Warframe Market API Python Client

This is a Python client for the Warframe Market API. It allows you to search for and retrieve listings for items being sold on the Warframe Market platform, and it can notify you when a new listing appears that matches your search criteria.

Setup

• Clone this repository to your local machine.
• Install the required packages using pip install -r requirements.txt.
• Create a token.json file with your API key, as described in the API documentation.
• Run python main.py to start the program.

Usage

The program prompts the user to enter a search query for an item, along with a price range. Then, it retrieves listings that match the search query and filters them based on the price range.

The search query should be in the format item_name price_range, where item_name is the name of the item you're searching for and price_range is the maximum price you're willing to pay. For example, if you want to search for an Ivara Prime Set for 300 plat, you would enter Ivara Prime Set 300.

If no listings are found that match the search query and price range, the program prompts the user to search again or exit. If listings are found, the program displays them in a table sorted by price.

The program also allows the user to continuously refresh the listings to see if any new ones are created that match the search criteria. If a new listing is found that meets the search criteria, the program displays a notification with the details of the listing.
