WoW API: QueryAuctionItems

Revision as of 05:10, 8 January 2009 by WoWWiki>Sturn (Updated with new information)

WoW API < QueryAuctionItems

Will return information about items in the auction house. There must be a delay of about 0.3 second between regular queries and 15 minutes between getall queries. Use CanSendAuctionQuery() to determine if a query can be done.

QueryAuctionItems("name", minLevel, maxLevel, 
  invTypeIndex, classIndex, subclassIndex, 
  page, isUsable, qualityIndex, getAll
)

page
What page in the auctionhouse this shows up. Note that pages start at 0.
isUsable

0 - No restriction
1 - Common Quality (white) or better
2 - Uncommon Quality (green) or better
3 - Rare Quality (blue) or better
4 - Epic Quality (purple) or better
getAll
Download the ENTIRE auction house as one single page. Only allowed when CanSendAuctionQuery() returns true as its second return (~every 15 minutes). May disconnect people with low bandwidth. Also see notes on client-to-server traffic in GetAuctionItemInfo() (Added in 2.3, though initially disabled. Appears to be enabled as of 2.4)


Examples

QueryAuctionItems("", 10, 19, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0)

Result

Finds twink gear! (blue armor between lvl 10 and 19)
also, the First page is page (0) zero
/script QueryAuctionItems("Nobles", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

Result

Finds anything on the AH with the word 'Nobles' in it. Useful for hunting down that elusive last and final Darkmoon Card. :)
Hint: AH window has to be open before you click the macro.

Notes

If name is longer than 63 bytes, you'll be disconnected from the server.
invTypeIndex does not appear to work for values past 14.
If any of the entered arguments is of the wrong type, the search assumes a nil value.
