[PHP] Scan the AH for items that are listed for cheaper so you can buy it and vendor

[ev0]

Build this in about 25 minutes; it's super simple. Fill in your server link + api @ dev.battle.net

it will output an itemID to buy; easy enough; I can make it more advanced if you request lol

<?php
// Send the headers
ini_set('memory_limit', '1G');
set_time_limit(-1);
ini_set('max_execution_time', 0);


echo "Running! <br>";
function get_item($item){
    $item_json = "#######"; // https://us.api.battle.net/wow/item/".$item."?locale=en_US&apikey=&&
        $json_to_pull  = json_decode(file_get_contents($item_json));
        $that_this = $json_to_pull->sellPrice;
        return $that_this;
    
}
    $oData=json_decode(file_get_contents("######"),TRUE);   //  https://us.api.battle.net/wow/auction/data/malganis?locale=en_US&apikey=&&&
    $json=json_decode(file_get_contents($oData["files"][0]["url"]));
    
    $rows = array();
    $rows['auctions'] = $json->auctions->auctions;


    foreach($rows as $blah=>$stuff){
            
        foreach($stuff as $things){
        $item = $things->item;
        $price = $things->buyout;    
        if(get_item($item) > $price && $price != 0){
            echo 'Found one! - itemID '.$item.'- price: '.$price.' <br>';    
            }
         }
        
    }

I was...this was easier. I realized if I built it with HB it would have to scan the AH and there's no logical way to do that at the moment without addons. The last thing I want is to create something that is detectable. What I'll build is a series of macros that interact with TSM (apparently they have the ability to do this while scanning the AH).

Simply put, in game; a way to define a variable:

local itemSellPrice = select(11, GetItemInfo(####)));

basically it outpus the value in copper of the item if you input ###

test it by:

/script print(select(11, GetItemInfo(####))));

now we would just have to say if itemSellPrice > BuyoutPrice && != 0 //in case it doesn't have a buyout price

Looks nice! However, I'm a but confused as to how to use it :|
Care to bestow some knowledge?

Find a host that allows PHP; this script is pretty server heavy, so it's difficult for me to host it for everyone.

I am happy to however build an executable PHP file for you that you can run if you sign up for dev.battle.net and give me the API key (in a message, not in public)

Done

Converting this whole project to an executable file. I'll have it ready in 24 hours.

This function has been built into TSM for quite a while already.

Cool that you made one on your own tho!
