Trade value API | Arson Warehouse

Using the API requires programming knowledge. Don't want to do it yourself? Skip to the "Need help?" section at the bottom.

To keep your prices up to date automatically, sending requests from an auto-updating Google spreadsheet is a popular solution. Better yet; schedule a task to run on your own server to calculate your new prices with a formula only known to you, then push the prices to ArsonWarehouse using the endpoints below.

At some point in the future it will be possible to edit your prices through a simple web interface. For now, using the API is the only way to update your prices. Check out Xanet's solution.

Authentication

For every request, set your API key as the Basic Auth username. Leave password blank. Log in to your account to get your API key.

Update items and/or museum set bids

POST https://arsonwarehouse.com/api/v1/bids

{
  "items": [
    {
      "id": 180,
      "price": 785
    },
    {
      "id": 215,
      "price": 750,
      "bulk": [
        {
          "minimum_quantity": 250,
          "price": 760
        },
        {
          "minimum_quantity": 1000,
          "price": 770
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "museum_sets": [
    {
      "type": "exotic-flowers",
      "price": 470000
    },
    {
      "type": "plushies",
      "price": 470000,
      "bulk": [
        {
          "minimum_quantity": 50,
          "price": 476500
        },
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Sending only {"price": 1000} is short for passing a bulk entry where {"minimum_quantity": 1}.
Items and museum sets excluded from the POST will remain unchanged. They will not be deleted.
But when you do include an item or museum set, make sure to include all its (bulk) prices because the bids for each posted item and/or museum set are overwritten. This prevents outdated (bulk) prices to remain active, which could cause unexpected results.
So as a shortcut for deleting bids for many items and/or museum sets at once, post an empty array for "bulk":[] and omit "price".
