⚔️ Guild Wars 2 Items & Trading Post Prices Scraper

🚀 Export Guild Wars 2 item data with live Trading Post prices in seconds. Pull from a catalog of 27,966 tradeable items, each joined to its current buy and sell orders.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-04 · 📊 15 fields per record · 27,966 tradeable items · Official GW2 API v2

Track the Guild Wars 2 economy without copying numbers by hand. This Actor reads the official Guild Wars 2 API v2, joins item metadata with live Trading Post buy and sell orders, and returns clean, ready to use rows. Every record carries the item icon, name, type, rarity, level, vendor value, current buy and sell prices in copper, the open order quantities on both sides, and a precomputed margin.

Coverage: the Trading Post id list currently exposes 27,966 tradeable items. You can list the first items automatically, or pass an exact set of item IDs. Names and descriptions are available in English, Spanish, German, French, and Chinese.

📋 What the Guild Wars 2 Items & Prices Scraper does

• Resolves a set of tradeable item IDs from the official Trading Post endpoint, or accepts your explicit itemIds.
• Fetches item metadata and live commerce prices in batches of up to 200 IDs per call.
• Joins both responses by item ID into a single flat row.
• Computes a margin field (sell price minus buy price) so you can scan spreads at a glance.
• Returns the item icon as the first field, ready to render in a table or gallery.
• Lets you keep only items that currently have an open buy or sell order.

⚙️ Input

Example 1. Auto-list the first priced items:

{
"maxItems":5,
"language":"en",
"onlyPriced":true
}

Example 2. Fetch specific items by ID:

{
"itemIds":["24","19684","30684"],
"language":"en",
"onlyPriced":false
}

⚠️ Good to Know: Prices are reported in copper, the base Guild Wars 2 currency (100 copper = 1 silver, 10,000 copper = 1 gold). Some items have a buy or sell side at 0 when no live order exists on that side. Vendor value can legitimately be 0 for many items.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Guild Wars 2 API key? No. The item and commerce price endpoints used here are public and keyless.

What currency are prices in? Copper. 100 copper equals 1 silver, and 10,000 copper equals 1 gold.

Why is a buy or sell price sometimes 0? That side of the market had no open order at scrape time. The value 0 is real, not missing data.

Why is vendorValue 0 on some items? Many items genuinely have no vendor sell value. The API returns 0 for them.

Can I scrape specific items? Yes. Provide their IDs in the itemIds field.

How many items can I pull? Free accounts return up to 10 items. Paid accounts can return up to 1,000,000.

How fresh are the prices? They reflect the Trading Post at the moment of the run. Re-run to refresh.

Which languages are supported? English, Spanish, German, French, and Chinese for names and descriptions.

Can I keep only items that are actively traded? Yes. Leave onlyPriced enabled to drop items with no open orders.

What does the margin field mean? It is the sell price minus the buy price in copper, a quick read on the spread.

Is this affiliated with ArenaNet? No. It is an independent tool that reads the publicly documented Guild Wars 2 API.

How do I track prices over time? Schedule recurring runs and store each dataset as a snapshot.

🔌 Integrate with any app

Every run produces a structured dataset you can pull through the Apify API, webhooks, or any of the integrations above. Wire it into spreadsheets, dashboards, bots, or your own backend.
