, usefulness found

Good job man! Nice to see some stuff around here

I suggest using a map if you feel like using caching

What code would you use to implement this into your script? I'm pretty confused rn.

I'm guessing you'd just want to make a class with this code. Then call the function inside that class, which is called "parse". Then type item id and if you're buying or selling.

Example:

int onePrice = GrandExchange.parse(1, "buying");

That would get the price of the item with id 1.

 

EDIT: In general you really just want to use the functions provided in the class.
