PoE Live Search Manager

Desktop tool for Path of Exile for managing live item searches and making instant offers without leaving the game.

It is an alternative to keeping several trade site tabs open in the browser and having to leave the game to check new items. It consumes far less resources and lets you message the seller instantly in-game.

According to GGG, the current form of trading is not going to change. Still, it can be improved. We've been improving it since Legacy league. Settle in for simpler, faster, in-game trading.

You are viewing the README of version v1.12.1. You can find other releases here.

Usage

The live search functionality requires a Session ID. In general, it's not safe to give out your Session ID because it can be used to impersonate your account. In our case, you can provide any Session ID (e.g. one from a new, empty account). The app only stores your Session ID locally and only uses it for live searches.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter an issue, report it. Restarting the app can help resolve it.

Searches not connecting?

  • Make sure pathofexile.com/trade live search service works: open search in browser, click Activate Live Search, make sure new items are showing up.
  • Your session ID can change. Make sure it's up-to-date.
  • There's a limit of 20 simultaneous connections. This is pathofexile.com/trade limitation, you can't connect more in the browser either.
  • Restart the app, try reconnecting to all sockets and sockets 1-by-1.
  • Make sure rate limit indicator is green while connecting.
  • Search links can become invalid. If a few searches are not connecting make sure they are valid via checking them in the browser.
  • You can have an IP which is blacklisted by Cloudflare (1, 2). You'll know this by getting a captcha when visiting pathofexile.com. Getting a new IP will resolve the issue.
  • Log out and log in again. This can reset your session ID.

Notifications not showing up?

The app uses standard Windows notifications. If they don't show up the solution almost certainly has to do with your system settings.

  • Make sure Path of Exile runs in Windowed mode
  • See if the "Test notification" on the Settings screen works
  • Turn off "Focus assist" or add the app to priority apps
  • Turn on "Get notifications from apps and other senders" in Notification settings
  • Turn on notifications for the app in Notification settings
  • Enable notification sound in Sound settings
  • Search for further notification settings according to your Windows version

Notification settings

Installation

  • Installer hangs during re-installation: in special cases (e.g. manually touching files) the installation can be left in an inconsistent state and therefore broken. Follow steps here.

Caveats

  • For the notifications to show while in-game PoE needs to run in windowed or windowed fullscreen mode
  • When enabled, your clipboard will be altered with every new whisper message
