Hello people, i wanted to make a profit calc ETC with google spreadsheets but i have the hardest time making it grab the prices.

=Index(ImportHtml(Concatenate("http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_rs/results.ws?query=guam"), "table", 1),4,3)

did not work, though this should work for the RS3 G.E. but it does not

 

the only way i hoped i could get it to work was via the find table thing as in the link above but the Oldschool RS G.E. 

 

 

it has a table but no link i could copy paste in

 

if i go to the iron ore itself

 

 

now it isn't in a table it can grab the price from all i could find is that the price is between <h3> and </h3>

thought it was simple just grabbing a price from the G.E. with google spreadsheets... but nope

 

all help will be appreciated

EDIT: doesn't seem to work quite well, so I wrote a custom function:
EDIT2: fixed comma issue

 

CELL FORMULA: =GetPriceRS3(<id>) or =GetPriceOSRS(<id>)




function GetPriceOSRS(id) {
  return GetPrice('http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_oldschool/api/catalogue/detail.json?item=', id);
}

function getPriceRS3(id) {
 return GetPrice('http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_rs/api/catalogue/detail.json?item=', id);
}

function GetPrice(url, id) {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
  
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url + id);
  var data = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
  

  price = (''+data['item']['current']['price']).replace(/,/g, "");
  if(price[price.length-1] === 'b') price = price.substr(0,price.length-1)*1000000000;
  else if(price[price.length-1] === 'm') price = price.substr(0,price.length-1)*1000000;
  else if(price[price.length-1] === 'k') price = price.substr(0,price.length-1)*1000;
  
  return parseInt(price);  
}
