Datamine average lifetime of offers
maximumstock opened this issue · 1 comments
Third party trading sites like poe.trade seem to provide vastly different offers than pathofexile.com/trade.
Apparently, the former need to do indexing first, which the latter does not.
Therefore, when requesting data from both sites at the same time, pathofexile.com/trade will provide more recent data than others.
Idea: Each item pair should have an average offer lifetime. Depending on these lifetimes, it might be beneficial to schedule certain item pair offer requests for a specific backend implementation, ie. more frequently changing data via pathofexile.com/trade and rarely changing data via poe.trade.
Because the official PoE trading API does not send time metadata (created_at, updated_at) and my indexer connection is way too slow to keep up with the changes in realtime, it's impossible to track indexer events along any kind of timeline.
