Support for Exile Tools #51

Open kyri0 opened 8 years ago

kyri0 commented 8 years ago

Basically just creating a ticket for what we have discussed for a while now.

Best would to let the user decide which indexer to search from, as an option. poe.trade and Exile Tools being the only open ones I know of, but there are probably more out there. If Durian was able to search them all (I don't know if it would be possible), it would be the most powerfull searching tool indeed.

I can't forget Blackmarket. It is a tool a lot more appealing to people that like visual feedback, and I believe it should not die. Maybe merge some features from there into Durian? The auto-updater comes first to mind.

has exile tools indexer any advantage over poe.trade?

thirdy commented 8 years ago

it's faster bec with poe.trade Durian is making two http requests, one for the search and one for the sort (which is what you'd do when using poe.trade directly).

then with poe.trade, it's giving us html which is let's say 70% of it is not item data.

with exiletools (which is open source unlike poe.trade btw), you can request the data in json format, sorted in all the ways (and some advance ways, e.g. search engine advance ways) we want in just one request.

it's also not limited to 99 items. the list things better with exiletools is so so much more, and I would probably make a wall of text as long as the great wall to list all of them. note that exiletools uses elastic search.

but sadly there's the monopoly issue that i keep mentioning to promote awareness of it.

Will probably change durian to use exile tools once GGG releases it's promised API
