I was wondering how I would go about downloading the AH data? I can tell from this post that it is possible ( http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3746635133#5 ) which links to http://us.battle.net/auction-data/7c7ba228f010890c849e038ee61f4375/auctions.json which is exactly what i want with the issue of being the wrong server. what would I need to do to be able to get it for other servers?

Edit: I think i found it. For anybody looking in the future http://blizzard.github.com/api-wow-docs/#idp155960 tells how. For instance my server would be http://us.battle.net/api/wow/auction/data/area-52 which then yields a second url to the actual data.

Yep, you found the answer already, but just to clarify some common questions we get:

  • The request to actually download the data does not count towards your request limit (whether you have a key or not)
  • The auction data file only updates every few hours, make sure to use the last modified field and don't waste requests checking more often than every couple of hours.
  • The data is a snapshot of current auctions on the server. An example of the data can be found in the docs
