Now you can search for SDB contents in all towers!! GlitchRemote "Home/Towers" - ETA: search your friends towers and SDBs in "friends houses" for items ETA2: now with HS filters

now, when you search for a resource or any item (inside "Home/Towers" option), you will see a list of home streets with the number of items it has, and a list of towers, with the name of the owner, the number of items left and the price of each item.
(this number updates... every minute, there is a "refresh" button at the bottom of the page so you can refresh only the "data" and don't lose any street information)

you can select at the left panel a common resource, or you can search for anything in the top Rock search panel.

for example:
Bubbles:
www.glitchremote.com/#HomeS...

Search different cubimals:
www.glitchremote.com/#HomeS...

list towers with "Uralia Street Spirit Cubimal":
www.glitchremote.com/#HomeS...

Note: I'm adding a 3th list with the SDBs that your friends have for the item you are looking for... I will update the post... when its ready...
Note2: there is a bug, and after you SignIn... sometimes you need to select any street or do anything so the screen refresh (I'm looking at it)
ETA: it seems that everything is working ok now.

- UXRoot

ETA2: now you can search for items sold by your friends (3th column of results). it shows not only SDBs in towers... but SDBs (with prices inside friends houses)

ETA3:
*now... lists results updates every 30 seconds automatically... it will show a "Refreshing..." message (at the top center) and you will see without doing anything if there is any change in price / stock for each item in that lists.
*It now works on IE... :)

ETA4: (now on each home street page, it shows the SDBs that you will find inside the tower of that HS)

ETA: now HS pages has "filters" you can find SDBs with "X or more" items. by default it search for 2 or more

  • so it's basically like treating every tower like the auction and just going to the cheapest? I loathe using outside sites but if it means undercutting and beating the competition on prices guess I'll have to have a look see! Kind of a shame though that with this update it will be rare to find a random bargain while street roaming as anyone with the savvy will nab anything cheap and reauctionable.

  • Upgrade cards that can be put in sdbs and resold (such as reshuffle) do not show up in this search. Is this info not released by tiny speck?

    Great program. As usual, super helpful!!!

  • Thanks!

    @Arabesque: I'm adding right now, a 3th column that shows a list of your friends and what they are selling/prices/items. so you could go to your friends towers to buy from them... is your decision.
    @Isabelle the Pug: ouch! I need to add cards items...

  • That was fast indeed good job! (I believe it's supposed to be Lemo's Tower instead of Tower's Lemo ;)
    Posted 5 months ago by Lemo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The list appears to be occasionally incomplete for some reason.  I'm selling garden tools at Winborn's Farm and Garden Coop, and when I search for them they do not necessarily appear.  Items like Shovel, Ace of Spades and hoe don't show up.  High-class hoe does. 

    ETA - seeds don't seem to show up at all.

  • @Lemo: haha... I need to sleep... I just fixed it, it will be in the next upload/release

    @WalruZ: try removing some items from the SDB that is not showing and add them again. TS will show it as an update... and GlitchRemote will get the SDB information. I'm checking the seeds thing...
    Posted 5 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This is great! Thanks so much for creating it!
    Posted 5 months ago by PittyPat is sad Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So perhaps what's going on is that the API will only report on SDBs that have changed state since some starting point.   I will suggest that Windborn try that solution on all SDBs and see if that doesn't kickstart things.  Other tower owners may want to search for their items and act accordingly. 
    Posted 5 months ago by WalruZ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • yes... I can only see SDBs that changed since the last 48 hours +/-... but from now... you shouldn't worry any more. this is only because the API just started to work yesterday.

  • Thanks for doing this UXRoot!  I welcome being able to see who has what on sale, both for personal shopping at towers, & for price comparisons, but I totally get Arabesque's point.  I'm sure certain people will just use the information to nab bargains to resell for profit.

    Crop seeds & tree beans aren't showing up for me either.  I know some are on sale as I have them in the gardening shop section of my tower & I'm sure others must have them too.

  • @UX it's nothing to do with how I buy, just the implications of the programme you have created using TS's information (which I know they gave out for anyone to use) - it just has me wondering more and more what TS are thinking when they promote creating these kinds of site.  It's a cool site, I checked it out - looks nice, clever and informative but it also takes away a huge part of the exploratary aspect of the game making anything easy to get with no work at all. 

    I'm not faulting you at all but if this program is out makes more sense to just continue at auction as the sdb's will be in the same scenario.  At least on auction you know outright what you're up against when you post a sale.   I wouldn't look at glitch remote everytime I wanted to sell in an sdb (and I'm pretty sure a lot of people who play the game aren't even aware of it's existence) so to me it just seems like an unfair advantage (even though theoretically it is open to all - just not everybody reads or has the time to keep up with the forums.

    I nearly didn't post this (and instead was going to write to TS direct with my thoughts) purely for fear of a backlash to my opinion on it but - this game is changing in ways that aren't indicative of a promising future from the sign of things.

