World of Warcraft Market Trends

A web application plus a collection of tools for importing World of Warcraft auction house data and tracking price trends. See a live demo at https://wow.open-mailbox.com/.

Dependencies

• Go (tested on 1.9)
• PostgreSQL (tested on 9.5)
• NPM (tested on 6.4)

Development

1. git clone
2. cd wow_market_trends
3. make
4. Create a database using PostgreSQL (I called mine 'wow').
5. cat schema.sql | psql wow to load the schema into the database.
6. cd cmd/wowexchange
7. ./wowexchange to fetch the latest auction house snapshot
8. ./wowexchange serve to start a webserver locally on port 8081.

In order to fetch the latest auction house snapshot data, a Blizzard API key is required. You can obtain one by registering a free account at the Blizzard Developer Portal. Set the BLIZZARD_API_KEY in your environment using the obtained key.

Change the constants in server.go for a different port or logging directory. Change the constant in auctions.go for a different WoW realm.
