If you can extend it to check for buy/sell, and only if there's recent offers, and alch prices, that'd make it a lot more usable. That's what I do for my Slayer script

This is more for stuff like calculating money gained per hour, nothing big.

If i recall correctly there's a full-fletched library on like the 2nd or 3rd page of this subforum.

There is one but I don't believe it checks for actual offers, and therefor if there's an item with a price of 1,000,000 but that's only people selling, no one buying, it will still return that (incorrect) result.

Note that certain items with apostrophe or plus signs in their name may require URL encoding

replace "+" with %2B and replace " ' " (apostrophe) with %27

Totally forgot that some items have a " ' " in the name, plus sign works fine though.

I can't imagine that plus signs would work fine, since they are interpreted as spaces

a Dragon dagger(p+) for example, would be translated to Dragon+dagger(p+) = 3 words: "Dragon", "dagger(p" and ")"
