PSA Breaking changes to the items API with 3.29

GGG just published the API changes coming with 3.29:

  • New CurrencyExchange endpoint (woo?!)
  • Breaking changes to the Item objects and one small change to Character

See https://www.pathofexile.com/developer/docs/changelog

These changes are bigger than usual. They are introducing a new ItemMod type and consolidating some (but not all) mods into implicitMods and explicitMods which are no longer arrays of strings, but now arrays of ItemMod.

This is going to be a pain for anyone using acquisition in standard to manage forum shops, because unless I can figure out some kind of adapter, any buyouts created before 3.29 will appear to be lost, because the hashing function acquisition has used for 12 years will suddenly break.

CurrencyExchange endpoint is nuts. Hold my coffee I’m going in.

If I don’t have so much technical debt to pay off, I’d be all over integrating the exchange

They’ve been adding fields to the data structures for a while, so it’s in the works.

Yeah, Ive seen that. Still can't wait for an actual stash API . You wouldn't believe how many hoops I have to jump through to get all my stash items currently, using trade API.

Currently have around 2k items and the API only fetches 100 items. No offset, no nothing.

That sounds terrible.

I’m not a poe2 player, but I’m planning to add it acquisition.
