/summary.json  (may have the same issue of going down, not sure)

You can download the file to the user's data directory, and then read it using a json library.
