An API and web app for runescape merchanting.
An api and web app for tracking your runescape trading.
The api is fairly simple to get started with. Just clone the app, set up a virtual environment, run the tests, and finally deploy.
git clone [email protected]:arlyon/runemerchant.git
cd runemerchant
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
./manage.py test
./manage.py migrate
./manage.py runserver
Downloading items, icons, and price data is fairly easy. There are django commands available for each of the three tasks. Getting set up from a fresh database is as simple as running them.
However, due to how long it takes for the items to download, there is a fixture included that has all the item information included. So then, instead of downloading all of them you will only need the most recently added ones.
./manage.py loaddata items.json
./manage.py get_items
./manage.py get_icons
./manage.py get_prices
There are additional fixtures for commonly used tags, runes, and spells.
./manage.py loaddata tags.json
./manage.py loaddata taggeditems.json
./manage.py loaddata runes.json
./manage.py loaddata spells.json
./manage.py loaddata requiredrunes.json
Keeping the item and prices list up to date is easy too, thanks to
huey, a simple
task queue using redis. If you have redis installed, simply modify
settings.py
to point towards it and run the worker.
./manage.py run_huey
The web app is written with Typescript and React and bundled with
webpack. To start, edit the API_URL
in the webpack config to an
instance of the API, and run yarn build
in the merchapp directory.
The app will be outputted to /dist/ which can be uploaded to a host of
your choice.
