Download AH data. - Blue Tracker

#1 - April 16, 2012, 1:36 p.m.

I was wondering how I would go about downloading the AH data? I can tell from this post that it is possible ( http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3746635133#5 ) which links to http://us.battle.net/auction-data/7c7ba228f010890c849e038ee61f4375/auctions.json which is exactly what i want with the issue of being the wrong server. what would I need to do to be able to get it for other servers?

Edit: I think i found it. For anybody looking in the future http://blizzard.github.com/api-wow-docs/#idp155960 tells how. For instance my server would be http://us.battle.net/api/wow/auction/data/area-52 which then yields a second url to the actual data.

Yep, you found the answer already, but just to clarify some common questions we get:

The request to actually download the data does not count towards your request limit (whether you have a key or not)
The auction data file only updates every few hours, make sure to use the last modified field and don't waste requests checking more often than every couple of hours.
The data is a snapshot of current auctions on the server. An example of the data can be found in the docs
