For script writers. I made this for myself. It gets the current price in Zybez for a given item.

public class Exchange {

    private final String BASE_URL = "http://forums.zybez.net/runescape-2007-prices/api/";

    public double getPrice(String itemName) {
        String json = getJSON(BASE_URL + getFormattedStringForUrl(itemName));
        return getPriceFromJson(json);
    }

    private String getFormattedStringForUrl(String string) {
        while(string.contains(" ")) {
            string = string.replace(" ", "+");
        }
        return string;
    }

    private double getPriceFromJson(String json) {
        int startPosition = json.indexOf("average\":\"") + "average\":\"".length();
        int endPosition = json.indexOf("\",\"", startPosition);
        return Double.parseDouble(json.substring(startPosition, endPosition));
    }

    private String getJSON(String url) {
        try {
            URL u = new URL(url);
            HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
            c.setRequestMethod("GET");
            c.setRequestProperty("Content-length", "0");
            c.setUseCaches(false);
            c.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
            c.setConnectTimeout(3000);
            c.setReadTimeout(3000);
            c.connect();
            int status = c.getResponseCode();

            switch (status) {
                case 200:
                case 201:
                    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(c.getInputStream()));
                    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                    String line;
                    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                        sb.append(line+"\n");
                    }
                    br.close();
                    return sb.toString();
            }

        } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Usage

Paste this file in your script as INNER CLASS. Like:

public class SXSomeScript extends Script {

    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        // Your things here
    }

    @Override
    public int onLoop() {
        // Your things here
    }

    // Copy above class, this is just an example.
    public class Exchange {
        ...
    }
}

Then use it as follows in your class.

Note: Use the onStart() to get the prices, not the onLoop()!

Exchange exchange = new Exchange();
exchange.getPrice("dragon chainbody"); // Returns 13735000.0 (a double)

Mind describing what this does?

Good job, will use it.

It gets the recent price for an item. For example, if you want the price for an oak log:

Exchange exchange = new Exchange();
exchange.getPrice("oak log");

sick man thanks

 

This would be very cool if the developers added this to the client, great job. 

I believe he means to use it as estimated gp/hr

Correct.

Using this, very helpful.
