Pull items from API

[mcmcford]

Pulling all the items from the API on startup / at a regular interval will make the bot much more robust to game changes such as new items being added.

https://www.simcompanies.com/api/v2/market-ticker/0/<ISO date>/ can be used to get lowest exchange price, item IDs and item pictures. From the item pictures paths, the names can likely be derived. There is also likely a better endpoint to use for this usecase

[mcmcford]

The easiest place to get items full names and ids from seems to be the language file https://d1fxy698ilbz6u.cloudfront.net/static/js/lang6/en.json

This clearly also avoids issue of item picture names not matching the items actual name, examples of which are below
