Requires google-gson in your build path for parsing the JSON response!

Impressive, now I'm not a java programmer, but why this part:

 

public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(getAvgPrice("0"));                       // => NaN
        System.out.println(getAvgPrice("Lobster"));             // => 226.689
        System.out.println(getAvgPrice("3+@@#$@.---"));    // => NaN
        System.out.println(getAvgPrice("Blue partyhat"));    // => 48370.227

This is how you test it...

This deserves to be used more .

Very nice

 

but is it possible to grab every item in an area with the value of above 200 and list them ?
?
