The API is intended to be consumed by browser clients, headless agents, and indexing systems. All endpoints accept `Accept: application/json`. - `GET /api/market/overview` — Platform-wide live KPIs: tracked items, snapshots in the last hour, freshness in seconds, stale lane count. - `GET /api/market/items` — Paginated, sortable item catalog with live unit prices per (city, quality, enchantment). - `GET /api/market/items/{itemId}` — Per-item snapshot: live buy/sell ladders, history range, tier, and localized name. - `GET /api/market/opportunities` — Active cross-city and Black Market arbitrage opportunities ranked by net margin. - `GET /api/market/history` — Historical price/volume series for an item, scoped per city, quality, and enchantment. ## Data model Albion items are identified by their canonical type id (e.g. `T6_BAG`, `T4_2H_HAMMER`). Cities are one of: Caerleon, Bridgewatch, Lymhurst, Martlock, Thetford, Fort Sterling, Black Market. Quality is an integer 1..5 (Normal..Masterpiece). Enchantment is an integer 0..4 (`.0`..`.4`). Tier is an integer 1..8. Prices are reported in silver and represent the most recent observed buy/sell order for the (item, city, quality, enchantment) tuple. Timestamps are ISO-8601 in UTC. ## Localization The site is published in 15 locales. The English (en-US) URL is the canonical x-default; every other locale is served at a lowercase locale prefix. Each page emits hreflang link rel alternates and a per-locale canonical URL.
