PHP access[]
Is it not possible to connect to the database using PHP, (like hiscores) and take the max med and min prices?
URL hacking[]
When I changed the URLs for the three images involved in the display of the thirty-day price chart for [yew log]s, I was able to get images that correspond to the prices for an entire year. The prices before the start of this year are not shown for some reason. Here are the original and "hacked" URLs involved:
Original
- http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/2239_graph.gif?id=1515&scale=1
- http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/2239_scale.gif?id=1515&scale=1&axis=0
- http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/2239_scale.gif?id=1515&scale=1&axis=2
"Hacked"
- http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/2239_graph.gif?id=1515&scale=2
- http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/2239_scale.gif?id=1515&scale=2&axis=0
- http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/2239_scale.gif?id=1515&scale=2&axis=2
Here is the result:
Image:Yew_Logs_1_Year.png
Note: all I did to change the URLs was to change "scale=1" to "scale=2".
On a tangent, when I reassembled the three "hacked" images together, it shows a sharp drop in prices from the beginning of the year to the end of January. I originally posted this message without logging in. MarkGyver 04:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Spreadsheet[]
If it's possible, can someone add instructions for the OpenOffice.org equivalent to Excel, Calc? It may not have the capability, but I'd guess that it does since they try to cover most of the Excel features. Iplayrs 08:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
I havent used OpenOffice.org before, but I am guessing that if it has anything that has to do with importing data, a help resource will have the answer

It's not possible anymore to track items using excel since they made the ge dbase share the link with the rs homepage... Please remove the section.. --Rs simeon 11:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Sure you can...well, at least for Excel 2007. Select the whole page (using the symbol at the upper left), and make sure that under Options, you have "None" selected for formatting, then click "Import". Nobody 202 20:26, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, wait, after I upgraded to Firefox 3, it won't work anymore for the reason you mentioned...IE doesn't help any, either...anyone have any ideas how to get around this? Nobody 202 04:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- Something strange is going on...one minute I can reach it using http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/frontpage.ws , the next, it's under runescape.com...Nobody 202 15:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
www.runescape.com is a html frameset, which contains a single html frame which covers the screen. when you first visit, the webpage www.runescape.com/title.ws is loaded into this html frame, and not into the address bar
I agree with Simeon, when you follow the instructions for Excel 2007, the full page appears in the import box, but when you press the Import button, it inserts 89 rows of text with "None" formatting and a similar result for "Full HTML" formatting, with no chart.

I hate to bring this up, but are these still working? I just tried to import prices via Open Office and it was a complete mes - plus the instructions are fuzzy and poorly written. If someone with some experience or knowledge can help with this topic, it would be appreciated! (68.63.51.198 20:13, February 15, 2015 (UTC))

Programmer API[]
With the release of the new website design, we also received access to a JSON format API. I couldn't find any documentation, only the API links. But I feel like this should somehow be included in the existing article / seperate article. Someone more experienced in the art of writing wikis, these are the links:
General item information: http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_rs/api/catalogue/detail.json?item=ID Graphs: http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_rs/api/graph/ID.json
Replace 'ID' with the item ID of a GE tradeable.

- I managed to find the docs (http://services.runescape.com/m=rswiki/en/Grand_Exchange_APIs), but not sure what section to put it in...
