Technologies

The app is written in Node.js and packaged as a native application using the Electron framework.

How it works

The tool starts by fetching the last change_id using the http://poe.ninja API. Chunks are then downloaded from the Path of Exile API with gzip compression into memory. Each item in the chunk is compared to the filters created by the user and, should it match the criteria, displayed in the tool.

How fast is it?

It depends on your connection speed.

Is it faster than poe.trade?

It is slightly faster for me, but that may not be the case for everyone.

Running the tool

There are two ways to run the tool, either from the sources directly or by fetching one of the releases.

From source

Within a terminal:

  • Clone the code using git clone https://github.com/licoffe/POE-sniper.git
  • Change to the cloned location and run npm install to install all dependencies
  • Finally, run npm start to start the indexer

Disclaimer

Make sure to have unlimited connection plan and a good bandwidth since the tool downloads currently around 1.5 MB of JSON data every second.
