RSBuddy/OSBuddy Exchange has more accurate prices than Zybez for the most part.

Closing streams is programming 101.

 

If you dont close streams the buffer might not get flushed and you can get unexpected results.

Legit as always :p

Haha, thanks. I fixed it.

Are you using Big java for your book?

 

If you are, all the test are based off of a teacher copy of the book. I probably still have mine if you'd want to see it

The getPrice(), getAverageBuyOffer(), and getAverageSellOffer() methods are incorrect. String[] data will always be length 5, not length 3, so those methods will always return 0. For a simple fix, you may be able to change it to data.length==5 or just delete that parameter overall.

 

Also, it's fairly simple to split each index of the array by the ":" because the second half will be the price you want and the first half will be the description. For example, if you go to the link for iron ore (https://api.rsbuddy.com/grandExchange?a=guidePrice&i=440), you can see that the stream is:

 

{"overall":54,"buying":54,"buyingQuantity":125855,"selling":53,"sellingQuantity":103603}

 

Split up in the getData() method, It looks like this

 

String[] data = {

   ""overall":54",

   ""buying":54",

   ""buyingQuantity":125855",

   ""selling":53",

   ""sellingQuantity":103603"

}

 

If you split by colon, data[0].split(":") returns the array {""overall"", 54}. then, returning the parse of index 1 gives you 54.

 

Furthermore, the getter methods would return the wrong values, because data[2] is actually the buying quantity, not the selling price. It is important to change the return statement of getAverageSellOffer() to use data[3].

 

Here are the changes I made:

public static int getPrice(int itemID) {
	String[] data = getData(itemID);
	if (data != null && data.length == 5) {
		return Integer.parseInt(data[0].split(":")[1]);
	}
	return 0;
}

public static int getAverageBuyOffer(int itemID) {
	String[] data = getData(itemID);
	if (data != null && data.length == 5) {
		return Integer.parseInt(data[1].split(":")[1]);
	}
	return 0;
}

public static int getAverageSellOffer(int itemID) {
	String[] data = getData(itemID);
	if (data != null && data.length == 5) {
		return Integer.parseInt(data[3].split(":")[1]);
	}
	return 0;
}

If you're still using this you should transfer over to the new Grand Exchange API itself by Alek.
