Guild Wars 2

Is there any 3rd party tool (webpage, phone app, etc) that let you place buy orders on the Trading Post without loading up the full game? It would be very useful on a slow internet connection, for example, or to check in during a work break.

(I’m not a programmer but I found a old thread that seems to suggest the API allows for this … although it might have changed since then?)

Thanks!

No, you have to be in game to buy and sell on the TP. There are sites using the API that allow you to monitor your TP activity but it isn’t possible to sell or buy using them.

No for all the bad reasons one can imagine. And the API does not allow any “write” action, only reads.

Heh, I can just imagine the chaos trading bots would create because we’ve seen them in the real world stock market.

One second iron ore is going for 3 silver, the next second 2 copper, the next second 12 gold.

Thanks, all. It hadn’t occurred to me that if the API allowed such an ability in the first place it’d probably be near-impossible to put in anti-botting safeguards. Guess watchlists are the closest we’re gonna get, then.