    ETA- Nevermind, seems to have fixed itself.

  •  If your SDBs are not showing up in the app, try editing the price (and then set it back, as you wish). The issue is that if the SDB was selling an item for the same price continuously since before we started tracking, no change would have ever been logged.  
    Posted 5 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Arabesque: in a while, whenever anyone sets a sale price on an SDB, they will see recent sale prices for the same item as a pricing guide. So, this information won't only be for people using an outside app.

  • Thanks for the info Stoot.

  • Can't get it to find a purple/orange circle key for sale in my tower for 2c.  I removed and replaced the key and changed the price from 1c to 2c.  
    Posted 5 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • yes... there is the same problem with "keys"... give me a second/minute...
    Posted 5 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • No backlash Arabesque, I hear you.   It does take away some of the unpredictability of the game.  For awhile at least you could roam about, pop into a tower, look at the decor and be surprised by what was there and how it might be priced.   This takes that away.  

    This does introduce an interesting push-pull, SDB vs Auction.   Auctions should be lower because of the 10 minute penalty, higher because of the 7% fee.   SDBs should be higher because of instant access, lower because there's no fee.  

    Given that the fee doesn't affect the consumer,  Auctions have a 10 minute penalty and a 7% fee that the buyer does not have to pay.   SDBs have instant access and no fee.  Edge to SDBs.

  • I love it, but when I search and click on 'chunks of metal rock' it will appear metal ingots instead. Also when I try to search for yellow crumb flowers seeds I guess it goes to yellow crumb flowers, and not to the seeds. :O

    Other than that I like very much!

  • Neat tool, though I have to agree, TS allowing this takes some of the fun out of the tower SDB selling/buying...and stumbling on good deals, or lesser known spots having great deals for close friends.  If we are going to have this, would love for there to be a an owner imposed limit on the number of items another player can buy from an SDB (which is mentioned in other threads), so that really low/good bargains don't get completely wiped out.

    BTW, If you click on the chunk of metal rock, it takes you to the metal ingot list.

  • looked up guano said their were 200+ for sale at a Tower for 1c but when got there nothing in the tower, not even an SDB..? Is it not automatically refreshing what is in the Towers as items are bought?
    Posted 5 months ago by Jeasilver Subscriber! | Permalink
  • is there a way to search for tower SDBs with SWFs in them?
    Posted 5 months ago by The Cat Face Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Uniquely Prime: I will fix the metal ingot thing in the next release... is incredible but is more complicated than it seems. thanks for reporting it!

    @Jeasilver: everything updates very fast... but there are a lot of people using GR... so if it was a very good price... then maybe some one just bought them.

    @The Cat Face: added the 3 SWF items. I named them with the colors.

  • Refreshing the page for yellow crumb flowers in Chrome, Chrome announced "This page is Estonian. Would you like to translate it?" Apparently it's trying to translate user names... Silly Chrome.

  • There's something not right here:

    In my tower I have 7 SDBs with 100 of each kind of herb.

    When I logged in after being gone for at least 5 hours here's what search revealed

    Gandlevery  -- not in results   Actual:  1 SDB with 100 herbs @ 60c
    Hairball -- 100 @ 20c  Actual:  1 SDB with 86 herbs @ 60c
    Purple -- not in results  Actual:  1 SDB with 100 herbs @ 20c
    Rookswort -- 100 @20  Actual 1 SDB with 100 herbs @ 80c
    Rubeweed -- 100 @18  Actual 1 SDB with 100 herbs @ 100c
    Silvertongue -- not in results  Actual 1 SDB with 100 herbs @ 100c
    Yellow crumb -- 100 @55   Actual:  1 SDB with 100 herbs @ 130c

    Notice that it is not a database update issue.  My prices had not changed in 5 hours, and except for one of the SDBs no herbs had been removed or added for 5 hours.  

    Not seeing my tower in the Gandlevery results, I changed the price and removed all the herbs.  I then added all the herbs back and priced the SDB again.  10 minutes later I'm still not showing up in the list.

    I want to like this app.  I really wanted to use the info to adjust my pricing to be competitive.  But as far as I can tell, the results are not related to what's actually on sale in my tower.  I'm wondering if Jeasilver's issue is related to this.

  • I think Yellow Crumb flower at least is showing the seeds, not the flowers - in the link up there, it shows the amount of seeds I was selling a short while ago, together with the price I had set for them. I've never sold any Yellow Crumb flowers. So perhaps you're having the same issue with your other herbs.
    Posted 5 months ago by Not a Princess Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That's not the entire story.

    For every herb I sell, I also sell the seeds.  There should not be any search for "yellow crumb" that doesn't include my herbs and seeds.  

     And, I don't sell any essences.  So either I should be listed in all the searches or none of them.  (ie, if search for 'seeds' is returning 'essences', then I should never show up in search for 'seeds'.  And if a search for 'flowers' is returning 'seeds', then I should show up in every search for 'flowers'.).
